2. Stay Hydrated
Water helps soften stool and keeps digestion moving
Dehydration is a common cause of constipation
Drink 6–8 glasses of water daily — more if active.
3. Move Your Body
Physical activity stimulates intestinal contractions
Even walking 20–30 minutes a day helps
Great for bloating and regularity.
4. Eat Probiotic-Rich Foods
Support a healthy gut microbiome
Examples: Yogurt (with live cultures), kefir, sauerkraut, kimchi, kombucha
Not a “cleanse” — but a long-term gut support.
5. Limit Processed Foods & Added Sugars
These can disrupt gut balance and cause bloating
High-fat, low-fiber diets slow digestion
Focus on whole, unprocessed foods.
