Constipation can be mild or intense. In either case, it is important to find a resolve. It is good to look at possible causes. Reversing these causes will then become the cure.

Causes and Natural Cures of Constipation:

• Dehydration is the most common cause of constipation. Dehydration comes from drinking little or no water in addition to drinking dehydrating drinks, such as coffee, regular tea, alcohol and taking a variety of medications. Drinking plenty of water each day is vital to bowel regularity and overall health.

• Too much fiber compared to the ratio of hydrating liquids creates dry stools, thus causing constipation. Too little fiber will definitely add to the problem. The key is to recognize just what is the right amount of fiber. This can be determined once bowel regularity is established.
• Little or no fruits and vegetables in the diet is also a difficulty.

• Constipation can also be a result of little or no exercise. As a society, we work hard and become tired, yet we are very sedentary. Movement of the body aids movement of the bowels.

• Too many fatty foods, fast foods and other “junk” foods contribute primarily to a person’s weight and not to bowel health. There are always negative effects to consistent and constant “bad” food habits. Slowly and deliberately changing those habits create regularity in addition to a better life in every way.

• The occasional enema can aid in good bowel health. The real cure is in what a person eats and how persistently he exercises.
