Constipation often occurs due to lack of physical exercise, also due to ingesting small amounts of liquid or eating foods low in fiber. Therefore, it is essential to follow the following recommendations for the prevention of constipation, which can avoid the use of laxatives:
- You should change your eating habits. Eat foods rich in fiber, fruits, vegetables, legumes, etc.
- Drink plenty of water.
- Avoid sedentary lifestyle by doing regular physical exercise.

- Make sure to dedicate enough time for bowel movements to occur without rushing.
