Understanding the Root
Constipation often signals a need for balance rather than punishment. Common contributors include:
- Inadequate fiber or fluid intake
- Sedentary habits or disruptions caused by travel
- Stress, rushed routines, or regularly ignoring natural urges
- Certain medications or changes associated with different life stages
The goal is to create conditions in which your body can function naturally: fiber adds bulk, adequate fluid helps keep stools softer, movement supports normal bowel activity, and patience allows healthy routines to take hold.
