Constipation, a No-Good!

One of the most visible things that prove that there are problems with the abdomen is constipation. According to medical definitions, it is a of the digestive system in which a person experiences hard feces that are difficult to expel and sometimes even painful. Of course, you probably know that, since I doubt there is a adult in this world who had no such problems. However, we’re not talking about the occasional constipation here, but about that one which is presenting health problems.

Usually, constipation and colon health are strongly linked, since hard feces result out of a slow intestinal tract, which causes the colon to entirely drain the water out of the aliments. Even if it is not linked with IBS (irritable bowel syndrome), constipation can have severe side-effects, the most severe of them being bowel obstruction.

However, constipation itself, if not caused or kept “alive” by other diseases, is pretty easy to handle and prevent. Consuming aliments rich in fiber (fruits, vegetables, and grains, both as solid food and as juice), magnesium salts or slow doses or laxative can do wonders for our body and digestive system. Also, exercises and practicing daily sports will help the bowel movements, thus facilitating digestion and elimination constipation.

Remember! It’s easier to prevent than to cure. Don’t let your life be destroyed by the belief that “I’m young, nothing can happen to me”. Health is the most important thing in the world. Trust me, now I know!
