General Health Information

Fiber helps form soft, bulky stool. It is found in many
vegetables, fruits, and grains. Be sure to add fiber a little at a time, so
your body gets used to it slowly. Changing what you eat and drink and how much
you exercise will help relieve and prevent constipation. Here are some steps
you can take. Liquid helps keep the stool soft and easy to pass, so it’s
important to drink enough fluids. Try not to drink liquids that contain
caffeine or alcohol. Caffeine and alcohol tend to dry out your digestive
system. Regular exercise helps your digestive system stay active and healthy.
