General Health Information

Fruits and vegetables are great in a diet designed to avoid
constipation as they are excellent sources of fiber. Whole grain breads
are an excellent source of fiber as well and need to be included in any diet to
avoid constipation. Fruits such as apples, apricots, and even prunes are
all rich sources of fiber but it is important to eat the skins as well because
they contain most of the fiber. Excessive straining during bowel movements may
lead to bloody constipationas a result of hemorrhoids. Supplemental to any
diet to avoid constipation is being certain to drink plenty of water each and
every day.
