MAKE WATER A PRIORITY

-

Two of the main causes of constipati­on are dehydratio­n and a diet low in fibre. Increase your water intake and avoid the over-consumptio­n of caffeine (also found in some fizzy and diet drinks). Research suggests people who have plenty of fluid are less likely to be constipate­d. Our stools are made up of around 75% water, so we need plenty to form these!
