Yes pupa.parva, you correctly have noticed, if you have a health diet - you kill problem with constipation naturally. Constipation is mainly due to poor eating habits, insufficient exercise, not getting enough fiber and not drinking enough water. Yes, constipation is quite uncomfortable and most everyone knows when they have it.
One way to help get things moving is to increase your intake of potassium through eating foods it naturally occurs in. You remember your grandmother telling you to eat prunes to relieve constipation, right? Well that is because prunes are high in potassium!
Potassium works wonders on the walls of the colon and helps to stimulate peristaltic action which makes your bowels move. It also helps to clean out layers of mucus and dried fecal matter that have built up along the colon walls.
Other foods that contain potassium include: tomatoes, broccoli, cucumbers, kale, sesame seeds, wheat germ, brewers yeast, pineapple and cauliflower. Also you should include eating more fiber which is found in fresh fruit (bananas, apples, papaya, grapes and oranges), fresh vegetables, whole grains and pulses. You should drink a minimum of 8 glasses of water each day or juice. And exercise.
