Normal bowel habits vary from person to person. While some people go three times a day; others go 3-4 times in a week. Not having a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1mg.com\/articles\/fight-irritable-bowel-syndrome-in-6-simple-ways\/\">bowel movement<\/a> for a few days does not mean that you have constipation. Many people believe not having regular bowel movement causes the body to absorb poisonous substances in stools. This is not true.<\/p>\n<h3>Here are some easy ways to relieve and prevent constipation<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Make your own <strong>multigrain aata<\/strong> from whole wheat, jau (barley), bajra (pearl millet), jowar (great millet), ragi (finger millet), makki (corn), singara (chestnut). All these are excellent sources of fiber, antioxidants, B vitamins and minerals.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid using <strong>white flour<\/strong> (maida)<\/li>\n<li>Drink at least <strong>8 glasses of water<\/strong> (1-2 liters) daily<\/li>\n<li><strong>Avoid coffee<\/strong> and other caffeinated drinks<\/li>\n<li>Have a glass of <strong>warm water<\/strong> every morning and before you go to bed<\/li>\n<li>Include more <strong>fruits and vegetables<\/strong> into your diet<\/li>\n<li><strong>Exercise<\/strong> daily. Brisk walking or running for 20 minutes daily can help in regulating bowel habits<\/li>\n<li><strong>Never ignore<\/strong> the urge to have a bowel movement<\/li>\n<li>Some<strong> home remedies <\/strong>to relive constipation are:\n<ol>\n<li>Soak a handful of <strong>kishmish<\/strong> (raisins) in water overnight. Have them first thing in the morning on an empty stomach<\/li>\n<li>Boil a few <strong>figs <\/strong>in a 100-150ml of<strong> milk<\/strong>, drink the warm mixture at night before bed<\/li>\n<li>Mix <strong>flaxseeds <\/strong>(Alsi) in your cereal or have a handful with warm water early in the morning<\/li>\n<li>Have about 100 ml of <strong>palak juice<\/strong> (spinach) mixed with an equal quantity of water twice daily<\/li>\n<li>Mix 2-3 <strong>sunflower seeds<\/strong>, a <strong>few flaxseeds, sesame seeds and almonds.<\/strong> Ground them together to a fine powder. Have one tablespoon of this mixture every day, for a week or add it to your salad or cereal<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.1mg.com\/online-consultation\/speciality\">Consult a doctor<\/a> if your constipation lasts for more than two weeks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-613 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/1mgarticles.files.wordpress.com\/2015\/09\/rsz_constipation.jpg?w=300\" alt=\"order medicines online\" width=\"667\" height=\"389\" title=\"Fight Constipation in 9 Simple Ways\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[114,116],"class_list":["post-607","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-eat-well","tag-gastro-intestinal","tag-gastrointestinal-disorders"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>9 Simple Ways to Relieve Constipation and Stay Healthy - Tata 1mg Capsules<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Constipation means having less than three bowel movements per week.
