• Drink 2-4 extra cups of water per day,
• Try warm liquids, especially in the morning.
• Add fruits and vegetables to the diet.
• Eat plum, bran, lettuce and cucumber.
• Exercise light most days of the week. When you move the body, the muscles of the bowel movement also become easier.
• You can try taking a laxative, such as 5mg dulcolax
