Constipation is a term used most often to refer to the slowing of intestinal transit (less than 3 bowel movements per week), associated with a decrease in the number of stools passed, a somewhat hard consistency, and difficulty passing the stools.
Some tips to reduce constipation:
- Keep well hydrated (1.5 to 2 liters a day, preferably water)
- Move, walk
- Eat fiber (green salad, fruit, vegetables, cereals, etc.)
