Part II - Constipation Help

Health Tip - Constipation Solutions

Remember!
The common cause of Constipation is a diet low in fiber and high in fat.

Fiber both Soluble and Insoluble is the part of fruits, vegetables and grains that the body cannot digest.  

     Fiber Grains : healthy breakfast with cereal and fruits        Fiber Grains : Healthy muesli in a white bowl and apple over white background        Banana : some organic banana slices in natural yoghurt
            

Soluble fiber dissolves easily in water and takes on a soft, gel-like texture in the intestines.

Fiber Grains : Closeup on pile of organic whole grain wheat kernels and ears


Insoluble fiber passes through the intestines almost unchanged. The bulk and soft texture of fiber help prevent hard, dry stools that are difficult to pass.
