THE BEST WAY TO MOVE YOUR BOWELS.

1. DRINK MORE WATER
Drinking water is one of the best ways to get your bowels moving. Make it a habit of carrying a bottle of water around every day. (please, do not substitute soft drinks or juice for water). Sometimes we think we are hungry whereas we are just thirsty. Drink at least 2 glasses of warm water first thing in the morning before using the toilet / restroom.


                                                                     
2. EAT LOTS OF FRUITS, VEGETABLES & GRAINS
I know fruits, vegetables and grains don't come cheap, but eat as much as you can afford.
Eating plenty of fruits, vegetables & grains daily means a lower incidence of obesity, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, colon & prostate cancer, osteoporosis and more. They also help to keep you lean and full of energy.



3. EXERCISE FOR AT LEAST 30 MINS DAILY
Getting more physical activity helps your metabolism.
Choose the exercise you enjoy doing. It could be indoor or outdoor. As long as you workout at least 3 times a week.



The colon (bowel) is designed to collect and hold wastes, but only for a while. If it is not emptied regularlly, it starts to resemble a back-up sewage which can lead to constipation. Hence, we have to ensure we move it regularlly.

If you ignore the urge to have a bowel movement, you'll eventually stop feeling the need to have one, and this can lead to constipation.

For me I have bowel movement 2-3 times daily. Once I get up from bed in the morning, I do 50-100 sit ups / crunches (before my regular exercise), drink 2 glasses of warm water, then go to the restroom. (Try it, it's great).

Please, share how you move your bowel in the morning.
