Constipation in women
Constipation in women
So many women suffer from digestive difficulties. Unfortunately, many suffer in silence. Talking about constipation is neither pleasant nor exciting... However, it is a subject that must be talked about to improve women's health and well-being. Healthy intestines and active intestinal transit are essential for good general health.
Several factors can lead to constipation
- Less-than-healthy eating habits
- Lack of exercise
- Changes in routine
- Not giving yourself enough time when going to the toilet
- Inappropriate position on the toilet
Not sure if you're constipated? Ask yourself these questions: How long is your intestinal transit? Are your stools hard, dry or rough? Do you have difficulty passing them or are they painful when leaving?

Some tips to prevent constipation
- Add foods high in fiber, such as legumes, vegetables, fruits and whole grains. Fiber increases the volume of stools, facilitating and accelerating their transit.
- Add fermented foods, like ferments, kombucha, kefir, and tempeh. Fermented foods contain probiotic bacteria that are beneficial for gut health.
- Eat less processed or refined foods. These tend to contain less fiber and nutrients.
- Drink enough water to keep the colon hydrated.
- Add an exercise routine to your day. Exercise, such as a simple walk, helps stimulate the natural muscular contractions of the colon, thus improving transit.
- Learn to manage your stress well.
- Make sure you have enough time and privacy when going to the bathroom. Procrastinating or being in too much of a hurry sends the wrong signal to your body. Your cravings will become less and less frequent, leading to a problem of constipation.
- Find yourself a comfortable and suitable elimination position. The most natural position is the squat, where the knees are higher than the hips. To do it, place your feet on a small bench when you are sitting on the toilet.
- Establish a routine. Eating and sleeping at regular times will help your body greatly, and not just to prevent constipation.
Stop suffering in silence, you are not alone! Talk to your doctor or pharmacist and try Renew Life natural products.
