4. Get more exercise
Studies have found that people who are inactive are more prone to constipation. Basically, when you aren’t active, your stool is less likely to pass through your system regularly, and you could literally become backed up.
When this happens, your stools will become hard, which will make them more difficult to pass, and could make you strain to push them out.
If you want to ease your constipation, increase your activity levels. You don’t have to do anything strenuous; walking, swimming, or riding a bike could help to get things flowing and ease your constipation.
