I was talking to a friend the other day when she told me about a problem she was having regarding a subject that many people would prefer not to talk about, namely constipation. I’m sure why we find it difficult to approach this subject but that’s the way some people are, I guess they just feel this is a private matter between them and their doctor.

Personally I think this is rubbish and if we could talk about things more free, so to speak, we would have less of a problem as we might discover the way to prevent such things. I have never had constipation myself but then I know all to well what constitutes a good diet and eat plenty of the right things and very little that would lead to such problems.

If people would only learn to eat large amounts of fruit, vegetables and whole grains then we would be on the way to eradicating this uncomfortable problem for good, throw in a little exercise and plenty of water and we would all be in better health in general. If we could only do these things, but most of us are not willing to put in any effort to improve our health and so we turn to such things as over the counter constipation medication from the drug store in the hope they will alleviate the problem. Maybe they do work for a while but you can be sure that the constipation will return soon enough if you don’t change your ways.
