Apart from regular water intake, it is also advisable to add high-fiber foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, beans, nuts, and seeds to your diet. Fiber adds bulk to stool, softening it and easing its passage through the digestive tract, which helps prevent and alleviate constipation.

It also promotes regular bowel movements by supporting healthy digestion and maintaining gut health.
