Many people experience constipation from time to time. Not only is it uncomfortable, but it can also lead to numerous health complications when ignored. If you are feeling backed up, though, you are not alone. According to a 2020 study, 15% of the world\u2019s population reported constipation. Knowing that you\u2019re not alone doesn\u2019t take care of the problem, but that\u2019s where the drinks in this article come to the rescue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What Is Constipation?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
According to health experts, a person is constipated if they experience three or fewer bowel movements per week. Trouble passing stools or not fully eliminating are also common signs of the condition. It\u2019s a normal digestive problem that a lot of people have, but the symptoms vary from person to person. Common symptoms of constipation can include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Infrequent bowel movements<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Hard or lumpy stools<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Straining to empty bowels<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Feeling blocked up (or like you can\u2019t fully empty the bowels)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
An April 2013 analysis assessed the diets and stool consistency of more than 9,000 adults. The results indicated that insufficient liquid intake was a primary contributing factor to constipation. That means that staying hydrated with water and other fluids can help smooth things out for regular elimination. It\u2019s very common for people to neglect water intake, though. As a general recommendation, drink half your body weight in ounces of water for optimal hydration<\/a>. If you weigh 150 pounds and divide that by two to get 75, you should drink 75 ounces of water per day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
