Not everyone has the same experiences when it comes to going \u201cnumber two.\u201d Some people regularly eliminate without strain, while others struggle to go once or three times a week. In case you aren\u2019t aware, you should be having one to three bowel movements every single day. This frequency tells you that your digestive system is functioning like it should<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes you go to the restroom and you sit on the toilet, straining to get something out. You are usually left with an unsatisfactory bowel movement<\/a>. Medications, IBS, depression, or even pregnancy can result in constipation. There are natural remedies, however, that you can use to make using the restroom a regular experience.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Probiotics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Probiotics<\/a> deliver good bacteria to your digestive tract. Good bacteria already exists in the digestive system, but certain foods may increase the amount of bad bacteria, which can inhibit healthy digestion. Probiotics such as sauerkraut, fermented vegetables, kombucha, or kimchi actually help to move food through your intestines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bowel Training<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is a real thing, people. If you struggle with frequency, you may need to train your body to poop. The best way to do this is to try and use the restroom when you wake up or after you finish eating; the digestive tract is most active at these times. And don\u2019t put off going to restroom if you feel the urge. This can make things worse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chew Your Food<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Some people don\u2019t thoroughly chew their food, which makes more work for the digestive system. Additionally, chewing your food<\/a> slowly and thoroughly helps to keep you from overeating because you aren\u2019t inhaling your food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Squat, Don\u2019t Sit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You don\u2019t have to go out and buy the Squatty Potty; rather, you can use phone books to elevate your feet about four to six inches off the ground. The squatting position straightens your passageway, whereas sitting creates a slight pinch in the rectum, making it more difficult to pass stool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drink More Water<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Water may just be the key ingredient you need to normalize your bowel movements. Most people don\u2019t drink enough water<\/a>, which means that your digestive tract isn\u2019t sufficiently lubricated. Keep drinking water to keep going to the bathroom.<\/p>\n
