1. Did you know that 75% of our feces is... water?

That's right. And I 'still' don't drink enough water (that includes coffee, tea) despite knowing that.

I've read/ watched many different sources on the 'amount' we need ton consume so I'm not going to state anything definitive here... Please do your own research on this...

2. Exercise.

You know that one, I'm sure.

3. Fiber.

I just found a new product to make sure I'm getting enough fiber. I haven't tried it yet but you can check out the fantastic reviews on Amazon for:

Yerba Prima Psyllium Husk, just $12.59

4. Massage your tummy

Before getting out of bed when I wake up... I'll grab one of the two... big... portable massagers in my bed. I rest one of them (low speed) for 15 minutes on my tummy. I did that this morning and could not get to '15' minutes! I had to jump out of bed and head to the 'White Throne.'

$89 on Amazon but you'll find the exact same one on eBay for $30 bucks less.

5. Situps!

This one I thought of myself! If the 'massage' is recommended by several health websites...

Then... why not ... situps!

What I like about this one (and i shopped VERY HARD) ... it is ... a) very easy to setup ... took me less than an hour and the simple assembly tool is included) ... b) has an adjustable back so, for starters, I'm only doing 'half situps' like you see in the photo below.

I'm up to 120 situps daily! (6 sets of 20 reps ... divided a few hours apart).

Have I won the 'War on Constipation'?

Not yet... but I've won a few battles!

Just $85 on Amazon

3. Fiber

The right nutrition is perhaps more important here. The MIND diet seems like a very good choice, also for the further approach of PD.
