Lifestyle
Regular Exercise
for Constipation
Daily moderate exercise — particularly walking — to stimulate intestinal motility and regulate bowel habits.
How it works
Physical movement accelerates colonic transit time by stimulating the gastrocolic reflex and increasing intestinal muscle contractions.
What to watch for
Even moderate activity such as a 30-minute daily walk is effective. Most beneficial for people who are currently sedentary.
