The most important thing to do as part of your natural solutions to constipation is to drink plenty of water every day. If you need to, put some lemon or lime or cucumber slices or strawberries or any other natural flavor.
How much do you need?
About 1/2 your body weight in ounces.
Coffee and tea don't count, in fact they are diuretics which means that like alcohol they deplete the body of fluids.
For every cup of coffee, tea or alcoholic drink you have increase your water intake by 1 and 1/2 cups.
