We are all aware that the root cause of all diseases is in our digestive system. Healthy bacteria are produced in the intestine to help digestion and help the body to fight against infections because healthy intestines absorb essential nutrition in the body which provides you energy / stamina, better immunity, etc. 

Suppose a person having constipation or incomplete emptying of the digested food that get stored in large intestine where it loses its natural softness, it creates toxins in the intestines and results in the formation of hard stool, bloating, pain in abdomen etc. It's just the beginning, with time it creates many health issues like high cholesterol, hyperacidity, piles, other health issues, etc. 

To live life healthy, you must make your intestine healthy and fit! Here are 6 choices you can make to ensure you have healthy bowel movement on a regular basis:

1) Eat healthy and fresh food

Always prefer fresh cooked food (eat within maximum of 45 minutes from ready) depending on seasons. Eat fruits immediately after cutting them. After some times it loses its nutritional values and becomes stale food which creates bloating, indigestion, pain in abdomen etc.

2) Water drinking during meal

Sipping little water during meals is good for digestion, it even betters while consuming dry food items in meals.

3) Yoga and exercise to improve digestion

Exercise or yoga like Pawanmuktasana and Vajrasana helps in healthy bowel movement by improving circulation and removing excessive pressure on abdomen.

4) Eat food on time

You must fix the timing of your meals according to lifestyle / job profile. Make sure that the first meal i.e breakfast is heavy and dinner is light. We recommend 3 proper meals a day.

5) Food  and lifestyle

Wash your hands before starting meals. Always take meals in sitting position only. Hygiene and ambience must be good and clean. A meal is complete when it contains sweet, salty, bitter, spicy, sour and astringent tasting foods in the right proportion. Do not forget to rinse your mouth with water after every meal and if needed, use dental floss too.

6) Don't fight the urge

Suppression or avoiding natural urges creates misbalance of digestive system which leads to different problems like bloating, pain, discomfort etc.
