This health video provides ten comprehensive natural strategies to overcome constipation and maintain a healthy digestive system, emphasizing the importance of the “gut-brain axis.” Dr. Jumana Haseen suggests practical lifestyle changes such as chewing food thoroughly, drinking adequate water based on body weight, and incorporating high-fiber foods like leafy greens, spinach, and whole fruits instead of juices. The video recommends incorporating probiotics from yogurt or buttermilk to boost healthy gut bacteria and highlights specific remedies like drinking warm water with a teaspoon of ghee every morning or using “agar” (China grass) as a natural lubricant. Additionally, it advises avoiding processed flour (maida) and bakery items, taking a 10-minute walk after meals, and using a footstool in western toilets to mimic a more natural squatting position. The doctor also notes that while chronic constipation can lead to conditions like piles, fissures, or fistulas, persistent issues accompanied by weight loss or painless bleeding in older adults should be medically investigated through tests like colonoscopies to rule out more serious concerns.
