Role of Dietary Fibre and fluid Intake on Constipation Relief

Constipation is a common gastrointestinal disorder characterized by infrequent bowel movements, hardstools, and difficulty in defecation. Dietary habits, particularly low fibre intake and inadequate fluidconsumption are major contributing factors. This paper explains the physiological role of dietary fibreand fluids in bowel regulation and highlights their combined importance in preventing and relievingconstipation. Evidence suggests that adequate intake of fibre along with sufficient fluids improves stoolbulk consistency and intestinal motility, making them primary non-pharmacological interventions forconstipation management.
