"I suffer from chronic constipation, what can I do?"

Increasing your fiber intake through fruits, vegetables, and whole grains can help soften your stools and improve your constipation. It is also recommended to engage in moderate intensity physical activity for at least 30 minutes a day to help with intestinal transit. If necessary, using a laxative like Lax-A-Day can provide relief. Probiotics may be worth trying, although their effectiveness is not guaranteed. As for vitamins, if you have a varied and fruit and vegetable-rich diet, they may not provide additional benefits for your immune system. Basic hygiene measures such as social distancing and frequent handwashing are effective in preventing illness.
