Constipation might seem minor, but ignoring it can be dangerous—even deadly. One young woman went over two weeks without a bowel movement. Her colon became so distended it pressed against her chest, risking organ damage.
Chronic constipation can lead to colon dysfunction, toxin buildup, hemorrhoids, bowel obstruction, and even increased cancer risk.
Prevention is simple: eat more fiber (fruits, veggies, seeds), drink plenty of water, stay active, and avoid processed foods. Establish a regular bathroom routine and don’t ignore the urge to go.
If symptoms last over a week or include pain, bloating, or bleeding—see a doctor.
Constipation is your body warning you. Don’t wait until it’s too late. Small daily choices can protect your long-term health.
