Constipation is not something we think much about until it has some impact on our life. However, it affects us and our well-being in so many ways we do need to know a little more about it. In the early days we hunted for our food and that gave motility to our colon as well as furnishing us with natural food. Today with processed food and for the most part with little or no exercise our digestive system has gone into an unhealthy slow down mode. Modern medicine hasn’t done much to correct the problem other than offering stimulants to help make things work.
