10 Ways to Get and Stay Regular

1. Eat the rainbow

Fill your plate with fiber-rich fruits and veggies.

2. Limit processed foods

Avoid packaged, fried, and refined foods that can slow digestion and harden stools.

3. Hydrate! 

Experts recommend drinking half your body weight in ounces daily. (Example: 160 lbs = drink 80 oz) Adding electrolytes (look for sugar-free options) can also help you stay hydrated.

4. Move your body 

Take a walk or stretch after meals. Make regular exercise part of your daily routine. 

5. Relax!

Stress, anxiety, even travel can cause constipation. Mediation, deep breathing, and massage can help you get back in your zone. 

6. Don’t ignore the urge to go 

Listen to your body and make time for a bathroom break when nature calls. 

7. Take your time eating 

Slow down and chew your food! Also, limit snacking to help your body switch to "clean up” mode between meals.

8. Add probiotics 

Eat fermented foods and supplement with a broad-spectrum probiotic like Proflora® 4R.

9. Reset your gut 

A microbiome detox can help eliminate toxins, restore good bacteria, and support a healthy gut lining – all of which promote regularity.

10. Avoid habit-forming laxatives 

Supplement instead with gentle, natural formulas like Motility Assist™.
