How can we promote healthy and regular stools?
Good bowel movement is based on a suitable diet and a healthy lifestyle. Here are some tips to improve your digestion:
- Increase your fibre intake: 25 g per day for women and 38 g for men. Give preference to fruit, vegetables and whole grains.
- Hydrate yourself sufficiently: at least 1.5 to 2 litres of water per day to avoid constipation.
- Integrate probiotics: present in yogurts, kefir and fermented foods, they help to balance the intestinal flora.
- Exercise: Regular physical activity stimulates the intestines and reduces stress, often responsible for digestive disorders.
Pay attention to your body’s signals: don’t hold back the urge to go to the toilet, it can make constipation worse.

If you notice any of the following symptoms, it is recommended that you consult a healthcare professional:
