And yes, you can easily take a laxative as a safe remedy. But if constipation occurs regularly and you’re still relying on laxatives, these laxatives can lead to some really bad health issues as they cause electrolyte disturbances, dehydration, and mineral deficiencies.

WATER – to prevent dehydration and help to keep food waste soft and moving easily through your digestive system.
