Constipation -- A common problem for seniors
Nobody wants to talk about being constipated, but it’s an issue that many older adults and caregivers have to deal with.To Prevent Constipation:
* Eat high-fiber foods such as raisins, raw vegetables, salads, bran cereals, whole-grain bread and fresh fruit.* Eat prunes or figs.
* Drink plenty of liquids—at least eight glasses a day.
* Use laxatives
* Do daily exercise, like a brisk half-hour walk.
