To have good bowel movements, the following should be done -

2. Drink lot fluids

3. Adequate physical activity is also important. 30 minutes of brisk walking may be done everyday.

Check blood glucose levels and also check your thyroid status as diabetes and hypothyroidism are some of common causes of constipation.
