Constipation can be a miserable thing. You want to make sure that your digestive system functions at its best. When you eat right and stay hydrated it helps to avoid constipation in the first place.
Constipation & Health
Why does it plague me
What should come to pass so easily
What goes in must come out
Is easier said than done
My colon is where things are stored
And the final processing of food occurs
About two feet long
And big enough to hold
A few days of happenings
When things are working properly
It needs no thought
Nothing except that occasionally
A portion at the end needs moved out
It begins on my right side at the appendix
Ascends a few inches and transverses
All the way across to my left side
And then descends to my rectum
The reason it crosses my midsection
May be to get aid from my physical activity
Walking, bending, breathing or raising an arm
All these movements massages the colon
And helps to keep things moving along
If the call of nature isn’t answered
To eliminate some of the movement
The colon will expand
And the
bowel movement
Will have effectively taken place
This job may be accomplished
Several times a day
As some experts say
Or less often will do
But a pattern should be set
We will talk later
About food and
water
