Constipation is a common digestive problem where bowel movements become infrequent or difficult, often causing stomach discomfort, cramps, and pain. Baba Ramdev, a renowned yoga guru and Ayurvedic expert, emphasizes the importance of proper eating habits and natural remedies for relief without medication.

According to Baba Ramdev, one major cause of constipation is eating too quickly without chewing food properly, which hampers digestion and nutrient absorption. To improve bowel health, he advises eating slowly, chewing food well, and allowing sufficient gaps between meals — 30 minutes between lunch and dinner and 15-20 minutes after breakfast.

Baba Ramdev recommends consuming fiber-rich fruits like guava, papaya, and apples (with peel) on an empty stomach to aid digestion and relieve constipation. He also suggests soaking 10-15 raisins and 3-5 figs in warm water before eating, which not only softens stools but also boosts hemoglobin.

He cautions against oily, heavy foods and processed snacks like Maggi, biscuits, and chocolates, which can worsen constipation and cause gas. As a yogic remedy, practicing Kapalbhati Pranayama daily helps stimulate digestion, reduce stress, and improve overall wellbeing.

Healthy digestion signs include hunger at regular intervals, no gas accumulation, timely bowel movements, and absence of stomach heaviness. By following these Ayurvedic and yogic tips, one can effectively alleviate constipation and maintain digestive health naturally.
