Constipation may be experienced due to irritable bowel movements, excessive use of laxatives, too much worry, anxiety, fear, sedentary life stack or the lack of physical activity and problems with intestinal function (chronic idiopathic constipation). However, the most common causes of constipation are a diet low in fiber or a diet that is high in fats, such as cheese, eggs, and meat.

It is traditionally provided in Indian cuisine after each meal. It is also found in many commercial colon cleanse products.
Guava and papaya included in a fruit salad, and eaten on a regular basis, can go far as a constipation remedy both in prevention and treatment. Fruits like guava and papaya are made by nature and are a perfect food. They contain the right balance of nutrients with distilled water.
Exercise
Exercise, or the lack thereof, is seen as a cause of constipation. It is believed thatthat without regular exercise the metabolic rate slows, which means a longer digestive cycle and thus less regular bowel movement. Among other reasons the fact is, the longer the stool spends in your digestive system, the more water is excreted from the stool, which results in a harder stool which is harder and even painful to pass.
Colon Cleanse
A good commercial colon cleanse will usually be plant based and will support intestinal detoxification with a combination of bulk fibers, natural laxative-like compounds, etc. For instance Psyllium husk and pectins supply essential fiber to the digestive tract, while herbs like Slippery Elm bark, Cascara Sagrada, and Marshmallow powder promote natural flushing in the colon.
Finally, bad eating habits , lack of sufficient water intake etc., eventually lead to the constipation of the bowels, and essentially the entire system. Therefore by instituting lifestyle changes, and maybe even including some of the constipation remedies discussed here, you can see relief from constipation.
