Proper DIET
Dietary measures such as increasing fiber intake from whole-wheat grains, fresh fruits, vegetables and bran may help add bulk to the stool, thus promoting normal bowel movements. Special efforts should be made toward increasing the daily intake of fluids.

Exercise is important to strengthen the abdominal muscles and to help with the digestion process. Movement, particularly waist and leg movement help to mix the food and waste products in your intestines which aides digestion. Massage may also be helpful.
