Main recommendations:

  1. Chew your food thoroughly and avoid drinking it during and immediately after meals (the first course is food). About 60% of your diet should consist of vegetables, fruits, and bran. Watch for separate meals and perform a colon cleanse at least 1-2 times a year.

  2. Master the technique of belly breathing.

  3. Strengthen your abdominal and back muscles with exercises, including "walking on your buttocks."

  4. Use a stool that is 15-20 cm high. Sitting on a chair, place your feet on the stool, which allows your thighs to pull up to your belly. This is called the "eagle pose" - a natural position for bowel movements. As you exhale and start to push, your belly presses against your thighs, which facilitates the process. After defecation, without changing position, do 30-50 pushes, which helps normalize the function of internal organs.
