Now, one expert advises that a hot drink could solve the problem. This is because hot beverages such as coffee, tea - or even a cup of hot water - stimulate the bowel, easing constipation. Dr Felice Schnoll-Sussman, a gastroenterologist at the Weill Medical College of Cornell University, US, said hot drinks widen blood vessels, aiding digestion.
Water is important for your digestion. It keeps the food you eat moving along through your intestines and it keeps your intestines smooth and flexible, too. Dehydration is one of the most common causes of chronic constipation. The food you eat makes its way from your stomach to the large intestine, or colon. If you donât have enough water in your body already -- if you're dehydrated -- the large intestine soaks up water from your food waste. This makes hard stools that are difficult to pass.
