Accepted Answer

Hydration and fiber: Constipation can frequently be relieved with increased dietary fiber and drinking plenty of water.  One of the colon's primary jobs is to reabsorb water from the stool before it is excreted.  If you are not drinking enough water the stool can become dry and hard, leading to constipation.  Fruits and vegetables are a good source of dietary fiber.
