Is constipation a life hazardous ? i use lactofibre powder in warm water every day. is it good?

It could be: What you are taking is OK , but you are training your bowels and yourself to be lazy and take a short cut that might have bad consequences on long time. You need to adjust your eating habit by drinking a lot of water , and juices and avoid energy drinks and sodas. You need to eat more fruits and vegetables ,and fibers , exercise by simple walking daily regardless how fit you are.add stool softener
