Transcript
00:00If you've been feeling slower in the bathroom lately, you're not alone.
00:04Constipation is extremely common after 60.
00:07And the good news is, with a few gentle shifts, your body can feel light and regular again.
00:13As we age, our digestive muscles naturally weaken.
00:17We produce less stomach acid and move less.
00:21These factors slow down bowel movement.
00:23It's not your fault. It's a change in your body's rhythm.
00:26You may feel bloated, heavy after meals, or like you don't empty fully.
00:31You might even go fewer times per week.
00:34These signs are your body asking for a little more support.
00:37Warm water is one of the simplest yet powerful constipation relievers.
00:42Drink a warm cup first thing in the morning.
00:44It gently wakes up your digestive muscles.
00:47After 60, the digestive system needs soft fiber, not rough fiber.
00:52Try oatmeal, chia seeds, berries, or soft cooked veggies.
00:57These support regularity without irritating your gut.
01:00Many seniors drink too little water or drink most of it late in the day.
01:05Sip water steadily throughout the day to help fiber do its job effectively.
01:10Movement is medicine for constipation.
01:12A gentle 10-15 minute walk after meals signals your intestines to get moving.
01:17It's one of your most effective tools.
01:19A gentle clockwise belly massage encourages bowel movement.
01:24Try circular motions in the morning or before bed.
01:28This can work surprisingly well.
01:30The gut bacteria naturally shift with age.
01:33Yogurt, kefir, or probiotic foods help restore balance and support smoother digestion.
01:38Your body loves rhythm.
01:42Try sitting on the toilet at the same time each morning, even if nothing happens.
01:48This retrains your bowels over time.
01:50If constipation lasts more than a couple of weeks or comes with pain or bleeding, talk to your doctor.
01:56This ensures you feel safe and supported.
02:00Constipation doesn't have to control your day.
02:03With consistency, gentle habits, and kindness toward your body, your digestion can feel smooth, natural, and free again.
