Constipation is one of the most common digestive complaints, but it doesn’t just happen out of nowhere. “Not drinking enough water, feeling stressed, taking certain medications, changes in altitude, slower digestion and not moving enough can all contribute,” explains EA Stewart, RDN. On top of that, many adults don’t meet their daily fiber needs—a key driver for keeping poops regular.

While reversing some of these habits is a step in the right direction, small tweaks can help too—like shaking up your snack choices.
