What is the cause of constipation?

Hypothyroidism: The thyroid gland – An under-active thyroid or hypothyroidism is one of the reasons for constipation and weight gain.

Unhealthy diet: This is one of the major causes of chronic constipation in adults. Not eating on time and consuming processed foods and refined food products as a diet causes constipation.

Not drinking enough water: Dehydration causes constipation. 75% of the body is made up of water. Water helps to keep the stool soft and moves the bowel movement forward. When you don’t drink enough water, the intestines absorb more water and this makes the stool hard and dry.
