"Making the right choices in your diet is your best assurance of keeping your digestive system running smoothly," said David Grotto, registered dietitian and author of "101 Optimal Life Foods."

 
Using these tips will have you well on your way to staying healthy and regular.

2) Establish an Eating "Routine." Eat regular meals to help promote consistent tbowel movement .

3) Eat Small, More Frequent Meals. Aim for 4-5 small meals per day versus 2-3 large meals.
