If you’re straining on the toilet or going days without a bowel movement, forcing it isn’t the answer — your body is designed to go naturally, and when it’s not happening, there’s usually a missing signal rather than a broken system. There’s a simple bedtime habit that works with your body’s natural rhythm instead of against it. (Based on the insights of Dr. Alan Mandell)

Not a medical doctor, but he's making good money on YouTube and Facebook with his "motivationadoc".

Are you going to post his wisdom from now on more often ??😳

The article said: “Eat 3–5 prunes before bed with plenty of water.”

Excellent advice—so I went to Lotus and bought a whole box labelled PRUNE.

Unfortunately, I appear to have purchased the fresh, juicy, slow-release formulation. The concentrated, shrivelled medicine was apparently sold in another department.

Fortunately, I still have 30 ml of Hepalac for emergencies. 😄

You mean dried plums, prunes is American slang

If by "before bed" you mean at dinner?

Sure why not.

Anytime, except < 12-13 hours before breakfast.

Prune is the French word for dried plums. It was a French man called Louis Pellier who introduced Aden Prunes to California. during the gold rush.

Prunes are indeed very good, but they're so expensive here. My very effective solution to this problem is Vistra DT Daily Fiber 7000, available from Lazada and Shopee. One sachet every morning.
