Why Fiber Matters: A Natural Fix For Constipation
Constipation is more common in Malaysia than many realise, affecting people of all ages and often disrupting comfort, mood, and confidence in daily life. It’s defined as having fewer than three bowel movements a week, often with hard, dry stools and straining. About 1 in 7 older adults live with chronic constipation, and younger people are not spared. In fact, around 1 in 10 Malaysians are thought to have Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), with many experiencing the constipation-predominant type, known as IBS-C. The good news is that with the right types of fiber, enough fluids, and simple daily habits, bowel health can often be improved naturally — helping you feel lighter, healthier, and more in control.
