In these days peoples are living in a changing environment because of the difficult to lead this lifestyle no one can escape from stress. Some of the changing activities like inactive physical work, irregular bowel movement, eating in a hurry, delaying the bowel movement for some reasons among others can lead to digestion problem that results to stress and finally constipation.

Stress causing constipation
bowel movement changes from country to country but most people have at-least one bowel movement a day. At-least 3 times a week according research but irregular bowel movement can lead to stress and this stress affects the intestinal tracts and causes digestion problem. People now-a-days do not lead an active physical life like no exercise , unplanned meals, lack of sleep or irregular sleeping hours, low water intake, unhealthy foods like fast food, soda, fat and meat, very few intakes of vegetables, grains and water. All this results in stress causing constipation. This often stress of certain period may cause incontinent backache
