in the most extreme cases you can get bowel perforation and death.
For most people, though, prevention is easy and cheap. Drink enough water, make sure
you get out for some regular exercise, don't eat lots of meat or processed foods, do eat
lots of vegetables and fruits.
I do understand that, for some of us, this is quite radical and involves some basic habit
re-
training. And I'm not forgetting the "food deserts", often in poor areas, where fresh food
can be hard to find.
But, as they say, an apple a day keeps the doctor away. And, in my experience, it does
this
pretty well!
