National Nutrition Month is a nutrition education and information campaign sponsored annually by the American Dietetic Association (ADA). The March campaign, now in its fifth year, is designed to focus attention on making informed food choices and developing sound eating and exercise habits.
The health guidelines for National Nutrition Month help the public make better choices which could help reduce the risk for some chronic diseases, including cancer.
To accomplish this goal, the ADA recommends that people:
Aim for fitness - exercise at least 30 minutes a day, five or more days a week
Build a healthy base - follow national dietary guidelines
Choose foods sensibly
In regard to choosing healthy foods, people are encouraged to:
Drink skim milk
Eat five to seven servings of fruit and vegetables each day
Eat lean meats
Drink eight 8-ounce glasses of water a day
Choose foods made with little or no added fats or creams
Bake or broil foods instead of frying
Drink beverages and eat foods containing little or no sugar
Prepare foods with less salt (limit fast foods)
Limit fast foods
Drink in moderation if they drink alcohol
For more information about these and other dietary questions, the ADA encourages people to ask their physicians to refer them to a dietician who can assess their individual nutritional needs.

Eat foods with a lot of fiber. Also there is an over the counter gelcap you can buy very reasonably called "Ducolax". It is not a laxative but will give you softer stools. making "things go easier".

FIBER....fresh fruits and vegtables. Leafy greens..I like to eat spinach salads and a few prunes for a light lunch and I will never have a problem. You can eat whole grains too.

Assuming you are healthy otherwise, eat more fiber and drink more water.
