Constipación

( In English: Constipation )

A veces, la materia fecal (eso que se encuentra dentro de los intestinos y llamamos "caca") puede ser dura y seca. Sí, esto es bastante asqueroso, pero no es bueno que te ocurra con frecuencia. Una manera de combatir la constipación es comer más fibras (presentes en las frutas, las verduras y otros alimentos), así como tomar más agua y jugos. Debes avisarles a tus padres si tu materia fecal es dura y seca, si te cuesta evacuarla o si no tienes evacuaciones a menudo. Tus padres pueden llevarte al médico para que te ayude.
