Song Yanren, a famous weight loss doctor, said that food is a source of energy, but not everything we eat can be broken down. If it cannot be excreted smoothly, it will accumulate in the body. People who are prone to constipation and irregular bowel movements are more likely to be obese.

Some people who have been troubled by constipation for a long time complain that they need to rely on medication to successfully expel the old stool. But medicine is medicine, it can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause.
