Healthy Bowel Habits Maintaining healthy bowel habits can support digestive and colorectal health. Eating a fibre-rich diet, drinking adequate water, staying physically active, avoiding prolonged sitting, and avoiding excessive straining during bowel movements are simple habits that can support regular bowel movements. If you notice persistent changes in bowel habits, discomfort, bleeding, swelling, or other symptoms, it is important to seek appropriate medical evaluation rather than ignoring them.
