Answer 1

Interesting question !!

Constipation is common among people in western countries who eat more meat and processed foods because there is no enough roughage in their bodies which prevents constipation .

Fruits and vegetables like corn etc contains lot of roughage .

Actually according to classical Ayurveda, every illness is the cause of our eating habits. Western and specially American diets are composed on highly refined flour, sugar and meat. This makes it difficult for body to digest and absorb these foods and their nutrients in our body.
