3. Constipation
Constipation is when a person is unable to pass stool, or is unable to move their bowel. This causes a buildup of stool (aka poop) in the colon. When stool builds up, they harbor bacteria, which create gases and odors, and when the gases build up, they find their way out just as smelly as when they were inside.
Constipation can happen for a number of different reasons. The most common reasons are that the person lacks fiber in their diet, and has too little water in their digestive system. This being the case, the solution to constipation seems quite simple: eat more fiber, drink more water. There are also a variety of over-the-counter laxatives available (medication to make you poop) in the market. Interestingly, exercise and physical activity have also been studied to help prevent or alleviate constipation.
