To help relieve irregularity and constipation, look for magnesium citrate in the form of a saline oral laxative solution. These are available over-the-counter and can be found in most supermarkets and drugstores. Different brands of laxative will have slightly different instructions, so read the back of the bottle carefully before taking any medicine. Pay special attention to how many doses the bottle contains, how often you should take it, and the amount recommended for people your age. Read any listed warnings before taking the laxative. If necessary, consult a doctor prior to use. Laxative solutions require a significant amount of liquid to work, meaning they can cause dehydration when used improperly. To avoid this, take your laxative with a full, 8 fluid ounces (240 ml) glass of water. After use, make sure to keep yourself hydrated throughout the day. Laxatives should be used to fix occasional irregularity, not long-term bowel problems. To keep your bowels strong and healthy, do not use laxatives for over 7 days at a time. If your constipation symptoms remain for longer than a week, stop taking magnesium citrate and consult your doctor immediately.

Summary: Purchase an oral laxative. Take the amount recommended on the bottle. Take each dose with 8 fluid ounces (240 ml) of water. Use laxatives sparingly to keep your bowels strong.


Unlike a brush, which works to loosen food particles and bacteria from the crevices in your tongue, a scraper can actually be used to remove this unwanted material from your mouth.  If you have a particularly strong gag reflex, a tongue scraper may be the right tongue cleaner for you. Check the size of your tongue in a mirror in order to find the right sized cleaner. A wide tongue scraper can clean the tongue in fewer strokes. A smaller scraper is suitable for older children and smaller tongues while a wider-angled scraper is ideal for adults. The average tongue is approximately four inches long, and chances are that your tongue is around that length. Because it has a lower profile, a tongue scraper is less likely to trigger a gag reflex, even if you have a small tongue or short tongue. Tongue scrapers can be made of plastic, or a more durable material such as stainless steel or copper. The type of material you choose for your tongue scraper will determine how long you should keep the scraper and how you should clean the scraper.  Tongue scrapers that are made out of plastic should be thrown away routinely because they are more likely to harbor germs. Stainless steel tongue scrapers can be easily sterilized with boiling water or antibacterial solutions, but they can be more expensive. Stainless steel or copper tongue scrapers are relatively easy to keep germ free with the proper care.  Pick a plastic tongue scraper if you have a sensitive tongue. They tend to be gentler on the tongue than metal scrapers. If you aren’t interested in buying a specialized tongue scraper, you can use an inverted spoon.  Hold the spoon so that the tip is facing the back of your throat and the concave part of the spoon is facing toward the surface of your tongue. Press the tip of the spoon into the back of your tongue, and drag it along the surface of your tongue until you reach the front. Rinse any debris off the spoon and repeat the scraping motion across the rest of the surface of your tongue.

Summary: Choose a tongue scraper to remove food particles and bacteria. Determine the size of your tongue. Select the best material for your tongue scraper. Use an inverted spoon.

to raise your spirits. Take 10 to 15 minutes to stretch when you wake up and before you go to bed. Develop a routine and stretch your legs, back, and arms. Stretching regularly can energize your body, increase blood flow to your muscles, and help relieve symptoms of anxiety and depression. Since it might be hard to get motivated enough to exercise, stretching can be a good way to get moving if you’re depressed. Set aside about 15 minutes of time free of distractions. Find a comfortable place to sit, close your eyes, and take several slow, deep breaths. Inhale and tense one muscle group, such as your toes, then hold the tension for about five seconds. Let the tension go and relax the muscles as you exhale slowly. Notice the muscles go limp as the tension disappears. Repeat the process and work through the muscles in your legs, torso, arms, shoulders, neck, and head. From walking the dog to taking judo classes, aerobic exercise isn’t just good for your heart. It can reduce stress hormones and stimulate mood-elevating chemicals in your brain. Focusing on movement while you exercise also allows you to take a break from depression and any conflicts surrounding it. Having an exercise buddy can help keep you accountable on those days when you just want to stay in bed. Try to enlist a friend to help! Yoga involves meditation, physical exercise, and controlled breathing, so it can help ease both your mind and body. If you’re a beginner, look for classes at your local YMCA or yoga studio. You can also search for yoga videos on YouTube and health and fitness websites.
Summary: Stretch your muscles Try progressive muscle relaxation. Try to get daily aerobic exercise. Start doing yoga.
