Exercise and bowels

Regular outdoor exercise helps to stimulate appetite. Emotional well being is essential to have a good appetite. Constipation may reduce the appetite so the bowel movements should be regulated with adequate fluids, exercise and fruits. Synthetic drinks, soft drinks, alcohol, aerated drinks, too much of tea and coffee reduce appetite and should be avoided.
