There are many reasons why constipation can occur, including wrong eating habits, lack of sleep, stress and not drinking the right amount of water. Especially, this problem increases more in winter. In winter we drink less water, and apart from this, physical activities are also less, due to which it becomes more difficult to clean the stomach. This increases Vatadosha in the body, due to which constipation occurs. To stay healthy, it is important to have a clean stomach every morning.
