Modern life is making Americans constipated
2017-08-24
  • [Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] At least 16% of Americans - including a third of people over 60 - experience chronic constipationThe number of people admitted to hospitals has more than doubled since 1997

  • It can have major complications including anal fissures and hemorrhoids when not treated

  • The huge uptick can be linked to the high-fat Western diet and lack of fiber

  • It can also be linked to Americans' sedentary lifestyles and lack of exercise

That's what's wrong with the gorillas, too.
Banaunhas, try the banaunhas.
