Adequate fiber and fluid intake are primary factors in reducing the risk of developing constipation. Salmon does not contain fiber. However, ensuring adequate fiber intake – 25 to 30 grams per day - is achieved, along with consuming fish will likely result in regular bowel movement rather than constipation. If your dietary pattern is low in fiber and fluid, constipation may be experienced. When increasing your fiber intake, be sure to increase your fluid intake to reduce the risk of constipation. Additionally, low physical activity and certain medications can increase your risk for developing constipation.
Constipation is usually caused by a lack of fibre in the diet. Eating foods such as whole grains, cereals and fruits and vegetables can help relieve symptoms. Salmon has not been found to be a direct cause of constipation.
