Image via WikipediaWhen you have heart failure you tend to take diuretics for fluid retention and because of these two factors you can easily become constipated.It can happen quite quickly and its something that you need to guard against in your daily life by eating the right things.I find having wholemeal bread instead of white bread and eating plenty of vegetables, fruit and salad does help to guard against this.It also of course helps you feel better as eating a healthy diet keeps your weight down and gives you the protein and vitamins you need.When you have long term health problems the doctors give you all the drugs and treatments they can to help you but I do feel strongly that we all have to do our bit to help ourselves and to stop our lives being disrupted and made worse by the inevitable side effects of the drugs we take and the illnesses we have.
