Don't get up early

for office workers and "baby-givers", the most hectic time of day is in the morning, but no matter how busy they are, they should also remember these three things:

Stool stays in the colon, water is absorbed for a long time, dry stool will cause constipation and even hemorrhoids, anal fissure and other perianal diseases.
