Drink enough water - 2 to 3 litres (8 - 12 cups) a day and 3 meals a day.
Eat a balanced amount of carbohydrates, proteins and fatty foods with enough fibre.
The food pyramid shows you should eat bread, rice, pasta, potatoes, meat, beans, butter, and a lot of vegetables and fruit.
 
Fibre will ensure we go to the toilet daily.
