I m a 47 years old male. I do moderate exercise, jogging 3-4 times a week. my work requires me to sit for 6-8 hours. I have this issue where it does not empty completely in the morning. Having this issue from the last 15-20 years. The first stool is without any effort but then i have to drink tea warm water etc to empty completely in another 1-2 sittings. Triphla, isabgol help at times but dont want to use regularly. I have dinner too at 7 and sleep at 10. I tried having a very light dinner too but it didnt work. Please advice.

Ans: Having the bowel movement within 10mts of waking up in the morning is a good indicator to show that your life forces are good.
Nevertheless, you should not look at the evacuation as in quantity, you must see if there are any discomforts later in the day.
Even if you have your bowels, moved once more in the evening is good enough.
Increase the fibre content in your diet, have adequate water and increase your physical activity

i need a personal loan my cibil score is550

Ans: With a CIBIL score of 550, getting a personal loan is very difficult.

Try these steps:

Improve your score first by clearing outstanding dues.

Avoid applying to many lenders at once.

Try NBFCs or peer-to-peer lenders, but expect high interest.

Consider gold loan or loan against FD if urgent.

Build your credit score above 700 for better options.
