As a society we rarely talk about our bowel habits.  Even the mention of it can cause people blush with embarrassment or make them attempt to divert the conversation in another direction.  However, apart for the social discomfort that it can bring the physical discomfort of altered bowel habits is also an issue for many.  Heaviness, bloating, sluggishness and even migraines, joint pain and brain fog can all stem from slow bowel movements.
