What About a Warm Drink Before Bed?
A warm, non-alcoholic drink can be a comforting part of an evening routine, particularly if it helps you maintain adequate fluid intake.
However, it is important not to confuse comfort with a medical “detox.”
A simple option is:
Simple evening hydration drink
1 cup of warm water
Optional: a small amount of lemon for flavor
Drink slowly rather than consuming a large amount at once

should be viewed as a hydration habit, not a treatment that physically washes kilograms of waste out of the colon.
If you have a medical condition that requires you to restrict fluids, follow your healthcare professional’s advice instead.
Foods That Can Support Regularity
If constipation is a recurring problem, your overall diet is usually more important than one special drink.
Try incorporating more naturally fiber-rich foods into your meals.
Fruits
Apples, pears, berries, oranges, and other fruits can contribute fiber to the diet. Some fruits also contain naturally occurring compounds such as sorbitol that may help make stools easier to pass.
