Constipation is usually defined as having a bowel movement fewer than three times per week. In addition to stress, certain lifestyle issues can lead to constipation. These include eating a low-fiber diet, not getting enough exercise, and not drinking enough water. Many people also experience constipation while traveling. Research on Massage and Constipation Even though massage isn’t a standard treatment for constipation, some scientific research shows that it may help in restoring regularity....

Spinal ligaments also provide stability to the column. They do this by limiting the degree of movement in the direction opposite their location. For example, your anterior longitudinal ligament (see below for details) is located in front of your vertebral bodies. When you arch back, it prevents you from going too far.

The usual explanation for Estrada’s victory is that the voters believed his on-screen image as the savior of the poor. He managed to convince the masses that he was one of them. I don’t buy this reasoning. For one thing, Estrada hasn’t made a movie in many years, and it’s obvious that he isn’t poor. Like a true populist, he understoodthe symbols and gestures that mattered to those on society’s lower rungs....

They have no illusions about getting her back. The DeBoers fought a long legal battle to keep Dan and Cara Schmidt from reclaiming the child they conceived, but once she was gone they stopped filing court appeals. They didn’t want to compound the child’s suffering by uprooting her yet again, says Suellyn Scarnecchia, the Michigan lawyer who represented them. They also recognized that their odds of winning were slim. The DeBoers did hope to stay in touch with Jessica, and two of their supporters tried to clear the way....

The Cavs hit 30 regular-season losses for the second consecutive season after sneaking just under that mark in LeBron James’ first two seasons back in town. How much of a concern should that be as James attempts to lead a franchise to a fourth straight trip to the NBA Finals? After all, Cleveland finished 51-31 last season and made the NBA Finals before losing in five games to the Warriors....

Throughout the offseason, Westbrook’s name was consistently mentioned in trade talks, leading many to believe his days in LA were numbered. As the dust settled and the team headed to its training facility in El Segundo, Calif. for Media Day, Westbrook was indeed in attendance and ready to get to work. Given the trade talks of the summer, it’s fair to wonder whether or not Westbrook still feels wanted in Los Angeles....

The four-time NBA MVP has become a partner in the Fenway Sports Group, according to The Boston Globe’s Michael Silverman, who reported Tuesday that James now owns an undisclosed amount of FSG shares.

LeBron James, who doesn’t tweet that often compared to some athletes, made sure he didn’t miss a golden opportunity to blast teammate Kevin Love for his shoes worn in a high school photo shoot. James raises a valid question. The photo is 10 years old, but my goodness, there had to be better options out there for Love, who at the time was the No. 1 recruit in the country....

Just when it seemed as though Los Angeles was starting to figure things out, eight-time All-Star Anthony Davis suffered a stress fracture in his right foot that will sideline him indefinitely. The Lakers are 2-5 since his injury, falling all the way to 13th in the Western Conference standings. The Lakers’ latest loss came at the hands of the Heat. James led the way with 27 points, nine rebounds and six assists, but Miami cruised to a 112-98 victory....

The three-time NBA champion has been connected to the Cavs, Lakers, 76ers, Rockets and even the Celtics in free agency, but it appears Los Angeles is in the lead for James’ services. LeBron will ultimately change the landscape of the league with his latest decision, and he may move quickly once he’s able to begin negotiating his next deal.

Durant, you’ll remember, infamously joined the Warriors after his Thunder team botched a 3-1 lead in the Western Conference finals, opting to get that ever-elusive NBA title. The move was heavily criticized: Former teammate Russell Westbrook called him a cupcake, and talking head Stephen A. Smith called the move “weak.” MORE: We’re seeing exactly why Kevin Durant is a Warrior Now, as Durant and the Warriors aim for their first title together, another player has joined the fray: Cavs superstar LeBron James....

In the span of about four minutes, James had pushed the Cavaliers to a 17-point lead over the Celtics in a battle for supremacy in the Eastern Conference. STATS: Cavaliers-Celtics Game Center Cleveland (51-27) took the game 114-91 and, with it, a one-game lead over Boston (50-28) for top seed in the East. The lead is, in effect, two games because the Cavs now hold the tiebreaker advantage. In dismantling the Celts, the Cavaliers — who were playing the second half of a back-to-back — delivered a pretty clear message to their upstart foe and every other team that has designs on keeping the Cavs from making a third straight Finals appearance when the playoffs start next week....

Cantona wrote his name into Premier League infamy in 1995 when he flew into the stands to attack a Crystal Palace fan. The Frenchman suffered a lengthy ban, but returned to help United to the double the following season and retains an iconic status amongst supporters at Old Trafford. But according to his former team-mate, notoriously short-fused Fergie was surprisingly soft on Cantona - if not with other members of that side....

The Reds (2nd, 41 points) stumbled slightly in a 2-2 draw against an in-form Spurs side last time out as Mohamed Salah’s stunning run of 15 Premier League games with a goal or assist came to an end. Despite the controversial referee decisions that impacted that result, Liverpool is clearly still a force to be reckoned with. This game falls within 48 hours of their Boxing Day league matches, but while Leicester City was busy grappling with league leader Manchester City on Sunday, Liverpool was afforded some rest with its match against Leeds United postponed due to COVID-19 and other injury issues impacting Marcelo Bielsa’s men....
