The system of beginning DST at 2 AM on the first Sunday in April and ending it at 2 AM on the last Sunday in October was not standardized until 1986. The rules changed again in 2007. DST now begins on the second Sunday of March and ends the first Sunday in November.
Foods To Avoid. For those already struggling with constipation, Beyder and Chey both recommend avoiding red meat. It's high in iron, which can contribute to constipation. Calcium-containing foodsâsuch as milk and cheeseâcan cause constipation for some, Chey says. And Beyder also recommends avoiding fried foods. Proteins and fats stimulate release of gut hormones that slow down the gastrointestinal transit, he says.

Dietary fiber â found mainly in fruits, vegetables, whole grains and legumes â is probably best known for its ability to prevent or relieve constipation. But foods containing fiber can provide other health benefits as well, such as helping to maintain a healthy weight and lowering your risk of diabetes and heart disease.
