1, analysis of the causes of constipation
First, the dietary impact
There are many reasons for constipation, so we should pay attention to treatment. Now many female friends like to eat too carefully and lack the necessary cellulose, which leads to unnecessary residue stimulation in the large intestine, and constipation is easy to occur.
Second, intestinal organic diseases
What are the causes of constipation? We should pay attention to timely understanding and treatment, such as intestinal tumor, intestinal adhesion, inflammation, or anal diseases including anal fissure and hemorrhoids. Anal fissure patients are the most obvious, because of defecation pain and forbearance, it is easy to cause constipation for a long time.
III. Extraintestinal organic diseases
Large abdominal mass compression, spinal cord and nerve root lesions, hypothyroidism, portal hypertension or heart failure can also cause constipation.
Fourth, functional constipation
Lack of defecation motivation, such as abdominal muscle weakness, intestinal smooth muscle weakness, levator ani muscle weakness, etc. In addition, constipation can also be caused by colon spasm, slow or lost response to rectal defecation, and dependence caused by abuse of laxatives.
2. Foods that can relieve constipation
1, sesame, almond and other foods rich in magnesium. A joint study by Japan Institute of Health and Nutrition and Women's Nutrition University shows that people with low magnesium intake are prone to constipation. Magnesium has the function of laxative and softening feces, and moderate intake is helpful to laxative. Foods rich in magnesium include peanuts, brown rice, walnuts and bananas.
2, pickles, fermented soy sauce and other foods rich in plant lactic acid bacteria. Lactic acid bacteria can adjust the intestinal environment and eliminate constipation. But lactic acid bacteria can be divided into animal and plant, and the latter can prevent constipation. Because the latter is more acid-resistant than the former, it can reach the intestine alive and play a role, and the survival rate of the latter in the intestine is 10 times that of the former.
3, asparagus, onions and other foods rich in oligosaccharides. Oligosaccharide, also known as oligosaccharide, is a kind of carbohydrate, and its polymerization degree is relatively low. It is found that oligosaccharides can increase the content of Bifidobacterium in breast milk and help to adjust the intestinal environment. Foods rich in oligosaccharides include garlic, coffee, corn, honey and all kinds of bean products.
4, green peppers, kiwis and other foods rich in vitamin C. Vitamin C in the intestine is one of the foods of lactic acid bacteria, which can increase the number of probiotics, thus indirectly preventing constipation. Foods rich in vitamin C include fresh dates, oranges and green leafy vegetables.
5, olive oil, sunflower oil and other foods rich in oleic acid. Oleic acid has emulsifying effect, which can soften intestinal feces and promote defecation. Foods rich in oleic acid include sesame, peanuts, almonds, walnuts and other nuts.
6. Foods rich in dietary fiber such as coarse grains and vegetables. Dietary fiber in food can be divided into two types: water-soluble and insoluble. The former can soften feces, increase the number of intestinal probiotics and adjust the microecological balance in human body. The latter can absorb water and expand in the intestine, stimulate the intestinal wall, accelerate intestinal peristalsis, adsorb harmful substances and excrete them. Foods rich in these two dietary fibers include all kinds of coarse grains and miscellaneous beans, such as brown rice, red beans, mung beans, kidney beans, etc., bacteria and algae foods, such as fungus, kelp, Tricholoma, etc., and various fruits and vegetables, such as tomatoes, burdock, apples, etc.
3. What are the hazards of constipation?
1, affecting beauty: constipation patients can produce a lot of harmful toxins due to abnormal fermentation due to long-term retention of feces in the intestine, which is prone to acne, facial pigmentation, rash and so on.
2, leading to obesity: toxins lead to edema in the large intestine, slow blood circulation in the lower body, easy to form pear shape and fat belly.
3, produce body odor: the accumulation of toxins can cause bad breath and body odor.
4, tasteless diet: constipation can make the abdomen full, resulting in nausea, anorexia, tasteless food.
5, neurasthenia: constipation patients can have symptoms such as irritability, uneasiness, insomnia.
6, causing dysmenorrhea: patients with chronic constipation can often cause dysmenorrhea due to long-term pelvic muscle stimulation.
7, decreased desire: patients with long-term constipation may have decreased desire, leading to male impotence, premature ejaculation, female frigidity or lack of orgasm, which reduces the quality of sexual life.
8. Complications: Constipation patients may be complicated with anorectal diseases, such as hemorrhoids, anal fissure, rectal prolapse and colonic diverticulum. In addition, it is easy to suffer from allergic diseases such as urticaria and asthma, cholelithiasis, headache and shoulder coagulation.
9. Inducing cancer: In addition, it can induce breast cancer: harmful toxins of constipation patients continue to stimulate intestinal mucosa, which is easy to cause colorectal cancer, and can also induce breast cancer.
10, causing sudden death: especially in patients with cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension and coronary heart disease, anal anger with severe constipation can make blood pressure rise sharply, causing stroke and even sudden death.
