Why are women more prone to constipation? This has a lot to do with women's physical structure, eating habits and psychological characteristics, for the following three reasons:
1, eating too little
Women are strict about their own image. In order to keep slim, many people maintain it by dieting. Because of too little food intake, the stomach often feels hungry, and the gastrointestinal tract is empty. The little food that is almost absent can't stimulate gastrointestinal peristalsis, so that the excretion function can't play normally. In the long run, it will cause intestinal dysfunction and defecation will not be normal.
2. Too little fiber
Even if there is no strict diet for women, if the staple food is mainly white flour and polished rice, they rarely eat coarse grains, and they are prone to constipation symptoms. Because the large intestine absorbs water through fiber to accelerate peristalsis, without fiber, the peristalsis of the large intestine is weak, the speed of defecation will slow down, and the risk of intestinal cancer will also increase. Eating more fruits and vegetables, beans, roots, miscellaneous grains, etc. containing more cellulose in life can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis and prevent constipation.
3. Self-influence
Women's gastrointestinal peristalsis is slower than men's, and with the unique female physiological structure, the probability of problems is also greater than men's. In addition, affected by hormone levels, women are more sentimental, emotionally unstable and prone to constipation. And most women have soft bodies, less muscles and poor visceral function. Although many people have a bowel movement, their intestinal strength is insufficient and they cannot discharge feces.
With the symptoms of long-term constipation, we can't just sit back and watch. Women have to find ways to alleviate this problem. The key is to think from the intestines. These three methods can help you recuperate the intestines.
1, drink water to detoxify
Both men and women, most substances in the body are water, and people can't leave the nourishment of water. Only by drinking enough water can cells metabolize normally and detoxify in various ways. Drinking enough water can soften the stool in the intestine, promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, and discharge toxins and garbage in time. Whether you are thirsty or not, you can guarantee 8 glasses of water a day, and you can also drink a little yogurt properly, which has a good relieving effect on constipation.
2, diet conditioning
Dietary balance is a magic weapon to maintain intestinal health. You can eat more foods containing fiber, such as celery and spinach. Or coarse grains and fruits, such as millet, oats and bananas. These foods with high cellulose content can absorb a lot of water, prevent dry stool and prevent constipation. It can also maintain the normal function of intestinal tract, enhance human immunity and prevent and treat chronic diseases.
3. Exercise conditioning
Exercise increases the peristalsis of gastrointestinal tract, increases the depth and frequency of breathing during exercise, and increases the activity range of diaphragm and abdominal muscles, which has a good massage effect on gastrointestinal tract. It can improve the blood circulation of gastrointestinal tract, prevent intestinal aging and promote digestion and absorption of gastrointestinal tract. Move around more, prevent sitting for a long time, and let the large machine of the body work normally.
When you encounter constipation, don't first think of using drugs to relieve it. It is a three-point poison, and laxatives can only cure the symptoms but not the root cause. Long-term use will lead to dependence and fall into a vicious circle. What everyone has to do is to adjust diet combined with exercise and a happy and positive attitude, and mobilize the whole body to solve the constipation problem. Believe that you can do it.
