Constipation is a symptom of many diseases. Without the use of laxatives, defecation is usually difficult if the feces are drained spontaneously for no more than 3 times within 7 days and the feces are dry and hard. In fact, constipation is related to daily eating habits. It is suggested to prevent constipation by paying attention to diet. Here are four ways to treat constipation.

1. Drinking plenty of water can keep enough water in the intestine to soften the feces, thus preventing the feces from drying. The dietary guidelines for China residents suggest that everyone should drink 1500- 1700 ml of drinking water every day. In summer, due to sweating and water evaporation, it is recommended that the drinking water amount reach 2000ml/day.

2. Eat more high-fiber foods. These foods can promote the expansion of feces, increase the volume of feces, further increase the pressure on the intestines, and stimulate intestinal peristalsis, thus preventing and relieving constipation. It is best to add high-fiber foods to the daily diet list. Including sweet potatoes, corn, oats, millet, sorghum and so on. If you have symptoms of constipation, you can simply eat oatmeal, which can have a good laxative effect. At the same time, the dietary fiber content of vegetables and fruits is high.

3. Eating some fatty foods and fats properly can smooth the intestines, moisten the intestines and relax the bowels. It is recommended that constipation patients with normal weight and normal blood lipids take a small handful every day. For example, melon seeds, walnuts, pine nuts, almonds, cashews, sesame seeds and other kernel foods, as well as their knowledge of providing oil, are also rich in vitamin B 1. B vitamins can promote the secretion of digestive juice, maintain and promote intestinal peristalsis, and promote intestinal peristalsis. Insufficient B 1 in the body will affect nerve conduction, slow down gastrointestinal peristalsis, which is not conducive to the digestion, absorption and excretion of food and is easy to cause constipation.

4. If necessary, the vapor caused by gas-producing food can stimulate intestinal peristalsis, such as onion, carrot and soybean. At the same time, special attention should be paid to prevent food from promoting severe constipation. For patients with constipation symptoms, they should not eat or eat stimulating foods such as pepper, onion, garlic and wine on an empty stomach. In a word, moderate adjustment of dietary structure and correction of bad habits of picky eaters have a good effect on preventing and treating constipation.
