Constipation can cause great harm to human health. On the one hand, it will cause the toxins in the body to not be effectively excreted, causing toxins to accumulate in the body and cause various diseases; on the other hand, constipation will also cause poor digestion, leading to an inability to eat, resulting in insufficient nutrition for the body. Therefore, we must pay attention to preventing the occurrence of constipation in our lives. If constipation has already occurred, it needs to be relieved in time.

To relieve long-term constipation, you can refer to the following measures: 1. Develop good living habits

Most cases of constipation are caused by bad living habits, such as not liking to drink water. , Like to eat fat, sweet and delicious food instead of fruits and vegetables, and do not exercise, etc. Therefore, in order to fundamentally solve the problem of constipation, we first need to change our bad living habits. You should drink 1700 ml of water every day, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, and eat more foods rich in crude fiber. At the same time, you should strengthen exercise and maintain good living habits for a long time, which is very helpful to relieve constipation. 2. Develop the habit of defecation at a fixed time

Defection is reflexive. When feces fills the rectum and stimulates the receptors on the intestinal wall, the body will upload this signal to the cerebral cortex to produce the urge to defecate. If you go to defecate at this time, then the cerebral cortex will send out an impulse to increase the excitement of the defecation center, and you can pass stool; if you do not go to defecate at this time, then the brain will send a signal to contract the external anal sphincter to prevent the discharge of feces. ?

Therefore, once a person forms a fixed defecation regularity, the body will adapt accordingly. As long as the body has the urge to defecate during that period of time, even if there is no urge to defecate, you can try to follow the regular pattern. Try to defecate during the period, which will allow the brain to get feedback that the body wants to defecate, which will facilitate defecation and achieve the purpose of relieving constipation. 3. Use intestinal lubricants or appropriate colon cleansing

If you have very stubborn constipation and the above two methods have no effect, you can use some intestinal lubricants under the guidance of a doctor. Lubricant or proper colon cleansing is also a way to relieve constipation, but this method must be carried out under the advice of a doctor.

In short, the first way to relieve constipation is to improve your bad lifestyle. If it doesn't work, you can then use drugs or other methods. No matter what, the constipation situation must be improved, otherwise it will cause great harm to health.
