Convenient secret

Do you think you have constipation? Maybe you think it is healthy to defecate every day. But in fact, the demand for defecation varies from person to person. For some people, it may be normal to row three times a day; For others, three times a week may be enough. In fact, many people suffer from psychological constipation. They think they have constipation, but they don't.

The vast majority of constipation is caused by the fast pace of modern lifestyle, such as too elaborate diet, lack of enough fiber and too little water, great pressure in life, lack of exercise, and untimely defecation. It may also be a side effect of some drugs, such as iron supplements, painkillers and stimulants. Constipation can also occur in women during pregnancy, and the elderly and women are prone to constipation.

Persistent chronic constipation will bring many diseases, including hemorrhoids, flatulence, insomnia, headache, bad breath, varicose veins, obesity, indigestion, diverticulitis, appendicitis, hernia, large intestine and so on. Diabetes, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, depression, etc. It can also cause constipation symptoms.

It is very important to keep the intestine unobstructed every day. Under normal circumstances, the body will discharge waste after 18-24 hours, and then it will start to produce harmful toxins.

Family therapy measures

● Increase the intake of cellulose.

Each of us needs to increase the intake of cellulose. The American Dietetic Association stipulates that we should consume at least 30 grams of cellulose every day, but many people can't even reach half the required amount. In fact, eating more coarse grains, fruits and fresh vegetables can easily increase the intake of cellulose. Foods with high cellulose content include wheat bran, miscellaneous grains, cooked beans, plums, figs, grapes, popcorn, pears and drupes. These foods are rich in fiber and trace elements, but low in calories, so they are good healthy foods. Note that fiber intake should be gradually increased to avoid excessive exhaust.

● Drink plenty of water

Another most important diet to deal with constipation is water. A large amount of water intake is necessary to soften the stump and promote its passage through the colon. How much water is enough? Adults need at least 6 glasses of water every day, and 8 glasses of water is better. Although all kinds of liquids are effective, the best choice is boiled water.

● Exercise more.

Regular exercise can promote intestinal peristalsis, accelerate the passage of waste through the small intestine, and shorten the contact time between these potentially carcinogenic wastes and tissues, thus solving the constipation problem. Walking is especially helpful for pregnant women. Many pregnant women affect intestinal peristalsis because of fetal growth. Pregnant women should walk for 20-30 minutes every day, and be careful not to walk too hard.

● Develop good living habits.

It is a good habit to defecate on time every day. A person should be cultivated from an early age, and he will benefit for life. Modern busy life makes many people accustomed to going to the toilet whenever they have time, rather than according to their inner reactions. As a result, long-term patience gradually leads to constipation. It's not too late to change the bad habit of defecation. Going to the toilet after a meal is the best time, because the food in the stomach will promote intestinal peristalsis. You might as well sit in the toilet 10 minutes after every meal, even if you feel uncomfortable. Stick to it for a month or even months, and you will get the reward you deserve.

● Relax.

When you are nervous or stressed, your mouth will burst, your heart will beat faster and your intestines will stop crawling. In fact, it is a fight-or-flight mechanism. If you feel the pressure of constipation, try to relax yourself and listen to some relaxing music. Or laugh heartily, because laughing will shake the stomach, massage the intestines, help digestion, relieve stress and tension, and help prevent constipation.

● Use laxatives with caution.

The laxatives on the market are usually effective, but they are easy to make users addicted. If you eat too much of these chemicals, your intestines will become dependent, which will make constipation more serious.

● Safe natural laxatives

The main ingredient of natural laxatives sold in pharmacies is usually ground plantain seed, which is a kind of super-concentrated fiber. Users are not addicted, and it is usually safe to use and can even be taken for a long time. But when taking this laxative, be sure to mix a lot of water (see the instructions in detail) to prevent it from sticking to the intestine.

Be careful of some medicinal plants.

Medicinal plants that can treat constipation include aloe juice, senna leaf, rhubarb, rat skin and so on. These products are very effective, but you should take them carefully. Some medicinal plants are used as laxatives, just like chemical laxatives, and should not be used excessively.

● Occasionally use enema.

If constipation lasts for several weeks and any fiber is ineffective, you have to turn to enema or tampon. They take effect quickly and can be used occasionally, but if used frequently, it may also lead to rectal dependence on them and aggravate constipation.

Lemon or coffee enema can be used. Never use fatty soapy water, which may irritate the intestines. When buying a corkscrew, only choose glycerin products and avoid using irritating chemical products.

● Use drugs with caution and replenish crystals.

Many drugs may cause or aggravate constipation. Common drugs include antacids containing aluminum or calcium, antihistamines and Parkinson's drugs, calcium supplements, diuretics, anesthetics, phenothiazine, tranquilizers, tricyclic stimulants and so on.

● Don't use excessive force.

It is unwise to try hard to relieve constipation, which may cause hemorrhoids and anal rupture, which is not only painful and costly, but also makes constipation more serious by narrowing the anal orifice. Excessive exertion can also increase blood pressure and slow down the heartbeat. Li Qi is an elderly patient with constipation. If he suffers from cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, it will even bring serious consequences.

Patients with hypertension should pay attention to keep their stools unobstructed. Don't forcibly defecate when you are constipated. Long-term constipation can induce anal fissure, hemorrhoids, rectal cancer, and may also lead to high blood pressure and stroke due to forced defecation, which should be paid attention to.

Nutrition and diet therapy

A healthy diet is always the right choice. Eating coarse grains and fresh fruits and vegetables is the only way to prevent constipation. Here are some simple and effective dietary remedies, so try them.

Self-made natural laxatives

Plantain seed is an effective natural laxative. When it is combined with water, it will form a gel to increase the volume of feces. Flaxseed helps to soften feces. You can go to the Chinese medicine shop to buy preparations yourself, which can save a lot of money. 2 parts of plantain seed, 1 part of flaxseed and 1 part of oat bran are mixed and ground together to prepare a mixture of ultra-high fibers. Mix this mixture with water and take 1-2 spoonfuls every night before going to bed. Plum (dried plum) is one of the best natural laxatives.

Take acidophilic bacteria as an example.

Continuous use of laxatives will eliminate bacteria in the small intestine and cause chronic constipation. If you often use laxatives, you need to take acidophilic bacteria to supplement benign bacteria.

● Pay attention to certain foods.

Some gourmet towns will make some people constipated, but have no effect on others or just the opposite. For example, milk may make some people seriously constipated, but it will make others suffer from dysentery. If your constipation is caused by colon spasm, you should avoid foods that are easy to vent, such as beans, broccoli and cabbage. If your constipation is very painful, you may have colon spasm.

● Foods to be avoided

Avoid using too much pure vegetable oil such as rapeseed oil, olive oil or soybean oil. It is not that the oil itself is not good, but that when you ingest these pure oils extracted from plants, it is easy to cause constipation and many other digestive problems. The problem with these oils is that they form a thin film in the stomach, making it difficult for carbohydrates and protein to be digested in the stomach and small intestine. This delayed full digestion for about 20 hours, and led to food spoilage, gas, toxins and other things accumulated in the colon and large intestine.

Avoid foods that stimulate mucosal secretion. Don't eat dairy products, white flour or sugar products. Eat fresh fruit, green leafy vegetables and brown rice every day.
