Convenient secret
Do you think you have constipation? Maybe you think it is healthy to have a bowel movement every day. But in fact, the demand for defecation varies from person to person, and 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-paced modern lifestyle, such as too elaborate diet, lack of enough fiber and too little water, stress of life, lack of exercise, and untimely defecation. It may also be a side effect of certain drugs, such as iron supplements, painkillers, stimulants and so on. 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, dyspepsia, diverticulitis, appendicitis, hernia, large intestine and so on. Diabetes, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, depression, etc. can also produce constipation symptoms.
It is very important to keep the intestine unobstructed every day. Under normal circumstances, waste will be excreted in the body after18-24 hours, and harmful toxins will begin to be produced after it is exceeded.
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 take at least 30 grams of cellulose a day, but many people can't even reach half the required amount. In fact, it is easy to increase the intake of cellulose by eating more coarse grains, fruits and fresh vegetables. Foods with high cellulose content include wheat bran, coarse cereals, 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 health foods. Note that the fiber intake should be gradually increased to avoid excessive exhaust.
● Drink plenty of water
Another most important diet item to deal with constipation is water. A large amount of water intake is necessary to soften the pile and promote it to pass through the colon. How much water is enough? Adults need at least 6 glasses of water a day, and 8 glasses 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 wastes through the small intestine, and shorten the contact time between these wastes which may cause cancer and tissues, thus solving the constipation problem. Walking is especially helpful for pregnant women. Many pregnant women affect the peristalsis of the intestines because of the growth of the fetus. Pregnant women should walk for 20-30 minutes every day, and pay attention to avoid walking too hard.
● Develop good living habits.
It is a good habit to defecate on time every day. One should cultivate from childhood and he will benefit for life. Modern busy life makes many people accustomed to going to the toilet when they have time, rather than according to their internal reactions. As a result, long-term tolerance gradually leads to constipation. It's not too late to change your bad habit of defecation. It's the best time to go to the toilet after meals, because the food in your stomach will promote intestinal peristalsis. You might as well sit in the toilet 10 minute after every meal, even if you don't feel comfortable. 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 out, your heart will beat faster, and your intestines will stop crawling. In fact, this is a fight or escape mechanism. If you feel the pressure of constipation, try to relax yourself and listen to some light-hearted music. Or laugh heartily, because when laughing, it vibrates the belly, which has a massage effect on the intestines, can help digestion, and can relieve stress and tension, which is conducive to preventing constipation.
● Use laxatives with caution.
The laxatives on the market are usually effective, but they are easy to make users addicted. If you take too many 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 super concentrated fiber, which is not addictive to users, and is usually safe to use and even can be taken for a long time. However, when taking this kind of laxatives, you must mix a lot of water (read the instructions in detail) to prevent them 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, etc. These products are all very effective, but you should take them carefully. Some medicinal plants make laxatives, just like chemical laxatives, which should not be overused.
● Use enema occasionally.
If constipation lasts for several weeks, and any fiber is ineffective, you have to turn to enema or tampon. They have a quick effect and can be used occasionally, but if they are used frequently, it may also lead to rectal dependence on them, making constipation worse.
Lemon or coffee enema can be used, and never use fatty soap water, which may irritate the intestines. When buying a plug opener, only choose glycerin products, and avoid using harsh chemical products.
● Use drugs with caution and supplement 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, etc.
● Don't use excessive force.
It is not wise 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. Overexertion can also raise your blood pressure and slow down your heartbeat. Liqi is an elderly constipation patient, and 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. Do not defecate forcibly when you are constipated. Long-term constipation can induce anal fissure, hemorrhoids, rectal cancer, and may also cause blood pressure to rise and stroke due to forced defecation, so we should pay attention to it.
Nutrition and dietotherapy
A healthy diet is always the right choice. Eating more coarse grains and fresh fruits and vegetables is the only way to prevent constipation. Here are some simple and effective diet prescriptions, so you may wish to give it a try.
Self-made natural laxatives
Plantago asiatica seed is an effective natural laxative. When it is combined with water, it forms a gel to increase the volume of dung. Flaxseed helps to soften feces. You can buy your own preparation from a Chinese medicine shop, which can save a lot of money. Mixing 2 parts of plantain seed, 1 part of flaxseed and 1 part of oat bran, and grinding them together, an ultra-high fiber mixture can be made. Make this mixture into a paste with water and take1-2 spoonfuls every night before going to bed. Plum (dried plum) is one of the best natural laxatives.
Take acidophilic bacteria.
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 the benign bacteria.
● Pay attention to certain foods.
Some food towns can make some people constipated, but they have no effect on others or just the opposite. For example, milk may make some people seriously constipated, but it makes others suffer from dysentery. If your constipation is caused by colonic spasm, you should avoid foods that are prone to exhaust, such as beans, broccoli and cabbage. If your constipation is severely painful, you may have colon spasm.
● Foods to be avoided

The problem with these oils is that they form a thin film in the stomach, which makes carbohydrates and protein difficult to digest in the stomach and small intestine. This delayed the full digestion for about 20 hours, and caused food spoilage, gas, toxins and other things to accumulate in the colon and large intestine.
Avoid foods that stimulate mucosal secretion. Do not eat dairy products, white flour or sugar products. Eat fresh fruit, raw green leafy vegetables and brown rice every day.

* In addition, if constipation is accompanied by abdominal swelling, it may indicate intestinal obstruction.
* If the feces stink and the anus has a burning sensation, this may be a sign of acidosis.
