7. Causes of constipation
1, eating too little
When the amount of food people eat is low to a certain extent, it will not only cause hunger in the stomach, but also make the intestines shrivel, and there is not enough food residue to stimulate intestinal peristalsis, which will naturally lose its normal excretion function. Long-term dieting can easily lead to intestinal dysfunction, which is very difficult to recover.
Solution: increase the food intake to 70% full, the food volume must be enough, and nutrients should not be lacking. Eat more vegetables and fruits rich in fiber.
2. Too little fiber
The staple food doesn't eat coarse grains, or just the pseudo-coarse-grain food with white flour as the main food, without enough vegetables and high-fiber beans and potatoes, which leads to insufficient fiber in the diet and serious lack of peristalsis of the large intestine, which will lead to constipation and greatly increase the risk of intestinal cancer.
Solution: replace some staple foods with coarse grains, bean porridge and potatoes, and eat more foods rich in dietary fiber such as oats, sweet potatoes, red beans, lotus seeds, lilies and lotus roots.
3, the body is dry
If the weather is dry and the air humidity is low, the human body may lose sweat and drink insufficient water at the same time, which may cause dry stool.
Solution: Eat less spicy food and more vegetables and fruits, as well as foods rich in soluble dietary fiber such as fungus, tremella, kelp and oat bran; Eat more foods rich in trace elements such as almonds, pine nuts, melon seeds, flaxseed, etc. And some carrots and dark green leafy vegetables rich in provitamin A (necessary for intestinal mucosa repair) are helpful to improve constipation.
4, lack of sleep
Insufficient sleep, overwork, emotional anxiety, etc., sympathetic nerves are excited for a long time, which inhibits the peristalsis of the gastrointestinal tract and easily causes constipation.
Solution: Go to bed early and get up early, and work regularly. Always take deep breaths and relax, increase leisure activities and do various fitness exercises to improve your mood.
5. Poor physical fitness
Many people feel weak when defecating, which is due to poor physical fitness. Most of these people have soft bodies, few muscles, weak digestion and absorption ability, low visceral function and insufficient intestinal peristalsis.
Solution: Strengthen nutrition and increase exercise. Moderate exercise can greatly improve physical fitness, promote blood circulation, and thus improve intestinal peristalsis;
At the same time, eat foods that improve digestion and absorption, supplement vitamins and trace elements, so that visceral muscles can be restored and excretion will naturally be smooth.
6. Pathological factors
Some people's constipation and diarrhea appear alternately or even at the same time; It is always unbearable abdominal pain or bleeding when defecating, which belongs to pathological factors and needs timely medical treatment, which cannot be underestimated.
