First, let's first understand how constipation is formed.
The causes of constipation are complex, among which dietary problems are the most common.
The food we eat every day is digested by the intestines, and finally the residual toxins and the like in some remaining foods are excreted through our gastrointestinal peristalsis. So if there is something wrong with the peristalsis of our stomach or the food we eat is too greasy, difficult to digest or it is easy to damage our stomach and body fluids, it will cause these foods to get stuck in it and become constipated.
Of course, besides diet, our emotions and other visceral diseases are also easy to cause constipation.
Second, how should constipation be treated?
1, an emergency response method
If you are squatting in the toilet and find that no matter how hard you try, the feces can't be discharged, we can do this, that is, raise our hands and gently pat the Baihui point above our heads with our fingers or the center of our palms. Generally, after doing this, the feces can be discharged easily.
This is because when we slap the top of our head, our body will naturally lower our body's qi, which can help our intestines and stomach to discharge feces.
2. Countermeasures for insufficient cellulose intake
Constipation is usually caused by insufficient intake of dietary fiber, especially for the elderly and children. Lack of dietary fiber will lead to imbalance of intestinal flora, poor water absorption of fecal mass, resulting in dry stool and difficult discharge. After dietary fiber enters our intestines, it can effectively relieve constipation by rapidly proliferating Bifidobacterium and inhibiting the reproduction of harmful bacteria.
At present, the dietary fiber intake of Chinese residents is on the decline, which can meet the daily dietary fiber intake standard (25-30g for adults) by less than 5%, which is also one of the main factors leading to the high incidence of constipation in recent years.
Dietary fiber supplement-"vegetarian" introduced in the column of Intestines and Health. Yuanhanfang is an excellent water-soluble dietary fiber supplement, which contains the extract of hawthorn malt. The pure natural extract can be taken for a long time to improve the metabolic function, strengthen the spleen, nourish the stomach and help digestion. It is safe and scientific. Friends who have used it all say that the effect is good, especially for elderly people. It is recommended for friends with constipation. At present, it can be found on treasure, which is very convenient.
Three, two methods to prevent constipation
1, smile often
According to American medical research, when we laugh, we can drive our abdomen to move, which can effectively increase the function of gastrointestinal peristalsis, which is very helpful for the digestion of food or the discharge of feces, and in addition, it can effectively reduce stress.
2. Go to the toilet regularly every day.
People who don't have the habit of squatting every day may feel that they have no intention at first, and squatting every day is a waste of time. However, squatting every day is tantamount to reminding their brains to remember to defecate every day, so that our nerves will adjust more in this respect, thus preventing constipation.
Of course, in order to fundamentally prevent constipation, it is necessary to adjust all aspects of life, including diet and work and rest.
