Constipation is a problem that everyone will encounter, and many people can't escape the troubles caused by constipation. Constipation occurs a lot, such as not having good defecation habits, not taking enough dietary fiber food, often not drinking water, often not eating fruits, often not eating vegetables, being emotionally unstable, and being upside down day and night, which will all lead to constipation problems.

In fact, if it is not a chronic constipation problem, it is a very good problem to solve, and it can be improved through daily diet, which is as the saying goes. However, if it is constipation that has not improved for more than 6 months, it is necessary to seek medical attention in time.

So, how to relieve constipation? Next, I would like to borrow some personal suggestions for your reference. First, eat more foods rich in dietary fiber.

In the daily diet, we should eat more foods rich in dietary fiber, such as wheat germ and oatmeal, which are very good natural foods with high nutrition and have obvious effects on improving constipation. They have always been the nutritional staple food favored by health care workers. Secondly, sweet potato and millet also have a very good effect on relieving constipation. Vegetables and fruits also contain dietary fiber, so the intake of vegetables and fruits should be appropriately increased in the daily diet structure.

In particular, wheat germ, known as the "gastrointestinal protector", has a significant effect on improving constipation and gastrointestinal problems. On the program of Beijing Health [Yangshengtang] 20 15, Yu Renwen, then a senior nutrition caterer in the General Hospital of Beijing Military Region, strongly recommended middle-aged and elderly people and people with gastrointestinal discomfort to eat more wheat germ for a long time, which can bring you unexpected results.

Compendium of Materia Medica also records: "Wheat germ can cure palpitation and insomnia, nourish the heart and soothe the nerves, nourish liver qi, stop diarrhea, lower blood pressure and strengthen the spleen and stomach".

Second, develop good defecation habits.

Good defecation habits are of great significance to gastrointestinal health and can better touch gastrointestinal peristalsis. Actually, the reason why we feel comfortable is the result of gastrointestinal peristalsis. If you don't develop a good habit of defecation and don't solve it when defecating, it will violate the physiological phenomenon. Although once you miss this opportunity, you need to wait for the next intestinal peristalsis, which often needs to wait until the next day, and during this period, water is constantly reabsorbed, which is easy to cause constipation.

Third, drink plenty of water and exercise regularly.

Regular exercise and drinking plenty of water also play a very important role in improving constipation. Insufficient drinking water may also lead to constipation. Food residues are stored in the large intestine, and there is not enough water absorption, which leads to food residues becoming more and more dry. Sufficient moisture helps to alleviate the dry knot of food residues, so that food residues can remain moist, soft and easy to discharge for a longer period of time. Moderate exercise can not only burn calories, but also help to maintain the smooth operation of the intestinal system and promote more regular defecation.
