Lu (Master of Traditional Chinese Medicine) Many people are troubled by constipation, but they don't pay attention to it and think it is a small problem. Anyway, there is no other discomfort in the body, which does not affect their life and work, so they are too lazy to solve this problem. In fact, when constipation is serious, it will be accompanied by abdominal distension and abdominal pain, loss of appetite, belching and nausea, bloody stool and other symptoms, which is not a small problem. Zhu Danxi, a famous doctor in the Yuan Dynasty, once said, "Five flavors enter the stomach, but the poison does not go away. Over time, it causes injuries and conflicts, and various diseases arise. After eating, the residue and turbidity in the intestine must be cleaned up in time and excreted in order to ensure the physiological function of the body. If the stool is blocked frequently, it will lead to turbid qi disorder, qi and blood disorder and visceral dysfunction, which will produce or induce many diseases, such as headache, toothache, coronary heart disease, hypertension, cerebrovascular accident and intestinal cancer. Constipation not only makes defecation difficult, but also accelerates human aging. For constipation patients, drinking more soup is definitely the most effective relief and treatment method, because it is difficult to dry stool, mainly because the body is short of water, and soup can just replenish water and moisten the intestines. Pineapple bitter melon soup recipe materials: half bitter gourd, half fresh pineapple, 250g ribs, a little cooking wine and salt. Practice: After blanching the ribs, add 1 tablespoon cooking wine and appropriate amount of water and cook for about 20 minutes. Wash bitter gourd, remove seeds and cut into pieces, and peel and cut pineapple for later use. Put bitter gourd and pineapple into the cooked sparerib soup, boil it over high fire and simmer for about 20 minutes. Finally, season with salt. Pineapple bitter melon soup can not only reduce fire, but also improve indigestion and spleen and stomach weakness, and also have a good relieving effect on constipation. Cucumber egg laver soup recipe materials: 1 root cucumber, 1 egg, appropriate amount of laver, white powder, salt and sesame oil. Practice: put water and ginger slices in the pot to boil; Break the eggs and stir well. Shred the laver and put it in the pot. Add cucumber slices. Thicken with white powder, pour in egg liquid, and finally season with salt and sesame oil. Cucumber has the effects of clearing away heat and toxic materials, promoting fluid production to quench thirst, expelling toxin and clearing intestines, and caring skin. Cucumber acid can promote human metabolism and excrete toxins. Cucumber is also rich in vitamins, which can whiten skin and inhibit melanin production.

Ingredients: Pleurotus ostreatus100g, bean sprouts 50g, Chinese cabbage100g, carrot100g, leek, bone soup, salt and pepper. Practice: Wash the vegetables, cut them into pieces or slice them for later use. Add carrot slices into bone soup, bring to a boil over high heat, and turn to low heat 10 minute. Boil Chinese cabbage and Pleurotus ostreatus again in the fire. Reduce the heat and continue to cook 10 minutes. Add bean sprouts and shallots to the fire, turn off the heat after boiling, and finally add salt and pepper to taste. This soup is rich in crude fiber and lignin, which can maintain the water balance in the intestine, absorb excess cholesterol and sugar in the intestine, and excrete them, which is beneficial to prevent constipation, intestinal cancer, arteriosclerosis and diabetes. Chinese medicine has the concept of "prevention before illness", which holds that prevention is better than treatment. Constipation should not only be treated, but also prevented. Eating more coarse grains and root vegetables in daily life is conducive to keeping the stool smooth, because the dietary fiber rich in coarse grains is very helpful for laxative and detoxification, and the cellulose content of root vegetables such as burdock and carrot is also very rich, which has an effect on preventing constipation. Water is essential for softening stool and ensuring intestinal patency. No matter how busy you are at work, drink enough water every day to maintain your body's needs. Rubbing the abdomen can relax qi and blood, promote gastrointestinal smooth muscle tension, promote intestinal peristalsis, enhance digestion and excretion functions, and is conducive to defecation and detoxification. People who don't exercise enough will have slow intestinal peristalsis, which will make the feces stagnate, so more exercise is also a good way to prevent constipation.
