Severe constipation is a very serious problem that puzzles people. In addition to constipation, if constipation is serious, it is basically related to the diet structure. If constipation is too serious, you should go to the hospital in time. Of course, the treatment of constipation mainly depends on conditioning in daily life, as does severe constipation.
First, adjust the diet structure and eat more meals.
Modern people often ignore the importance of dietary fiber to health, and the diet is generally too fine. Long-term fine diet can easily lead to constipation. This is also one of the reasons why more and more people have constipation problems. In daily diet, only enough dietary fiber can stimulate intestinal peristalsis, so that feces can be excreted smoothly and normally.
As we all know, dietary fiber can promote the perfect operation of digestive system, increase the peristalsis of stomach wall, dredge intestines and stomach, and improve and prevent constipation. Therefore, only taking enough dietary fiber is an important measure to improve constipation. So which foods are rich in dietary fiber?
① Wheat germ and oatmeal
Wheat germ and oatmeal are both natural and highly nutritious cereal components rich in dietary fiber. The research results of 20 1 1 show that increasing the intake of wheat germ, oats and other grains can not only prevent constipation, but also significantly improve gastrointestinal health, blood lipids and blood sugar. Wheat germ, in particular, not only has the title of "plant bird's nest" in nutritional value, but also has the title of "gastrointestinal protector" in medicinal value.
20 15 Yu Renwen, then a senior nutritionist in the General Hospital of Beijing Military Region, introduced in detail the efficacy and function of wheat germ on human gastrointestinal health in the program of Beijing Satellite TV [Yangshengtang], and strongly emphasized that middle-aged and elderly people and gastrointestinal tract are not human beings, so we must increase the intake of wheat germ, which is not only rich in nutritional value, but also can improve and prevent constipation.
② Corn and sweet potato
Corn and sweet potato also belong to coarse grains, rich in dietary fiber, which can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis and make the stool smooth. Therefore, eating more sweet potatoes and corn can also improve constipation. But in terms of nutritional value, sweet potato and corn are far less than wheat germ and oats.
③ Vegetables and fruits
Eating more fruits and vegetables can relieve constipation, so eat more fruits and vegetables, such as celery and apples, which also contain a lot of dietary fiber, which can play a good role in relieving constipation.
Second, develop good habits of work and rest.
Regular work and rest can make the function of digestive system in a state of dynamic balance, which is not only conducive to the healthy "operation" of various functions of the body, but also conducive to intestinal peristalsis and healthy defecation.
Third, develop good defecation habits.
Regular defecation, don't delay. If the defecation time is often delayed and the good defecation law is destroyed, the defecation reflex can be weakened and constipation can be caused. People who are often prone to constipation must pay attention to the reasonable arrangement of defecation time and develop good defecation habits every time they go to the toilet.
Fourth, drink plenty of water and exercise regularly.
Drink plenty of water to get enough water in the intestine, which can help the intestinal contents to pass through and prevent the feces from being too dry and hard. Exercise can promote human metabolism and stimulate the peristalsis of gastrointestinal smooth muscle. Such as jogging, brisk walking, swimming, aerobic exercise, etc. These exercises can promote intestinal peristalsis and help to improve constipation.
Generally speaking, constipation can be improved by paying attention to diet, eating more dietary fiber, drinking more water, exercising properly, developing good defecation habits, and maintaining a good mental state and regular work and rest.
