The most common cause of constipation is bad eating habits, because the food intake is not much or the food is too fine and there is not enough dietary fiber, so there is too little food residue; Insufficient drinking water and slow intestinal peristalsis lead to continuous reabsorption of water and electrolytes from feces; Lack of exercise makes intestinal peristalsis insufficient in the body; Due to various reasons, the pressure of fecal weight discharged into rectum can't reach the normal value of stimulating nerve terminal receptors (the pressure of 25 ~ 50g fecal weight is normal value), and defecation reflex can't be formed. Stool is composed of food residue and water, so the frequency and frequency of stool are closely related to diet. Dietotherapy can also achieve the effect of treating constipation.

(1) First, drink plenty of boiled water to keep enough water in the intestinal cavity to soften the stool, so as to achieve the purpose of treating dry stool.

(2) Secondly, eat more foods with more dregs, especially fresh vegetables with more cellulose, such as celery and leeks. Because this kind of food can not only supply the human body with rich vitamin C, but also provide enough food residues, stimulate the intestinal wall, accelerate intestinal peristalsis, and make feces easily excreted.

(3) If necessary, some gas-producing foods, such as onions, soybeans and radishes, can be used to stimulate intestinal peristalsis.

If the small amount of stool caused by eating too little is not enough to stimulate the rectal mucosa mechanically, patients should be encouraged to participate in cultural and sports activities and physical labor to increase their appetite and food intake.

(4) Constipated patients with normal weight and low blood lipid can eat more oily food. People with high blood lipids can add more vegetable oil when cooking, and eat more fresh fruits when conditions permit, such as apples and pears. In addition, honey and cassia seed also have laxative effects. Generally speaking, irritating foods such as pepper, strong tea and alcohol are not conducive to defecation and should not be eaten.
