First, the food to eliminate constipation
1, prune juice
According to American medical research, constipation is mostly caused by the lack of active peristalsis in the intestine. Natural prune juice contains water-soluble natural pectin fiber and insoluble plant fiber. The combination of these two fibers can effectively increase intestinal peristalsis and increase the number of defecation. Meanwhile, prune juice can synthesize xylitol and sorbitol in vivo. Xylitol can accelerate the emptying of stomach and reduce the peristalsis time of intestine. Sorbitol can relax and soothe the stomach, regulate the intestinal flora and help soften the excreta in the intestine. Therefore, the combination of these natural substances in prune juice has a special effect of quickly relieving constipation.
2, light salt water
Under normal circumstances, after dinner, food residues stay in the intestines for a long time. If you don't drink water for one night, bacteria and molds in the intestines will ferment and produce harmful substances. Some people often feel queasy or have a bad smell in their mouths after getting up in the morning, which is caused by rotten food residues in their stomachs. After getting up in the morning, drinking a cup of warm and light salt water on an empty stomach can clean the residue, disinfect and sterilize, prevent constipation caused by excessive absorption of water by the colon, prevent chronic gastritis and improve autoimmune function, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone. Special note: it is best to drink 500ml of light salt water at a time (ordinary spoon can put110 edible salt), and the water temperature is between 20℃ and 30℃. People with hypoglycemia can also drink a cup of warm honey water at night, which will prevent constipation more obviously.
3. Sweet potato
As far as the content of vitamin E is concerned, the content of vitamin E in sweet potato is twice that of brown rice, and it also contains a lot of potassium which is indispensable to overcome adult diseases. The yellow variety of sweet potato is rich in vitamin B and carotene, which is very effective in preventing cancer.
Sweet potato is also rich in C cellulose, which can eliminate cholesterol and overcome intractable constipation. And even if you eat too much, you won't have diarrhea.
4.bananas
Bananas are rich in potassium ions, which can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis. Eating bananas has an effect on mechanical constipation (caused by slow peristalsis of gastrointestinal smooth muscle) and constipation caused by physical deficiency disorder, but we must pay attention to scientific diet. First of all, we must grasp a degree and eat 1 to 2 yuan a day. It can be eaten as a snack between meals, and it is not recommended to eat bananas on an empty stomach, which may cause certain harm to the gastrointestinal tract after forming a habit. In addition, it can help other foods to eat together, such as adding a little diced banana or honey when cooking porridge, which has a good effect on relieving constipation.
5. honey
Pure honey is a natural nutrient with many functions (honey can be used to lose weight on an empty stomach). It is mild in nature, moistening the lungs and intestines, which not only helps to increase the detoxification ability of the liver, but also has the effect of strengthening the stomach and helping digestion. Its heat is still very low. Honey has excellent sterilization and detoxification effect, which helps to discharge the waste accumulated in the body, improve constipation, improve the metabolic function of the whole body, and let those substances that cannot be consumed well accumulate in the body. Honey contains high-quality sugar, vitamins and minerals, which can burn human energy. High-quality sugar enters the blood and becomes energy, which quickly eliminates fatigue and relieves hunger. Using honey to lose weight is cheap and good, especially effective for people who are obese due to constipation. Therefore, it is simple, effective and safe to lose weight with honey. If you can take it on time and stick to it for a long time, it can also make rough skin tender and moist.
6. adzuki bean
Red beans contain a lot of fiber that has a certain curative effect on constipation and potassium that has diuretic effect. Both of these ingredients can excrete unnecessary components of the body such as cholesterol and salt, so they are regarded as having detoxification effects.
Red bean soup can be used to treat edema caused by kidney, heart, liver, malnutrition and inflammation. After grinding, it is mixed with egg white or honey or vinegar for external application to treat parotitis and all boils. The decoction of Radix Astragali and Radix Codonopsis has a certain curative effect on qi and blood weakness, facial edema, chronic nephritis edema and pregnancy edema caused by anemia, which can not only promote diuresis and reduce swelling, but also nourish nutrition.
(7) Yogurt
Yogurt does have a certain weight loss effect, mainly because it contains a large number of active lactic acid bacteria, which can effectively regulate the balance of flora in the body, promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, and thus relieve constipation. There is a certain relationship between long-term constipation and weight gain. Then yogurt has a strong feeling of fullness. Drinking a cup when you are a little hungry can effectively alleviate your urgent appetite, thus reducing the amount of food for the next meal.
Second, the way to relieve constipation
1, bad eating habits
What are the causes of constipation? Because the food intake is small or too fine, the diet lacks vegetables, cereals, beans and other high-cellulose foods; Coarse grains containing "bran" can no longer appear on the dining table of modern families, but mainly meat products, milk and desserts. Because the food is too fine, there is not enough dietary fiber, the food residue is too little, the amount of stool is small, and the peristalsis of colon can not effectively push the stool forward, resulting in constipation.
2, relying too much on laxatives and other means to help defecation.
Some people don't defecate for a day, or the defecation is dry, so they can't wait to use laxatives to help defecate, and often take laxatives. Over time, the dependence and tolerance on it may lead to the decrease of the sensitivity of rectal reflex, so that although feces enter, it is not enough to cause effective nerve impulses, so that defecation reflex can not be excited and cause constipation.
3. Bad living habits
What causes constipation? Bad living habits lead to dehydration or insufficient drinking water, inhibit defecation reflex, delay defecation time, make feces stay in the intestine for too long and dry, and lead to constipation. Sedentary, lack of exercise makes the intestinal peristalsis in the body insufficient, or continues to be highly nervous. It can also cause abnormal peristalsis and spasmodic contraction of the colon, causing constipation.
5, bad defecation habits, artificially inhibit defecation.
Most people have had this experience: when defecating, they temporarily hold back because they have something urgent at hand, but when they are done, they naturally stop defecating. This situation has been repeated for a long time. After a long time, the rectum and anus are not so sensitive to the stimulation of fecal lumps. If you tolerate it, constipation will come to you.
