Having a healthy body is what most of us are looking for in this day and age. However, despite the increasing importance we place on it, the number of people we suffer from is gradually increasing. This is to a large extent due to an incorrect lifestyle, such as irregular and unhealthy diet, irregular work and rest, frequent late nights, mood swings and anxiety. These unhealthy lifestyles can lead to the emergence of many diseases, including frequent constipation.
There are many reasons for constipation, which may be due to sitting for a long time, the lack of protein in the body leads to intestinal fatigue and slow peristalsis, or the lack of fiber or water in the body. When the body lacks fiber, it will not only make feces more dry, but also lead to slow intestinal peristalsis, which will cause constipation.
If we want to improve constipation in our daily life, we can also eat more vegetables rich in cellulose. Cellulose can promote intestinal peristalsis, promote pancreatic secretion of digestive enzymes, help gastrointestinal digestion, and select vegetables with more crude fiber to effectively improve constipation.
Leeks
Leeks contain more crude fibre, and the stems and leaves of leeks are tougher, not easily digested and absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract. They can increase the volume of stools, promote peristalsis and prevent constipation, and are a very good food for people with constipation due to haemorrhoids
Spinach
Spinach contains a large amount of crude vegetable fibre, which has the effect of promoting intestinal peristalsis, facilitating bowel movement and promoting pancreatic secretion to aid digestion.
Cabbage
Cabbage contains a lot of crude fibre, which promotes intestinal peristalsis, aids digestion, promotes bowel movement and dilutes intestinal toxins, which can treat constipation and help with nutrient absorption. However, cabbage is on the cold side and should not be eaten in large quantities.
Oilseed rape
Oilseed rape contains a large amount of plant fibre, which promotes intestinal peristalsis, increases the volume of faeces and shortens the time they stay in the intestinal cavity, thus treating many kinds of constipation and preventing intestinal tumours.
Cucumber
Cucumber contains fine cellulose, which can promote intestinal peristalsis, help the excretion of stool in the body, and help "clean" the garbage in the body. Eating it regularly helps prevent kidney stones.
Sweet potato
Sweet potato is rich in food fiber, while the vitamin content is particularly high. It can create new cells in the intestine and promote metabolism. When the sweet potato enters the intestine, it can clean up the waste in the intestine, collect the toxin and waste, so that it can be smoothly discharged from the body
In daily diet, eating more vegetables is beneficial to intestinal health. It can also supplement microelements, vitamins, etc. of the body, which is conducive to nutrient absorption. Many fresh fruits also contain plant fiber, such as apples and bananas, which can also promote defecation. Yogurt and honey, as well as proper abdominal massage, strengthen exercise, and also facilitate defecation.
