Do you have constipation? In modern medical history, constipation is the source of all diseases. There is a common saying that “if you pass it, you don’t feel pain, and if you feel pain, you don’t feel it.” Director Chen believes that due to changes in modern people’s lifestyles and living environments, such as sedentary, lack of exercise, overeating, and liver disorders are one of the causes of constipation. Therefore, the prevention and treatment of constipation starts with oneself, developing good living habits and eating reasonably:
1. Develop the habit of regular defecation. Set a time every day, consciously and regularly defecate, don’t tolerate “poop”, once a day is considered normal;
2. Adhere to walking, jogging, swimming, and other moderate exercise and clockwise abdominal massage. Proper exercise is very beneficial to the body;
3. Keep your mind relaxed. Some people have the desire to defecate, but they just can’t pass because they are nervous, the anus is open and the intestines contract. It is recommended to do “rectal biofeedback treatment” and try to go to public places to relax your mood;
4. pay attention to dietary conditioning. Traditional Chinese medicine treats constipation by adjusting the diet according to the individual’s constitution, taking tonic for deficiency, and cooling for heat. Some people think that eating fried food causes constipation and that eating cold food solves it, which is not correct. In daily life, most constipation is caused by hard feces. You can eat some oily foods such as sesame seeds and walnuts to soften the stool; probiotics can promote intestinal movement, ensure intestinal function, and facilitate defecation. You can try it appropriately; Although taro can promote defecation, it has the effect of flatulence. It is not recommended to eat more. It is better to eat less greasy fried food and cold food in life.
5. Anti-autumn dryness: Many people know that “autumn dryness hurts the lungs”, so in autumn it is easy to feel an itchy mouth and throat, cough, and nosebleeds. In the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, it is also believed that “the lungs and the large intestine are connected on the outside and the inside”. Autumn dryness hurts the lungs and in turn, hurts the large intestine. If the lung qi is not ventilated, it will directly affect the peristalsis of the large intestine, which will easily cause constipation. To prevent or alleviate constipation caused by autumn dryness, you can use some medicinal materials that nourish yin and moisten the lungs, such as raw land, crocodile, radix, northern apricot, etc. After cooking, add warm milk and drink it together, there will be an obvious improvement role, so remember to insist on drinking oh.
6. keep the body hydrated: drink plenty of water and eat fruits with flat nature: the easiest way to prevent dryness in autumn is to actively replenish water. Under normal circumstances, the human skin evaporates more than 600 ml of water every day, and the water exhaled from the nasal cavity is about 300 ml. In autumn, make up for these losses in time. Drink at least 500 ml of water every day to maintain the normal humidity of the lungs and respiratory tract. Water is the treasure of a woman’s life. Everyone can’t lack water, so we must keep the body hydrated.
In addition, people can also eat more fruits and vegetables, which can also improve constipation. At this time, the weather is not so hot, so it is no longer suitable to eat cold fruits, and because the weather is relatively dry, it is not suitable to eat hot fruits. It is most suitable to eat flat fruits, such as apples and dragon fruits. The choice of vegetables is best to choose seasonal vegetables instead of out-of-season vegetables. There are more melons in this season. Of course, you can also eat more foods rich in dietary fiber, such as oatmeal, mushrooms, sweet potatoes, corn, etc., which can increase the amount of food residue and easily produce a defecation reflex.
7. Promote defecation: seize the fleeting desire to defecate: for most patients with constipation, no medicine is needed, and adjustments should be made to diet and living habits; exercise more; develop good defecation habits, and do not hold back, Sometimes the desire to defecate is fleeting, and you may not have the desire to defecate within a day; press the abdomen with your hands during defecation to increase abdominal pressure and promote defecation. It is meant to last only a few minutes, once missed it is difficult to catch again. Defecation movement is affected by the cerebral cortex, and consciousness can enhance or inhibit defecation. People often suppress the desire to defecate, so that the rectum gradually loses its normal sensitivity to the stimulation of feces pressure. In addition, the feces stay in the large intestine for too long, absorb too much water and become dry and hard, making defecation more difficult, so today You must pay attention to what you said.
Eight. When the effect of basic treatment is not good, you can try to take some laxative drugs. There are many types of laxatives, which can be roughly divided into bulking laxatives, osmotic laxatives, and stimulant laxatives. Stimulant laxatives such as senna leaves and fruit guide tablets, these laxatives strongly stimulate intestinal peristalsis and cause defecation. This type of laxative can cause damage to intestinal motility, and it is irreversible, prone to dependence, and difficult to stop, so it is not recommended to take it. Swelling laxatives can make the stool soft and rich in water and easy to pass. Representative drugs such as psyllium, cellulose, etc.
