Stool is composed of food residues and water, so the amount and frequency of bowel movements are closely related to diet. The method of drinking can also achieve the effect of treating constipation.
What should be done for constipation? How to treat constipation?
(1) First, drink more plain water to maintain enough moisture in the intestines to soften the stool, thereby achieving the purpose of treating dry stool.
(2) Secondly, eat more foods with more residue, especially fresh vegetables rich in fiber, such as celery and leek. Because these foods can not only provide the human body with abundant vitamin C, but also provide sufficient food residue to stimulate the intestinal wall, promote intestinal peristalsis, and make it easier for feces to be discharged from the body.
(3) When 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 insufficient food intake is not enough to form mechanical stimulation to the rectal mucosa, patients need to be encouraged to participate more in cultural and sports activities and physical labor to improve appetite and increase food intake. [Meishijie]
