Spring is the beginning of all things, giving people new hope. But at the same time, diseases hidden in the cold winter will also occur during this period, bringing pain to people. Zhengzhou Anus and Intestine Hospital will introduce you to the following knowledge: What should I eat for constipation? Wish you a speedy recovery!
MMs who are on a diet more or less have problems with constipation. To succeed in losing weight, it is important to treat constipation. So what should we do about constipation? What should I eat for constipation? Don't worry, below I will recommend seven foods that treat constipation, so you don't have to worry about what to eat for constipation, and can improve constipation through dietary methods.
Unreasonable dietary structure is the main cause of current constipation. A food structure high in fat, protein, and carbohydrates has become the mainstay of the younger generation's diet; while vitamins, minerals, fiber, and other nutrients are extremely unbalanced or severely deficient. Coarse grains have moved away from the main urban diet, and coarse fiber has become a scarce nutrient in our intestines. And because there is very little coarse fiber, constipation has become a common disease among urban working groups.
Constipation is not a disease, but it is much more terrifying than any common disease; as long as we don't go to the bathroom for more than a day, at 37 degrees Celsius (like summer's 37-degree high temperature), our old feces will produce more than 40 harmful toxins, which will be reabsorbed into our blood circulation system, poisoning our corresponding body organs, and causing hundreds of diseases.
How can we keep constipation away from our health? Good living habits and healthy eating habits are the only way to get rid of it. Diseases enter through the mouth, and in the environment we are currently in, diseases can enter our bodies without any resistance. Using scientific dietary methods to control our mouths that like to eat or eat randomly, let our stomachs truly become a nutritional base for our bodies to obtain comprehensive and balanced nutrients.
Use seven food weapons to build a nutritional base for our stomachs, providing our intestines with a healthy, high-quality, and balanced nutritional environment for normal digestion, orderly metabolism, comprehensive absorption, and smooth residue discharge.
The first food weapon: Clean water
Drinking 1-2 cups of about 500 milliliters of high-quality mineral water every morning after getting up helps intestinal peristalsis; at the same time, food residues must contain enough moisture to be excreted from the colon.
The second food weapon: Brown rice and soybeans
Our current refined white rice, refined white flour, and other processed foods put our intestines in a passive state. Eating brown rice, corn, whole wheat, and other original grains as a health-conscious habit and forming a dietary habit is highly beneficial to our physical health. Special mention should also be made of legumes such as soybeans, red beans, green beans, and peas; they contain abundant fiber and high-quality plant proteins and vitamins needed by the human body. Among them, soybeans also contain abundant oligosaccharides, which are the most essential food for the intestinal guardian - bifidobacteria. When the amount of bifidobacteria in the intestine exceeds harmful bacteria, our food residues will be orderly decomposed under the wrapping of fiber, and the residues will be discharged on time and in quantity, allowing our intestines to no longer be harmed by self-toxins.
The third food weapon: High-fiber foods
Any food fiber is the food of beneficial bacteria; currently, among all edible plants, the unit edible fiber content of Plantago seed husk (also known as Psyllium husk) is as high as 86%; when eaten with corresponding foods, it will combine with water in the intestines, making stools swell, and cleaning off the old feces attached to the walls of the large intestine like a mop, thoroughly and cleanly dragging them out.
The fourth food weapon: Yogurt
It promotes the proliferation of beneficial bacteria and reduces the harm of residual toxins.
The fifth food weapon: Seaweed
The sticky substances contained in seaweed help defecation; these sticky substances are mainly formed by soluble dietary fibers in seaweed in water; seaweed, wakame, and kelp are the most useful.
The sixth food weapon: Apples
It can treat both constipation and diarrhea; pectin in apples is a strongly hydrophilic soluble fiber, which is beneficial for intestinal cleanliness and nutrition; the best way to eat apples is to eat them with the skin on. Other fruits include bananas and kiwis.
The seventh food weapon: All foods rich in oligosaccharides
Oligosaccharide foods are those containing a lot of low-polymeric sugars, which are the most essential food for the beneficial bacteria in our intestines, bifidobacteria. Such as soybeans, honey, onions, asparagus, etc.
The above are scientifically dietary foods that control our mouths. Eating more of these kinds of foods in three meals a day will keep our intestines in a healthy state; otherwise, even if our stomachs are full, the nutrition of all our body cells will be in an extremely unbalanced state, and constipation will destroy our bodies like a disease.
For people who now have plenty of clothing and food, regular dieting and occasional fasting can make our overburdened stomachs relax, give our tired hearts, livers, spleens, lungs, and brains leisure time, and balance tension and relaxation for health. Our life individuals are like this, and so are our organs, tissues, and cells.
Following the laws of nature, being in harmony with heaven and earth, and being in resonance with the universe, our lives will be as long-lived and virtuous as heaven and earth. Our bodies will also be harmonious and healthy in our daily lives.
