Constipation is a very common problem. In fact, almost all people have suffered more or less from constipation. It is often because the body is too elaborate or too simple for recipes, lack of water, nervousness, taking The functional response made by drugs or seasonal changes, only in rare cases, is caused by organic diseases of the gastrointestinal tract itself. In general, when constipation occurs, the following measures can be taken:

　　 1. Drink plenty of water in a short time. A basic function of the large intestine is to recover the water in the feces. The more water in the body is, the more water the colon recovers, the drier the drier, and the more severe the constipation, so drink plenty of water. Usually drink more than 3000 ml of water every day. When constipation occurs, drinking a large amount of water in a short period of time may cause some of the water to exceed the maximum absorption capacity of the small intestine, reach the large intestine, directly soften the stool, and increase the pressure in the large intestine to promote the elimination of stool.

　　 2. Consciously eat more staple food at every meal, coarser grains are better. Many people with constipation do not dare to eat more. In fact, the less they eat, the less feces, the lower the pressure in the large intestine, and the more serious the constipation, so they should eat more when they are constipated. Staple food (especially coarse grains such as corn, millet, oatmeal) contains more dietary fiber, the latter is one of the main components of feces. Increasing the intake of dietary fiber, increasing the volume of fecal mass in the large intestine, and stimulating the peristalsis of the large intestine are one of the fundamental methods to relieve constipation.

　　 3. Eat a lot of vegetables, fresh raw is best. Vegetables are also rich in dietary fiber. Ingest a large amount of vegetables (such as more than 1 kg) at a time, especially those with high fiber content, such as shallots, small cabbages, small carrots, celery, spinach, pumpkin, leek, chrysanthemum, Kidney beans, onions, rape and various wild vegetables can effectively relieve constipation.

　　 4. There are some foods that contain more dietary fiber, such as bananas, sweet potatoes, radishes, mushrooms, fungus, kelp, konjac, yam, burdock, etc.

　　 5. Use yogurt instead of milk. Yogurt (lactic acid bacteria drinks are also available) contains live lactic acid bacteria, which is the main force of normal beneficial bacteria in the large intestine. Supplementing lactic acid bacteria can improve the characteristics of feces and promote fecal discharge. Certain live bacteria preparations (medicines or health products) can also play the same role.

　　 6. Do not eat irritating foods such as garlic and chili during constipation, and do not drink tea, coffee and carbonated beverages, to reduce the stress on the large intestine.

　　 7. Long time Physical activity or relatively intense exercise is also an effective way to relieve constipation.

　　 8. Avoid mental stress. In addition to mental stress caused by specific causes, constipation itself can cause a lot of mental stress, thereby exacerbating constipation. It should be recognized that constipation is a very common symptom, just like fever and cold. In general, it is not directly related to serious illnesses such as bowel cancer. Of course, if constipation is particularly stubborn or constipation and diarrhea alternate, you must go to the hospital to see a doctor.

　　9. Some laxative drugs such as kaiselu, fruit guide tablets, senna, rhubarb, etc. can also be used for short-term emergency.
