Constipation can be said to be a condition that plagues many people, and if it is not effectively treated, then the body will feel very uncomfortable. Everyone knows the dangers of constipation, but how to improve it is not clear. In addition to medical treatment, it is more important to regulate daily habits, especially diet. So how can diet improve constipation? How to effectively cleanse and detoxify?

1. Improve constipation diet

Constipation is when stool stays in the intestine for too long, resulting in less frequent stools, dry stools, difficulty or incomplete excretion. Generally, the absence of bowel movements for more than two days may indicate the presence of constipation.Constipation should also be included if you have a daily bowel movement but have difficulty with a residual feeling after defecation, or if you have abdominal distention.

1. Prune juice

Studies have shown that prunes are rich in fiber, pectin and some trace elements unique to themselves, so that drinking natural prune juice can effectively promote intestinal peristalsis, increase the frequency of bowel movements, and relieve or prevent constipation. Many scientists have done a lot of research and experiments on the constipation relief function of prunes, although the explanation of the cause is different, but the results have proved that prune juice has a unique effect on relieving constipation, which is incomparable to any other food. For a long time, prune juice has enjoyed the reputation of "human scavenger" in European and American countries. At the same time, because prune juice can promote bowel detoxification, many women in Hong Kong and Taiwan call it "slimming juice".

2. Konjac honey

The konjac is rolled out with a juicer, put it in a pot and cook it over low heat until it is lake-shaped, put it in a container, and mix it with cool honey (honey is cold and hot) and two spoonfuls on an empty stomach every morning. Be sure to stick to it, it can treat constipation that is not cured for a long time.

3. Wake up early with a glass of cold boiled water

Drink cold boiled water as soon as you wake up in the morning. Drinking 2-3 glasses of cold boiled water after waking up in the morning can eliminate constipation.This is because cold water enters the stomach and causes the stomach-large intestine reflex, which initiates peristalsis of the large intestine. When constipation occurs, water is absorbed by the body, causing the stool to become dry and hard, and drinking cold boiled water can replenish the insufficient water in the stool.

4. Eat pears after meals

Pears are sweet, crispy and juicy, and are a fruit that many people love. Pears are rich in vitamins A, B, C, D, and E. The vitamin C content of a pear is 10% of the "recommended daily intake", and the potassium content is also quite high. Like apples, it also contains oxidants that keep the body's cells and tissues healthy. Although pears are very sweet, they are very low in calories and fat, making them ideal for people who love sweetness and are afraid of fat.

Pears contain 3 grams of fiber per 100 grams (mostly insoluble fiber), it is insoluble fiber, which can help prevent constipation and digestive diseases, purify the kidneys, clean the intestines, people with long-term constipation should eat more pears, and help prevent colon and rectal cancer.

5. Rubbing the abdomen effectively treats constipation

The specific method of rubbing the abdomen is: empty the urine after getting up, and drink 300-500 ml of cold boiled water. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, relax your body, place the palm of your right hand on your lower right abdomen, place the palm of your left hand on the back of your right hand, massage from the lower abdomen to the right hypochondrium, push it to the left hypochondrium, and then massage down to the left lower abdomen.Massage 30~50 times in a clockwise direction, no need to stress too much during the massage, just gently massage. It may not be effective at first, but as long as you stick to this method, you can see the effect after 10 days. Insist on doing it once a day, and after 30 days, you can completely achieve the effect of normal bowel movement on your own.

6. Kajie Movement

Cartier exercise is an exercise that is enthusiastically recommended by foreign doctors to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles, which is very helpful for bowel movements. When doing Kajie exercises, you should relax your abdominal muscles, leg muscles and femoral muscles, like the kind of contraction action that you control not to fart or urinate, insist on 10 seconds or more each time, and then relax for 10 seconds, so that the contraction and relaxation are counted as one round for a total of three times, and you should exercise 10 rounds a day. As the muscles are strengthened, the number of rounds can also be increased. When the symptoms of unfavorable bowel movements are controlled, the number of rounds can not increase, but you should continue to do at least one round a day, or three times a week, so that the muscle groups continue to be strong.

7. Vinegar Therapy:

30 ml of rice vinegar (about 2 tablespoons), 2 tablespoons of honey, stir 3-5 times the water, and drink after each meal.

Vinegar can promote bowel movements, but drinking it directly can hurt the stomach and duodenum, so it should be diluted and drunk. People with severe constipation can increase the dose.
