How to solve the problem of constipation during the journey?

During travel, some people have temporary constipation due to disruptions in their lifestyle and disruptions in their eating habits. The stool stays in the large intestine for a long time, as the water is constantly absorbed by the intestinal wall, the stool is getting drier and drier, at which point it becomes more difficult to defecate, forming a vicious circle. If you have hemorrhoids, you can also aggravate or recur them. Here to teach you some reliable “tips”, never journey constipation trouble. 1, try to maintain the original habits of life all the activities of the human body, including diet and living, have a certain cycle of regularity. And this cyclical change coincides with the time change of day and night. For example, three meals a day, when the time will be hungry, after eating will be full; once into the night, people want to sleep, and the dawn will automatically wake up, this law is called the biological clock phenomenon. Regular bowel movements are one of the manifestations of the biological clock. If your original habit is to get up every morning after the bowel movement, you have to squeeze in time to complete this “task” before breakfast anyway. 2, defecation is a “time of day” If the trip disrupts your habits, you can also use the two easiest time to defecate to re-establish defecation habits. Human beings have evolved, leaving behind two defecation “golden hour”: one is the morning wake up the “risen reflex”; the other is after eating breakfast “stomach – colon reflex”. In the morning, from lying to sitting to standing, the brain will send a message to the colon, so that the intestines peristaltic, the intestines will produce a huge peristaltic wave, to help you push out the stool. At this point, you do not need to exert too much force, the stool can be smoothly expelled. You should make a good habit of getting up every morning and squatting in the toilet for 5 minutes, even if you can’t pull it out, you should keep going. Breakfast is the earliest meal of the day, after eating, the stomach will notify the large intestine to quickly exercise, creating another bowel movement “time of day”. 3, eat more dregs of food, pay attention to the supplemental water Therefore, where the tendency of constipation, in travel should consciously eat some dregs of food, such as a variety of vegetables, fruits. This kind of food is rich in vitamin C and fiber, which is urgently needed in travel life. Fiber is an important factor in forming stool and promoting bowel movement. Fiber can stimulate the intestinal tract to accelerate peristalsis, can increase the water in the fecal mass, let the fecal mass expand, stimulate intestinal peristalsis, and make bowel movement smooth. At the same time, have to drink enough water, dietary fiber to play the role of laxative, or fiber “block intestine”, will make constipation more serious. Travel activities sweat a lot, timely replenishment of water is very important. People with constipation habits, in addition to travel with enough water, it is best to drink a glass of light salt water every morning, not only conducive to laxative, but also long-distance trekking needs. But drinking more tea is not conducive to laxative. 4, dietary considerations (1) travel inevitably some people like to eat hot things, such as chili, coffee, barbecue, fried food, easy to “dry”, resulting in a lack of water in the stool, causing constipation, constipation habits of people in the travel should try to avoid such food. (2) If the intake of food is too fine, absorbed by the small intestine, there is not much residue left. Fat can make the stool soft and smooth, while the intestinal movement is accelerated due to fatty acid stimulation of the intestine. If fat is consumed in moderate amounts in high-fiber foods, it can improve bowel movements. (3) The diet structure should be diversified, with a mixture of coarse and fine grains, meat and vegetables, and at the same time appropriately increase the amount of fatty foods (milk, peanuts, sesame, walnuts, pine nuts, etc.). Breakfast to eat some fatty foods, such as sesame, nuts, etc., more or less can help to soft stool, reduce constipation trouble. 5, do not hold the intention to travel to the toilet, because of the crowd or sometimes need ninja on the way, but hold back the “intention” will make the stool loss of water to dry, aggravating constipation. The large intestine peristalsis three or four times a day, pushing waste from the colon to the rectum. When the stool comes to the rectum, the rectum expands and produces a bowel movement. If you often hold back the urge to defecate, the stool will have to return to the rectum or S-shaped colon, which will disrupt bowel habits. The total length of the large intestine is about 1.5 meters, which is as tall as a person, and is responsible for absorbing sodium and water. If the stool stays in the large intestine for too long without being expelled, the water will be absorbed and become granular, making it more difficult to be expelled. Also having some bowel lubricant solution or a gentle laxative is an effective means of solving an immediate problem.
