Do you still need to eat if you’re constipated?

It is necessary to eat normally when you are constipated.
The main cause of constipation is the lack of intestinal peristalsis, which causes prolonged defecation cycle, insufficient bowel movement, and difficulty in defecation. When constipation, you need to eat normally, and the peristaltic movement of food in the intestines can promote the bowel reflex to accelerate defecation.
However, it is necessary to adjust the dietary structure during constipation, moderately increase the proportion of roughage intake (such as beans, whole grains), more intake of food rich in dietary fiber (such as celery), more vegetables and fruits, and so on. In life also need to pay attention to drink more water, appropriate exercise, avoid eating spicy and stimulating food.
If constipation persists without relief, you should take the initiative to go to a regular hospital and seek medical advice for treatment.
