The autumn is more intense with the arrival of Chrysanthemum, and the soughing northwest wind makes the weather more and more cold and dry. The incidence of constipation, hemorrhoids, anal fissures, anal itching and other anorectal diseases is significantly higher. The elderly, in particular, are a high incidence of these diseases. In the autumn, how to do a “intestinal man” it? 70-year-old Auntie Wang usually has constipation, as the weather turns cooler and colder in autumn, her constipation is more serious. Health experts say, eat more vegetables and fruits, help defecate. But after ten days or so, the stool was still dry and could not come out. So, Auntie Wang came to An A Yue’s clinic for treatment. An Yue asked Wang about her diet, and she said she had to eat a lot of vegetables and fruits every day, because her body was fat, she ate very little staple food and meat. Eating more vegetables and fruits increases the intake of dietary fiber, which indeed helps defecation, but it is a big misconception to treat vegetables and fruits as staple foods and rarely eat staple foods such as steamed buns, rice and meat. The process of defecation is extremely complex, and the stool must be formed in sufficient quantity to stimulate the defecation reflex zone to cause a sense of bowel movement. The vegetables and fruits eaten are rich in water, and the amount of residue remaining after the absorption of water by the intestines is very small, so the amount of stool is not so small as to cause a sense of stool and stored in the intestines, which will lead to increased constipation. The right way is to balance the diet and increase the intake of vegetables and fruits appropriately, which will help defecate. Drink water from the tap rather than pure water. The weather is dry in autumn, appropriate more water can prevent intestinal diseases, especially the elderly and people with a history of constipation. But many people feel that the tap water is not clean, plus the conditions are good, drink pure water or mineral water every day. Do not agree to drink water so. It is recommended that people insist on drinking tap water, because tap water is rich in minerals, not only to replenish water, but also to replenish the essential minerals. And pure water and some mineral water does not contain or contain a small amount of mineral content, supplemented by only “water”, is not conducive to intestinal health. The method of drinking water is also a matter of concern. An A Yue suggests that people drink a small amount of water several times a day, rather than a large amount of water after thirst, so that the best replenishment and absorption of water, the gastrointestinal tract also has a protective effect. In addition, drinking water should be adjusted according to the weather changes, different amounts of exercise, such as sweating after exercise to properly add more water. But to remind the elderly, especially elderly men, if suffering from prostate disease, do not drink a lot of water before going to bed, to avoid excessive night urination, too often, affecting the quality of sleep. Each defecation time should be controlled in three or five minutes Some people have intestinal diseases, also related to bad defecation habits. An A Yue pointed out that now, many people have the habit of squatting on the toilet to play with the phone, a stool less than 30 minutes, more than an hour, very harmful. Long squatting is a risk factor for the development of anorectal disease, should try to control the defecation time within 3 to 5 minutes. In addition, the elderly and people with a history of constipation should not take bowel movements as a burden on their minds. “It is not right to “insist on regular and quantitative bowel movements every day. People’s dietary structure and amount of food, including the amount of activity, change every day, so it is impossible to achieve “regular and quantitative defecation”. You should defecate when you have stool, and not force it if you don’t have stool. In addition to the above points, you should also exercise properly. Even if the weather turns cold in autumn, you should still insist on it. Not only is it good for your intestines, but also for your whole body, and it can improve your immunity and prepare you for the winter. ”With a reasonable diet, proper water intake, along with good bowel habits and proper activity, I believe you can become a ‘bowel master’ even in the dry autumn”
