With the change of people’s diet, the number of people with persistent constipation is increasing. For middle-aged and elderly people, the danger of constipation is especially serious. When the stool is not discharged smoothly, excessive force to hold the breath will increase the abdominal pressure, blood pressure also rises at the same time, which can induce angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, cerebral hemorrhage, sudden death from stroke, etc.. In recent years, constipation caused by cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease attacks have increased year by year. According to the data, about 10% of people with severe constipation suffer from colon cancer, which may be due to constipation and intestinal carcinogens can not be discharged for a long time. Constipation of harmful substances in the intestine may also interfere with brain function, highlighted by memory loss, distraction, slow thinking and so on. As many people know, eating more vegetables and fruits can prevent and treat constipation. However, many elderly people with constipation symptoms, usually pay attention to eat more vegetables and fruits, but the constipation symptoms have not improved significantly, this is why? Geriatricians have conducted more in-depth research on the problem of constipation in the elderly, and found that the causes of constipation in the elderly are complex and diverse, constipation caused by eating less vegetables and fruits only accounts for a minority, most of the elderly constipation is the result of a variety of factors acting together. A. Slow intestinal motility. With age, the frequency of intestinal peristalsis of the elderly decreases, and the water in the intestine is relatively reduced, resulting in dry stools and constipation. B, excessive contraction of anal muscles. Some elderly people around the anus muscle tension contraction, it is difficult to produce stool, so that the stool stays in the intestine for a long time caused by constipation. C, poor mental health. Mental tension, depression, most of the elderly have constipation symptoms, which is due to neurological disorders. Some chronic diseases, such as hypothyroidism, neurasthenia, etc. can appear constipation symptoms. D. Drug factors. Many elderly people suffer from cardiovascular disease, the need for long-term drug treatment, and some anti-hypertensive drugs can cause constipation. E, lack of water in the body. Older people have reduced thirst sensory function, and do not feel thirsty when there is a lack of water in the body, which reduces water in the intestines of the elderly, resulting in dry stools. Therefore, prevention and control of constipation in the elderly, only by dietary regimen is not enough, but if you rely on taking laxatives or laxatives, although it can relieve the momentary emergency, but can not fundamentally improve the cause of constipation – intestinal flora imbalance, but also due to excessive overdraft intestinal dynamics, so that the intestinal mucosa stress decreases, resulting in dependence on drugs, and after stopping the drug appears Persistent constipation. The clinical appearance of “intestinal tea sequelae” is due to this, but will cause more harm to the body, take some health care products that promote intestinal function and repair intestinal mucosa. Such as the special benefit bacteria, it can remove the stool, so that intestinal peristalsis accelerated, the amount of bowel movements increased, special benefit bacteria has a strong role in the decomposition of fat, can discharge the dark brown oily stool. It can make the intestinal flora balance and discharge banana stool on time, which can effectively assist in the treatment of constipation.
