Every autumn and winter, the hospital’s gastroenterology or anorectal surgery constipation patients significantly increased. This is because of the dry weather in autumn and winter, the human body is relatively less activity, metabolism is slower, resulting in too little water in the stool and gastrointestinal power is not enough, so more likely to cause constipation. Autumn and winter constipation treatment in addition to the correct choice of relevant drugs under the guidance of doctors, first of all, to establish a good lifestyle. It is well known that one of the major causes of constipation is too little food residue and water in the stool. Dietary fiber can absorb and retain water, making stools soft; it can also stimulate the secretion of digestive juices and intestinal peristalsis, facilitating stool excretion and playing a role in the prevention and treatment of constipation. Fruits containing more dietary fiber are more effective in the treatment of constipation, such as kiwi, watermelon, bananas, grapefruit, oranges, etc. Secondly, you should also eat more coarse fiber food, such as leeks, celery, mushrooms, fungus, barley, beans, carrots, citrus, flax, oats and oat bran and other foods are rich in coarse fiber, these foods can stimulate the intestinal wall to speed up intestinal peristalsis, so that the stool is easy to discharge the body. In addition, food containing dietary fiber is easy to eat in the process of creating a sense of satiety, inhibit the absorption of cholesterol in food, effective prevention of obesity, diabetes, atherosclerosis and colorectal cancer and other diseases. Drink more water The stool is composed of food residues and water, so the number and frequency of stool is closely related to water, drink more water can keep enough water in the intestinal cavity to soften the stool, so as to achieve the purpose of treating dry stool. But it should be noted that not all “water” is good for more, such as those carbonated drinks such as cola and soda that produce gas, and coffee that has a strong diuretic effect because it will absorb water in the body and play a counterproductive role, so these “water” Try to drink as little as possible. Proper exercise Proper exercise can strengthen the abdominal muscle contraction force, promote gastrointestinal motility and increase defecation power. Therefore, constipation patients in winter can be used for walking, jogging, gymnastics and other exercises to promote defecation, if there is no time, you can do a simple turn waist exercise in the morning after waking up, the waist and abdomen in the pivotal position of the human body, the impact on the upper and lower digestive tract is great.
