Constipation is not new to modern people who live an increasingly fast-paced life, and we often experience abnormal bowel movements due to momentary life changes or stress; however, if constipation lasts for too long, it can be extremely harmful to human health. First of all, constipation can cause vomiting and nutritional disorders due to a lack of access to the lower gastrointestinal tract, which can lead to poor skin, dizziness, loss of appetite, and a feeling of fatigue. Secondly, long-term constipation will cause abdominal pressure to rise, resulting in urine accumulation in the body, colon disease, rectal prolapse, hemorrhoids and anal fissure, as well as depression and irritability, fidgeting, for women will appear on the belly fat, affecting the body shape. Many people must be curious to ask, why am I constipated? The most common factor in the formation of constipation is the lack of elasticity of the colon muscle, peristalsis is very poor, so that the stool moves very slowly or even “traffic jam”, can not be discharged; worse, the longer the stool to stay, the more water is absorbed by the colon, it will be more and more hard like a stone, so that defecation is even more difficult. Therefore, many people are eager to relieve the pain of constipation, and at the same time by the compulsion of some advertisements on television and newspapers, began to use laxatives in a hurry. Unbeknownst to them, the abuse of laxatives will not only lead to an imbalance of electrolytes in the body, but also weaken the intestinal function, making the intestinal wall muscles weak, thus creating a dependence on the drug; and as the user increases the dosage, the constipation condition is getting worse and worse.
