Rich in beneficial bacteria and fiber
If you are constipated, you can go through the day in pain keeping your belly swollen and always wondering if there will be any news. Constipation causes stomach bloating, gas, and pain. Are there foods that are good for constipation? We have compiled foods that help regulate bowel movements presented by the American women’s magazine “Women’s Health”.
Greek yogurt
There are billions of bacteria living in our gut, and when they don’t work properly, symptoms like indigestion, bloating, and bloating occur. The live bacteria (probiotics) in yoghurt (yogurt) add beneficial bacteria to your gut and restore digestive tract health, so it’s helpful for people with diarrhea and constipation.
△ green vegetables
Vegetables like spinach, collard greens and kale are high in fiber. Fiber gives a feeling of fullness, stimulates the intestines and promotes bowel movement. Since the fiber in green vegetables is water soluble, it increases the amount of stool and improves the intestinal environment.
Aloe vera
Aloe is a well-known natural laxative. When an aloe leaf is peeled off, the sticky mucus that comes out adds moisture to the intestines, smoothes the stools and thus makes bowel movements easier. But be careful not to consume too much. Symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting may occur.
△ chia seeds
When you put chia seeds (chia seeds) into water, they turn into a gelatinous state. Chia seeds are a good condensed milk for constipation. The slimy texture of chia seeds mixed with water in the digestive tract makes it easier to pass stool.
△ flax seeds
One tablespoon of flaxseed contains about 3 grams of fiber. Blend flaxseed into smoothies and salads. Thanks to the fiber, the bowel movement will be active. Flaxseeds are also rich in magnesium, which softens stools.
△ Berries
Fresh berries have the advantage of being high in fiber and less prone to gas than apples and pears. Dried apricots, figs, and prunes are also great choices. The fiber and sugar in nuts stimulate bowel movement.
Oils such as olive oil and castor oil
Consuming olive oil, flaxseed oil or castor oil is like lubricating the intestines. The oil will travel down your digestive tract and soften your stool. If you think you’re inhaling olive oil all the time, if you’re sick of it, use it in cooking or as a salad dressing. Just be aware that 1 tablespoon contains 120 calories.
△water
When food stays in the intestines for a long time due to constipation, excess water is absorbed and as a result, the stool becomes hard as a stone. Drink a lot of water. It softens the stool, stimulates the intestines and encourages you to go to the bathroom.
