If you can’t send what you need to send out for a long time, you will feel frustrated and even feel worse. I kept going to the bathroom and sitting on the toilet and giving it strength, but he still has no intention of coming out.
Some people have stool every day, while others only see it two or three times a week, but if the time that the stool cannot be discharged out of the body is prolonged, it can cause various health problems. Why are you doing this all of a sudden? U.S. health and food information media ‘Eat This, Not That’ quoted the contents disclosed by the Cleveland Clinic and pointed out that constipation may be a sign that there is a problem with the usual lifestyle or excessive stress.
lack of momentum
Exercise promotes intestinal movement, which reduces the time it takes for food to pass through the large intestine. This prevents too much water from escaping from the stool and helps the stool to pass easily. It is not an easy task to pass hard stools out of the body due to lack of moisture.
In particular, in case of overeating, it is helpful to promote bowel movement by doing some vigorous exercise about an hour after eating. Increasing movement in daily life or taking a break and doing light exercise for 10 to 15 minutes can be a great help in expelling old stools.
Lack of fiber, too much irritating food
A diet low in fiber can also cause constipation. Because gut microbes are affected by diet and lifestyle, it is important to consume an average of about 25 to 28 grams of fiber per day. Instead of mouth-watering salt, sugar, and fat-laden snacks, opt for healthy snacks that are high in probiotics or dietary fiber. Energy bars that allow you to eat kombucha, yogurt, or various nuts such as almonds, oats, and chia seeds at once can also be good choices. Eating too many foods that stimulate the intestines, such as spices, caffeine, or carbonated drinks, can also cause severe constipation.
not drinking enough water
‘Water’ does not fall out of habits related to maintaining health. Lack of fluid is one of the main causes of constipation, and having a hard time passing stools is a sign that we are not drinking enough water. It is good to drink water every day for regular bowel movements. Watermelon, which is rich in water, and fruits such as oranges and grapefruit, which provide both fiber and water, are good alternatives.
excessive stress
If you suddenly feel constipated, check if you are under stress from work. Stress can significantly affect intestinal function by altering the release of neurotransmitters in the intestine. Mindfulness meditation, deep breathing, yoga, exercise, and spending time with your pet can help.
An underlying disease may be the cause
In addition to bad lifestyle or stress, an underlying disease may be the cause of constipation. Examples include irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and hypothyroidism. In this case, you should receive the necessary treatment after consulting a specialist.
