Don't do five things when it's cold in winter

Five things not to do in winter

Don’t be a sedentary person

Sitting for a long time will not only deteriorate blood circulation and cause muscle soreness, but also weaken gastrointestinal function and relax gastrointestinal muscles, resulting in poor gastrointestinal motility and weak defecation ability, leading to constipation. Especially for female friends, the chance of constipation after sitting for a long time is higher, because relatively speaking, women's abdominal muscles have a smaller ability to deliver stool, and the insufficient pushing ability of the stomach and intestines increases the possibility of constipation. Therefore, you cannot sit still for a long time. After sitting for a period of time, you should move around appropriately.

Don't be a water-deprived person

Water is very important to life, but many people do not realize the importance of drinking water and often only drink when they are thirsty. When you feel thirsty, your body has already lost a lot of water and is already dehydrated. If you do not drink water in moderation at the right time or do not like to drink water, and wait until you are thirsty or can't stand it before drinking, your intestines will be dry and dehydrated, and the intestinal contents will not be easily discharged, causing constipation.

Recommendations for drinking water properly: Generally, ensure you drink at least 2 liters of water a day. First, drink a glass of warm water when you wake up in the morning, which helps the kidneys and liver detoxify and facilitates bowel movements. Second, during the daytime work, do not forget to drink water because of busy work. Do not wait until you are thirsty to drink water. Drink water intermittently between every hour. This can not only replenish lost water, but also help relax tension. Third, it is recommended to drink water 1 to half an hour before going to bed at night to avoid affecting sleep or causing eye swelling due to drinking too much water.

Don’t be a frequent “sculptor”

Those who often "shape" refer to women who often wear tight tights or shapewear. Although this type of clothing can give women a more beautiful figure, the tightness and pressure of the clothes will affect the body's regulatory functions and can easily cause constipation.

Don't be overly tired

When the human body is overworked, it will affect the spleen and stomach functions, which will lead to poor transmission function of the large intestine and cause constipation. In addition, overwork can cause mental stress, inhibit intestinal motility and secretion of digestive juices, leading to indigestion, which naturally causes constipation.

Those who do not have good bowel habits

Due to work or habit, many people do not go to the toilet immediately when they are in an emergency, but endure it again and again. In fact, holding back the urge to defecate is extremely harmful to the body. Although it solves the problem of time pressure or provides temporary convenience, it affects your health and gradually leads to habitual constipation.

In addition, constipation can also be prevented through daily diet, such as increasing the amount of crude fiber food. Crude fiber or high-fiber foods include wheat bran or brown rice, vegetables, propolis, and fruits rich in pectin such as mangoes and bananas.
