Can I eat Spanish mackerel if I have constipation?

Most fish are warm or neutral in nature, and have the effects of diuresis, replenishing qi and aiding digestion. For most people, eating fish two or three times a week will not cause constipation.

1. There is a type of constipation that is caused by eating too little fiber-containing foods such as vegetables, fruits, and whole grains, which is a type of asthenic constipation. If such patients want to eat fish without constipation, in addition to eating more of the above-mentioned foods, they should also eat more gas-producing substances such as raw onions, raw garlic or raw cucumbers, etc.

2. There is a type of constipation that is caused by eating too many spices or fiber-containing foods such as vegetables, fruits, and coarse grains and too little oily foods. It is a spasmodic constipation. I guess you put too much spices (hot ingredients) when cooking the fish.

After understanding the above situation, you can eat more or less of other things while eating fish, and you will not suffer from constipation after eating fish.

No matter what the situation is, in order to prevent constipation, you should pay more attention to drinking water and exercising more, which is also beneficial for treating constipation.

Adjustment of daily routine

Go to the toilet on time

Everyone has various habits, and defecation is no exception. You have to defecate at a certain time. If you often delay defecation and destroy good defecation habits, the defecation reflex will be weakened and constipation will be caused. Therefore, do not artificially control the feeling of defecation. People who often suffer from constipation must pay attention to arranging bowel movements at reasonable times, go to the toilet at the appointed time, and develop good bowel habits. This can help you develop a stable biological clock and prevent stool from accumulating and hardening. If you really can't defecate, try practicing to induce the urge to defecate. Over time, it will naturally become a habit. When defecating, try to relax as much as possible and do not push hard. Take 2 or 3 deep breaths first and then push a little harder, and the defecation will be natural and smooth.

Regular exercise

Moderate exercise is very beneficial for improving constipation. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "lying down for a long time will damage the qi, and sitting for a long time will damage the flesh." Lack of exercise can cause organ dysfunction and induce constipation. Western medicine also believes that weak abdominal muscles and diaphragm are one of the factors causing constipation. Therefore, it is recommended that patients with constipation should increase exercise appropriately, such as running, walking, gymnastics and other forms of sports. Patients can choose appropriate exercise methods according to their own conditions and perform self-abdominal massage frequently to improve blood circulation, promote gastrointestinal motility and recovery from constipation. Of course, aerobic exercises such as brisk walking, jogging, swimming, and mountain climbing that can enhance physical fitness and muscle strength are the best choices for patients with constipation.
