What to do if you have bloating and constipation

Belly distension and constipation are very common in daily life. Many women have had this experience. Generally speaking, short-term constipation will not have much impact on physical health. However, if constipation is not improved for a long time, it will cause toxins and waste in the human body to be unable to be excreted in time, which can easily lead to illness. So what should we do with bloating and constipation?

What to do if you have bloating and constipation?

1. Exercise more

2. Go to the toilet on time

Some people are afraid of defecation due to anal fissures or hemorrhoids, and endure not going to the toilet, which makes the feces even drier. Some people have irregular feces due to work and irregular diet. When they feel like going to the toilet, they cannot stop the work at hand in time, but endure the inconvenience. Over time, they do not go to the toilet on time and fail to excrete feces in time, which will inevitably cause constipation to become increasingly severe. It is difficult to develop the habit of defecating after getting up in the morning. Regular bowel movements are very important for preventing and treating constipation.

3. Eat more whole grains

As we all know, dietary fiber has the function of absorbing water and softening feces, and it is also the main component of feces. It can promote intestinal muscle activity and push feces down quickly. These dietary fibers are mainly found in coarse grains. Eating too little coarse grains will result in less food fiber residue in the intestines, less stool, too little effective intestinal function, slower intestinal activity, stool staying in the intestines for too long, and excessive water absorption by the intestines, resulting in dry stool and constipation.

4. Bananas are recommended

Eating bananas can prevent and treat constipation. Because bananas contain a lot of dietary fiber, they absorb water like a sponge, adding moisture to the stool, making the stool soft, facilitating excretion, and reducing the time that stool stays in the large intestine. In addition, dietary fiber can promote the proliferation of lactic acid bacteria in the large intestine, which can stimulate the intestinal tract, accelerate intestinal activity, and promote defecation.

5. Supplement acidophilus

Acidophilus is a very important flora in the large intestine. If it can survive successfully in the intestine, constipation caused by various factors can be eliminated. The Jinshuangqi oral liquid that is commonly seen in shopping malls today is this type of preparation. It is different from laxatives in that it takes a long time to take effect, usually taking weeks or months to see the effect. When the constipation is gone, it means that the acidophilus has successfully reproduced, so even if you stop taking it, constipation will no longer occur.
