Rich in beneficial bacteria and fiber
If you are constipated, you can spend the day in pain holding a bloated belly and always wondering if news will come. Constipation causes swelling in the stomach, gas and pain. Are there any foods that are good for relieving constipation? We have compiled foods that help smooth bowel movements introduced by the American women’s magazine ‘Women’s Health’.
The Greek yogurt
There are billions of bacteria living in our intestines, and when they don’t function properly, symptoms such as indigestion, bloating, and bloating occur. The live bacteria (probiotics) in yogurt (yogurt) add beneficial bacteria to the intestines and restore the digestive tract to health, so it is helpful for people with diarrhea as well as constipation.
△green vegetables
Vegetables like spinach, kale, and cabbage are high in fiber. Fiber gives a feeling of fullness, stimulates the intestines, and promotes bowel movement. Because the fiber in green vegetables is water-soluble, it increases the amount of stool and improves the intestinal environment.
The 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 stool, and thus facilitates bowel movements. However, be careful not to consume too much. Symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting may occur.
△chia seeds
When you place chia seeds (chia seeds) in water, they turn into a jelly state. Chia seeds are good condensed milk for constipation. The slimy texture of chia seeds mixed with water in the digestive tract makes it easier to pass stools.
△ flaxseed
One tablespoon of flaxseed contains regarding 3 grams of fiber. Mix flax seeds into smoothies and salads. Thanks to fiber, bowel movement will be active. Flax seeds are also rich in magnesium, which softens the stool.
△ Berries
Fresh berries have the advantage of being high in fiber and not as prone to gas as apples and pears. Dried apricots, figs, and dried prunes are also excellent choices. The fiber and sugar in dried fruits stimulate intestinal movement.
Oils such as olive oil and castor oil
Consuming olive oil, flaxseed oil, or castor oil is like lubricating your 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, excessive water is absorbed, and as a result, the stool becomes hard like a stone. Drink plenty of water. It softens the stool, stimulates the intestines, and encourages you to go to the bathroom.
