What can pregnant women eat to treat constipation?

Constipation is not a disease. It mainly refers to a decrease in the number of bowel movements, a small amount of drier stool, and more difficulty in defecation. It may be caused by eating food that makes you irritated. Therefore, you should focus on light food in your daily diet. It may also be caused by psychological barriers. Severe cases may also be caused by lesions of the rectum or anus, so if constipation persists for a long time, you should go to the hospital for examination in time.

If you are constipated, try the following foods:

Bananas can promote gastrointestinal motility, moisten the intestines and promote bowel movements, moisten the lungs and relieve coughs, clear away heat and detoxify, aid digestion and nourish the body.

Sweet potatoes contain large amounts of cellulose and pectin that are not easily destroyed by digestive enzymes. They can stimulate the secretion of digestive juice and gastrointestinal motility, thereby playing a laxative role.

It is best to add a little sugarcane to honey when drinking it, which is also very good for laxative and intestinal moistening effects.

Drinking a cup of Centennial Changqing Tea every night can help cleanse the intestines and detoxify, and will also help with bowel movements the next morning.

While taking dietary therapy, increase exercise and pay attention to the harm caused by sitting for a long time.

Although constipation is not a very serious disease, it can cause a lot of trouble to work and life, and can also put a great psychological burden on patients. Eat more crude fiber foods and don’t eat too refined foods. Eating more fruits, especially bananas, on an empty stomach is very helpful for constipation. You can also drink yogurt to help gastrointestinal motility and promote digestion. Try to relax and you will feel better slowly.
