What causes constipation in girls?

Many women suffer from obesity, body shape changes, facial pigmentation and other symptoms due to constipation. It can be seen that constipation is not good for the human body. There are more girls who like to eat fruits than those who like to eat rice, and even more girls like to lose weight by dieting, but many girls still suffer from symptoms of constipation. What causes constipation in girls? In fact, some small habits of girls, such as dieting to lose weight and not liking to drink water, may lead to constipation.

1. Constipation or eating too little

I believe many people will think this is nonsense, thinking that if you don’t eat much, where does the feces come from, how can it cause constipation? Don’t worry, listen to the editor slowly:

If you eat too little, the amount of food entering your body will be much less. After the food is absorbed in the small intestine, the remaining residue will enter the large intestine. At this time, the water in the remaining residue will be absorbed by the large intestine and then remain there in a fixed form. However, because people eat less, the remaining residue is not large enough to come into contact with the colon wall well, thus failing to stimulate the colon to move. In this way, the stool will naturally not be able to be discharged, and constipation will occur over time.

In addition, eating less means that the body's nutritional intake will be reduced, such as the intake of potassium, calcium, and magnesium. This leads to a decrease in the body's muscle tension. If the muscles do not have sufficient tension, the intestines will not be able to contract normally. In other words, the large intestine will not be able to perform its optimal contraction function. In this way, feces will accumulate in the intestines. If they cannot be discharged, constipation will occur over time.

Therefore, if women find themselves constipated, they should look for the reasons within themselves. See if you are eating too little. Don't go on a diet just to get a good figure. You won't be able to have a healthy and beautiful figure by losing weight like this. In order to cure constipation, women should think of more ways and not think about using drugs. Although drugs are effective, they contain toxins to some extent. If they are not used properly, not only will they fail to cure constipation, but more toxins will accumulate in the body, which is really not worth the loss.

2. Women’s way to treat constipation

1. Get up early and drink water

Many people suffer from constipation because they don’t like to drink water. This is because intestinal peristalsis requires the support of water. If there is not enough water in the body, the intestines and feces will become dry. This makes it difficult for feces to be excreted and instead they accumulate in the body. Especially at night, when the human body falls asleep and activity decreases, food digestion slows down, making it easy for food residues to remain in the intestines, increasing the accumulation of feces in the intestines.

Therefore, it is recommended that women drink some warm water (with honey or salt) after getting up early, so as to moisturize the intestines, make the intestines slippery, and thus better excrete feces. If you stick to it, it will have a good effect on treating constipation.

2. Fall in love with eating apples

Apples are very valuable fruits. It is recommended that women eat an apple after getting up early and washing up. If you insist on eating it every day, you will find that it becomes normal to go to the toilet early in the morning, and bowel movements are no longer uncomfortable and become quite smooth. That's because apples contain pectin, which becomes a gel when it absorbs water and softens stool when it encounters it. When the stool is no longer dry and becomes soft, it can naturally be discharged more easily through intestinal peristalsis, thus regulating constipation problems.

3. Eat three meals a day

As mentioned above, eating less can also lead to constipation, so women should ensure that they eat three meals a day regularly. In addition to setting a fixed time, you also need to be careful about the choice of food. For example, you can eat more whole grains, vegetables and other foods rich in crude fiber. Eating them can aid digestion and promote intestinal motility.

In addition, the editor reminds you to eat breakfast, because the intestines are in a resting state at night, and eating breakfast can help start the intestinal system faster, and then start to function and work well.
