Modern people's living standards have improved, and they eat a lot of meat, and they are easy to be entangled in constipation if they don't pay attention to it.
What should I do if I have constipation?At this time, I believe that many friends will want to eat some laxative food, such as bananas, leeks, etc., and the following will recommend several vegetables that can help laxatives
Sweet potato leaves
Sweet potato leaves are rich in dietary fiber, which can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis and improve constipation. Dietary fiber is a carbohydrate that cannot be digested by the human body, and it acts like an "intestinal mop" in the intestines, which can increase the volume of stool and promote intestinal peristalsis, thereby helping to improve constipation.
Dietary fiber is divided into two categories: soluble fiber and insoluble fiber. Sweet potato leaves mainly contain insoluble fiber, which is not easily broken down in the intestines, which can increase the hardness and volume of stool, stimulate intestinal peristalsis, help shorten the residence time of food residues in the intestines, and promote bowel movements.
Black fungus
From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, fungus, cool and sweet, returns to the lungs, liver, and stomach meridians, and has the effects of nourishing yin and moisturizing dryness, clearing heat and detoxifying, benefiting the stomach and intestines, cooling blood and stopping bleeding, replenishing qi and nourishing blood, calming the nerves, etc., and is suitable for the assistance of symptoms such as yin deficiency and fire, constipation, bleeding, palpitations, insomnia, etc.
The dietary fiber in black fungus is mainly colloidal agaric polysaccharides, which can absorb water and expand in the intestines to form a gelatinous substance, which helps lubricate the intestines and makes it easier for stool to pass through. In addition, fungus polysaccharides can also promote the growth of probiotics in the intestines, help maintain the balance of the intestinal microbial environment, and further improve constipation.
Eggplant
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that eggplant is cool and belongs to the large intestine meridian, which has the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, moistening the intestines and laxative, and is suitable for constipation. However, it should be noted that although eggplant has these effects, it cannot be used as a medicine for constipation, but as part of dietary therapy to help improve symptoms. For severe constipation, it is necessary to combine other ** means or consult a doctor.
