Lack of dietary fiber in the diet is a common cause of constipation, dietary fiber in food belongs to carbohydrates, similar to starch and sugar, is not easy to digest polysaccharides, mainly from the cell wall of plants, such as cellulose, pectin, lignin, etc. Dietary fiber can be divided into soluble dietary fiber and insoluble dietary fiber, insoluble dietary fiber is the basic structure of feces, they enter the intestine all the way to absorb too much intestinal metabolic waste, and continue to absorb water to expand, so that the stool becomes soft, the amount of stool increases, stimulates intestinal peristalsis, promotes defecation, eat more grains, mixed beans, fresh vegetables and fruits and other high dietary fiber foods, supplement enough dietary fiber, is the basis of constipation.
