4 Ways to eliminate constipation
Normalization of nutrition:
It is not necessary to take medications to normalize stool at home. A properly formulated diet contributes to the rapid elimination of constipation in adults and children:
- Eating foods that contain a large amount of fiber and other plant fibers (fresh carrots, beets, cabbage, zucchini, spinach, dried fruits, pearl barley). Beans should not be consumed – despite their high fiber content, they tend to produce gas, which can worsen bowel discomfort.
- The diet should contain foods that contain unsaturated fatty acids (nuts, fish oil, olive oil).
- Acceptance of fermented milk products contributes to the passage of constipation. It is especially effective to drink fresh kefir. It has been proven that to normalize the stool in 30%, it is enough just to drink a glass of kefir at night every day.
- Adults should drink at least 2 liters of fluid a day. It is the fluid that enters the body that is able to give the feces in the intestines a soft consistency. Therefore, you need to drink as much as possible, but do not abuse sugary carbonated drinks.
All these measures are effective only with long-term use and regular adherence. If acute constipation is causing pain, you need to know what to do in order to urgently eliminate it at home.
