How to get rid of constipation?

Such an unpleasant condition as constipation is caused by a lack of water in the human body. The intestines can hardly cope with solid, dense enough contents. The feces move very poorly, and the intestines are defecated with great difficulty.

Therefore, it is important to adhere to a certain rhythm and amount of fluid intake.

According to medicine, for normal bowel function, a man should drink at least 3 liters of fluid per day, and a woman should not drink less than 2.2 liters.

A little secret: if you have constipation, try to avoid coffee and alcoholic beverages. These are strong enough diuretics, and diuretics dehydrate the body due to frequent urination. With dehydration, constipation occurs.

To replenish fluid in the body, there are other excellent means: vegetable and fruit juices, broths, herbal decoctions and teas. Some juices are mild, natural laxatives. To prevent constipation naturally, you need to eat as much fiber as possible, but do not overdo it, as too much fiber can cause both vomiting and diarrhea. Optimally, 20-35 grams of fiber per day

Rich in fiber:

• berries and fruits, especially those with skin, such as apples and grapes,
• dark green leafy vegetables such as collard greens, mustard leaves, beets, and chard,
• vegetables such as broccoli, spinach, carrots, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, artichoke and peas,
• beans and other legumes, turkish beans, chickpeas, pinto, lima, white beans, and lentils and asparagus beans.
