Best home remedies for a healthy poop. Get to know how to cure your constipation at home.
A stool is a normal end result of the digestion process. All substances that are not needed by the body gets excreted when urinating or defecating, in the form of urine and feces or stool.
The shape, smell, and color of stool can vary depending on how your body is at that moment.
Difficulty defecating or constipation can interfere with comfort and daily activities.
Constipation occurs because the feces accumulate and becomes hard which makes the intestine moves more slowly to remove it. It is actually not a condition that you should ignore. Unfortunately, most people do ignore their conditions even though they have not defecated for more than 3 days.
In such a situation if you do not remove the stool immediately from your large intestine, a number of health risks can arise and some can be very dangerous.
People who are at risk of suffering from constipation are usually elderly, obese people, pregnant women, and people who sit a lot for a long time.
Certainely there are variety of basic tablets and syrups available in the market some of which can be consumed even without the doctor's prescription, however, it would be nice if we try natural ways first. Here are some of them.
Mosambi or Lime Juice
Mosambi juice can be a good remedy for constipation because it contains acids that help remove toxins from the intestinal tract. Add a pinch of salt in mosambi juice for faster results with better taste.
Pineapple Juice
Pineapple juice is very good for constipation because it provides fluids and water that can help you defecate more easily.
Drink More Water
You need to increase fluid intake so that the stool can be released more smoothly. Try drinking 1.5 litres of water to 2 litres per day so that constipation can subside.
Consume Fiber-Rich Food
Lack of eating fiber-rich food can cause constipation. To overcome this, add vegetables to your diet, such as potatoes, carrots, spinach, kale, or cabbage during constipation.
Watermelons
Watermelons have laxative properties and are digested very quickly. Your gastric and intestinal passage time is therefore becomes very short.
Chewing the small black kernels of watermelon is also very good because they are extraordinarily rich in minerals, and far too valuable for waste.
By the way, watermelons can also prevent kidney stones, or - if they already exist - help remove them by flushing the kidneys.
Please keep in mind that watermelons should not be combined with other foods and should never be consumed as a dessert. It is best to eat them alone on an empty stomach.
Exercise
Sufficient exercise has also proven itself as a home remedy for constipation. Anyone who moves for half an hour every day - even if it's just a walk - naturally stimulates their bowel movements. In this way, constipation can be combated and prevented.
Stomach Massage
A gentle abdominal massage can also do good, because it helps to activate the intestine.
According to doctors, massage of the abdominal wall stimulates nerve connections in the intestine, which stimulates the natural movement of the intestine. To do this, massage your stomach in a clockwise circular motion. You can also breathe deeply to support your stomach.
Relaxation
Stress is a common trigger for constipation. Yoga, meditation or autogenic training can help calm the sensitive intestine and counteract constipation.
Note:
Seek immediate medical attention if you experience severe pain or defecate accompanied by blood. If you have questions about constipation, consulting your doctor is the best and safest solution for your problem.
