Diet And Constipation
July 4, 2008
Constipation is defined as infrequent bowel movements that are hard and difficult to pass. Constipation may occur chronically or occasionally. It may result from a diet too low in fiber or fluid, from inadequate activity, from a medical condition, or from medications.
Diets to Prevent Constipation
People who eat low fibrous food and high in fats such as eggs, cheese and meat in their diet may cause with constipation. People having problem of constipation should avoid eating such things.
Many researches concludes that increase in intake of fluid is not as much helpful to get rid of constipation but many people report some relief from their constipation if they drink fluids such as water and juice and avoid dehydration. Liquids add fluid to the colon and bulk to stools, making bowel movements softer and easier to pass. People who have problems with constipation should try to drink liquids every day.
Liquids that contain caffeine, such as coffee and cola drinks will worsen one’s symptoms by causing dehydration. Alcohol is another beverage that causes dehydration. It is important to drink fluids that hydrate the body, especially when consuming caffeine containing drinks or alcoholic beverages.
Juicing is a fantastic way of getting essential foods in a fast acting and refreshing way. A variety of delicious juices can be made at home if you have a juicing machine, alternatively fresh juices can be purchased. Avoid those made from concentrate and try to always buy organic juices. Prune juice is top of the list as a laxative, but apple-pear, asparagus and potato are also good.
Pop corn is a wonderful chocking hazard for younger kids as it is helpful to prevent from constipation.
