Many people are tormented by constipation. People today have a refined diet, do less exercise, and are more prone to constipation. Almost everyone has suffered from constipation at some time.
The daily feeling of calling something out of the body is sometimes painful and can exceed our tolerance. To get rid of constipation, one should learn more about it.
Constipation is the difficulty in eliminating feces from the body, resulting in motions often less than three times per week. The hard and dry form of feces results in extra energy and time expelling, feeling feces still stuck in the anus and rectum, and even the need for manual assistance.
There are many reasons for constipation. The first one is laziness. Some people are too lazy to go to the toilet. The feces inside become harder, which causes people to be unwilling to defecate. The accumulation of wastes may reach several kilograms in the abdomen, resulting in constipation.
The fragility of the spleen and stomach can also be a cause of constipation. The poor peristaltic movement of the stomach and intestines would make for the slow motion of feces, resulting in the lack of urge for defecation.
Drinking water insufficiently is one of the causes of constipation. Since water can soften feces, they become harder when less water is available. Intake of delicate foods which lacks dietary fibers would likely lead to constipation.
Constipation can lead to damage to the mucous lining of the anus, resulting in ulcers and bleeding. The broken lining exacerbates laceration of the anus and hemorrhoid, which in turn causes proctitis and, in the worst cases, colorectal cancer.
Feces are the waste products of the human body, releasing toxins that accumulate in the rectum. Once the toxicity is absorbed into the body, the skin looks lusterless with the appearance of spots and acne. One then looks older. Constipation may accompany Hiccupping, bitter taste, bad breath, and the releasing wind.
In the worst scenario, one would have an urge to vomit. Since feces block the intestinal tracks, the food swallowed cannot go down further. The food accumulated in the digestive ways causes the desire to vomit. It is the severity of constipation due to blockage of the intestines.
To treat constipation, one can prepare a drink of Chinese hemp seeds, arborvitae seeds, pine nuts, Bunge cherry seeds, and others, which provide lubricating effects for the intestines. One spoonful of powder of any blend of seeds mixed with a spoonful of honey in a glass of warm water should be sufficient. The drink is tasty, provides nourishing food, and can relieve constipation.
Suppose one gets severe constipation and wants to lose weight simultaneously, brew and drink tea with 37.5 grams (1.3 ounces) of Cassia seeds daily. The tea can reduce the oil droplets in the blood and promote the removal of waste products, resulting in weight loss.
One with constipation should exercise regularly. Physical exercise is not only good for stretching body muscles and tendons but also for peristaltic movement. Drink more water which will soften the feces. Furthermore, water can help to remove waste products from the body.
