Our way of life, our diet often make the intestines bad. The most common problems are constipation. What to do if you don't want to abuse medicine, but you need to get out of a difficult situation. In this case, food will help!
Products that normalize the work of the gastrointestinal tract. By adding them to the diet, you can forget about constipation.
Greens, dill, cilantro, parsley, basil, celery and rhubarb. These plants consist almost entirely of the fiber and trace elements necessary for the work of the intestines. In addition, there are many anthraglycosides in the stem of rhubarb, which enhance intestinal peristalsis.
Coffee also activates the work of the intestines, thanks to its ability to give a general tone to the body. Add to this the choleretic properties of the drink, which also prevent constipation. Melon also drives bile, but you need to eat it separately from all other products.
Natural fermented milk products are prebiotics. They help the intestinal microflora to work properly. It is also good for the intestines.
Bran, cabbage, beets, prunes, apples and other vegetables and fruits containing a large amount of fiber and pectin (a substance that helps to quickly remove waste products from the intestines). These products should decorate your table every day. Apples, prunes and melons, which we wrote about above, are the richest in pectin.
A sufficient amount of water is an important factor for the normal functioning of the intestines. With a lack of water in the body, the intestines lose tone, peristalsis decreases, and fecal stagnation occurs, which leads to long-term constipation. One and a half liters of water per day will solve the problem!
