Cure for constipation
Causes and cure of constipation
The colon among the majority of animals and persons living a natural life is free from obstructions and is evacuated by frequent natural passages. However with the modern sedentary lifestyle and unnatural habits, normal evacuations from the colon are disturbed. This makes it important for us to find an effective and quick cure for constipation.
The most important causes of constipation are a disregard of the call to pass motion and an improper diet. When the rectum is full, it sends signals to the intestine through the central nervous system for their movements and if this is repeatedly ignored, it gradually leads to failure of the rectum to signal the urge.
In modern conditions, the rush to workplace or school or to catch the morning train may interfere with the habit of regular defecation. The sensation of the call of nature once voluntarily suppressed may not easily return again throughout the day. Moreover many schools and offices are inadequately provided with necessary conveniences and once the habit of regular defecation is broken, the person becomes constipated.
A diet with no roughage and fibers predisposes one to constipation. The diet should contain a reasonable amount non absorbable material or fibers to form a bulk which acts as a stimulus for the intestinal movements. It is one of the best cure for constiption.
Highly spicy foodstuffs such as pickles and hot curries containing chilies and condiments may stimulate the bowel to cause a complete evacuation but this is followed by inactivity of the intestines and constipation. Alcohol, tea, coffee also act in just the same way. Similarly purgatives also stimulate the intestines to cause their evacuation and this is also followed by constipation. This is also onsidered as a good cure for constipation. Foods which have little residue such as meat, fish and cheese and especially a diet which is composed almost exclusively of milk are often productive of troublesome constipation by failing to provide sufficient stimulus to the normal movement of intestines.
Other causes of constipation are mental stress, lack of exercise, lack of adequate water intake, abnormality of gastrointestinal tract, adverse effects of drugs, drying of stool, obstruction of the intestines and severe illness in which food intake is too small.
