Even the best foods cannot fully compensate for some habits. To have a stable effect:
Movement
Regular activity:
-
enhances blood circulation
-
stimulates peristalsis
-
reduces stress – and it also affects the intestines
Useful options:
-
fast walking
-
swimming
-
light strength training
-
exercise at home
Many people say that after about two months of more regular workouts and a more active day, problems with chronic constipation significantly decrease – if, of course, they don’t give up after the first week.
Sleep routine and hygiene
Lack of sleep and constant stress affect:
-
hormones
-
the nervous system
-
digestion
Try to:
-
you go to bed at the same time
-
reduce screens at least an hour before bed
-
include light walks or stretching in the evening
The gut loves consistency.
Constipation is not just an inconvenience, but a signal from the body that something in your lifestyle and diet is wrong.
Instead of covering up symptoms with pills and quick fixes, it’s better to:
-
pay attention to your diet
-
add more fiber, water, and healthy fats
-
include movement and a more regular routine
-
limit the abuse of coffee, alcohol and heavy foods
-
do not take strong laxatives for a long time without medical supervision
Your intestines are like a loyal friend – if you take care of them, they will thank you with ease and regularity. However, if you ignore them, they can become a constant source of discomfort.
If, despite changes in diet and lifestyle, the problem persists, do not delay consulting a gastroenterologist. A good specialist is more valuable than hundreds of tips on the Internet, even if this advice is presented with a sense of humor and funny pictures,.i.m.a.d.e.
