Constipation - How To Prevent It
ConstipationPreventing constipation from happening can be easy and hard. It is really dependent on how weak or strong your digestion system is. If your digestion system is strong, you can prevent constipation with little effort and some changes to your diet. However, if your digestion system is a bit weaker than a normal person, you would have to make big changes to your diet.
What does it mean to have a weak digestion system? Well, let me explain this by telling you what a strong digestion system is like first. A person with a strong digestive system is able to poop everyday regularly even when he or she is on a low fiber diet. As we all know, fiber is an important factor for a healthy colon. However, people with a strong digestive function system does not really need that much fiber in their diet.
Now, a person with a weak digestive function system would be someone who needs about 30 grams of fiber a day in order to poop smoothly. In other words, in order to prevent constipation, you simply need to make some changes to your diet by eating less bad food and more good food.
The question is, what foods can cause constipation and what foods can prevent constipation? The foods that can cause constipation are soft drinks, chocolate, chips, white rice, white bread, McDonald burgers, fries, and others. The foods that can prevent constipation are brown rice, oatmeal, high fiber cereal, potatoes, apples, oranges, dried apricots, broccoli, and many vegetables.
You simply need to eat more food that are good at fighting away constipation. Another great method would be to drink black coffee on an empty stomach in the morning. It will make you poop within twenty minutes. It works almost every time. You have to remember to do it in the morning right after waking up. Otherwise this method would not work as good. And try to drink the coffee as fast as you can. You only need to drink about one or two cups. The bitter the coffee, the better the results you would get.
