Constipation ? Foods that help bowel movements
After common cold and cough, constipation is one of the most common self-claimed problems for many, the survey noted.
Constipation is emerging to be one of the most common medical problem. Experts blame the diet and lifestyle habits for the rampant growth. People who are not taking enough water and fibre or leading a sedantary lifestyle are most likely to suffer from the condition. Fibre adds bulk to the stool which regulates the bowel movement.
Various lifestyle disorders like diabetes, hypertension are also associated with symptoms of constipation, the survey noted.
"The study succeeds in highlighting the issue existing around constipation. One of the key aspects being how people neglect the problem and delay seeking medical help. In fact, constipation can be completely avoided by leading a healthy life style, eating right, embracing physical exercises, having ample of water (1litre / every 20 kg weight) to keep body hydrated. However, anyone can face the issue but it should be managed or treated early to avoid complications later on,"a coloproctologist said.
Here are some foods that may help you rectify the bowel movement.
1. Berries
Berries are rich in fiber. Raspberries provide 8 grams of fiber in one cup.You can have them topped over your oatmeal for breakfast or even with a bowl of yogurt which has a soothing effect on your stomach. Some of the Indian berries like mulberries, strawberries, jamun ans cape gooseberries are also good options.
2. Oranges
Oranges are full of Vitamin C, which helps enhance bowel regularity. Oranges are also rich in fibre, naringenin, a flavonoid that researchers found can work like a laxative.
3. Almonds
Almonds are rich in heart-healthy fats, protein and fibers. The high magnesium content gets our intestines to work. It neutralizes the stomach acid and moves the stool through intestines. They too act as a perfect portable snack and you can also add it to your breakfast smoothie.
4. Wheat bran
Studies have shown that wheat bran can relieve constipation and improve digestion. The outer layer of the wheat kernel comprises of a lot of fiber force. You can sprinkle it over your oatmeal, whip up a batch of bran muffins, or eat a bowl of all-bran cereal.
Beans- fresh beans, as well as red/ kidney beans, white beans, garbanzo all not only provide protein but also fibre. Dark green leafy vegetables- spinach, methi, sarson, amaranth, drumstick leaves are healthy providing enough fibre, vitamins, calcium and minerals.It is always better to eat a whole fruit than drink fruit juice, as eating a fruit gives us fibre and a feeling of fullness and less calories.
