Maybe everyone has had this experience, that is, whenever you go out, you often eat and drink a lot of the same, but when you go to the toilet, you can't pull out your face, and this constipated state may last for one or two days or even five or six days, which is a bit scary. At this time, people often have anxiety because they can't defecate in time, and even their own travel experience will be affected. According to incomplete statistics, when going out, one in two people will have constipation. This kind of out-of-the-house situation includes, but is not limited to, traveling, traveling with friends, and even going out with couples.
What makes many people feel strange is that they usually have very regular and smooth bowel movements, why do they have "constipation" when they go out? Obviously eating and drinking the same does not fall or even eat more than usual, why is it "not pulled out" when it comes to squatting in the toilet?
The real cause of constipation – an imbalance in the intestinal flora
In the process of traveling, like people, the intestines also leave from their most familiar environments, and along the way they are exposed to a large number of microorganisms that have never been exposed, which changes the balance of the intestinal flora in a short period of time, in short, due to changes in the living environment and dietary rules, the change in the law of bowel movements. Probably many people do not know, not only people have emotions, our intestines also have their own "emotions", our intestines are like children, extremely dependent on the familiar environment, it knows what you like to eat, what to drink, when you like to go to the toilet, it knows everything about you. But going out for a long trip disrupts all the habits that the gut has developed. At this time, the intestines will "stir up emotions", and the efficiency of "pushing poop" is much less than before.
More seriously, the "invasion" of some strange microorganisms has quietly changed the balance of the intestinal flora. Even sometimes, fast food, processed foods, and sugary drinks on the road nourish the rapid reproduction of "bad bacteria", further disrupting the growth environment of the intestinal flora. The metabolites produced by these "bad bacteria" are constantly accumulating, which directly reduces the contraction capacity of the intestinal muscles. Generally speaking, when the poop successfully reaches the end of the large intestine, the intestinal nerve will issue instructions to the intestinal muscles - continue to speed up the intestinal peristalsis, "push" the poop forward, because the contraction ability of the intestines has been reduced at this time, and the intestinal muscles are more than enough to carry out the brain's commands at this time. Therefore, even if many people feel "bento", sitting on the toilet for a long time and working hard, they can at most discharge a little hard piece.
It seems that despite some shyness, the situation of "travel constipation" is still very common in general. So, what can we do to prevent such bad things from happening as much as possible while we're out?
First, drink plenty of water.
In the process of going out to play, we must drink more water, especially in the journey to eat big fish and meat and other greasy and spicy food, we must pay more attention to drinking water, even if it is our familiar convenience device - dietary fiber, only after absorbing water expansion, will effectively strengthen the intestinal discharge capacity, in addition, drinking more water can also prevent dry stool to a certain extent;
Second, eat more vegetables and fruits
Travel outside, in addition to enjoying food, do not forget to order more vegetables and fruits every time you eat, the fiber content in many vegetables and fruits is very rich, especially recommended dragon fruit, bananas, the fiber in these foods can promote intestinal peristalsis, is conducive to the smooth discharge of stool, play a role in preventing constipation;
Finally, take the initiative to defecate according to your original defecation rules
Don't hold back the stool, every day without the intention of defecation, also take the initiative to squat in the toilet, try to let the stool out. Because our large intestine is actually absorbing water all the time, if we do not defecate in time, coupled with not drinking water, the stool in the large intestine will become more and more dry, and it will be more and more difficult for the intestine to excrete.
The most important thing is not to hold back, not to hold back, not to hold back
When traveling outside, once you have the feeling of wanting to defecate, you must try to find a way to solve it, why say try, of course, because in many cases the objective conditions do not allow us to do so. We are generally at home, the time of normal bowel movements every day is relatively fixed, in fact, this is the agreement between the intestines and us, under normal circumstances, the intestines will default to defecation according to this law. But if we break this agreement, such as not squatting in the toilet at the "agreed time point" on a certain day, the intestinal nerves and intestinal muscles will be overwhelmed, and while "holding back", the large intestine will continue to absorb water, which will lead to more and more difficult to defecate.
The above points are suggestions for everyone to try to avoid "travel constipation". But if the constipation situation is really serious, we have to take medical measures, we can go to the pharmacy to buy some kaiser, put it in the ass eye and wait for a few minutes, we can have a good bowel movement.
