Huang Dong walked into the hospital as usual. Today he is going to receive a patient who has been suffering from constipation for a long time.
The patient's name is Li Fang, a white-collar worker, and the constipation problem is getting worse due to long-term sitting and irregular diet.
After several unsuccessful attempts at self-regulation, she decided to seek medical attention. Li Fang waited anxiously outside the clinic, full of anticipation for Dr. Huang.
She heard that Huang Dong not only has excellent medical skills, but also has a kind attitude and is always able to give the most intimate advice to patients.
Finally, it was her turn. She pushed open the door and walked into the consultation room, and Huang Dong greeted her with a smile.
"Hello, Dr. Huang. I have been suffering from constipation for a long time and have tried many methods, such as eating bananas, but the results are not good.
What should I do? Li Fang couldn't wait to pour out her troubles.
Huang Dong listened carefully to Li Fang's description, nodded, and motioned for her to sit down. “
Ms. Li, constipation is indeed a common problem, but everyone's situation is different and the reasons are different.
We do a detailed examination before making recommendations based on your specific situation. ”
Under the guidance of Huang Dong, Li Fang underwent a series of examinations, including abdominal ultrasound and colonoscopy.
After a detailed examination, Huang Dong found that Li Fang's intestines did not have obvious lesions, and the main problems were the slowing down of intestinal peristalsis and unreasonable dietary structure.
"Ms. Li, there is no major problem with your intestines, mainly because of your lifestyle and eating habits.
Next, I will give you some dietary advice, as well as a few foods that can help promote intestinal peristalsis. ”
Huang Dong continued: "Recent studies have shown that the best laxative effect is not bananas, but the following three foods: dragon fruit, oats and yogurt. Let's talk more about what they do. ”
The first is dragon fruit. Huang Dong explained that dragon fruit is rich in dietary fiber and water-soluble fiber, which can increase the volume and water of stool, promote intestinal peristalsis, and help bowel movements.
In particular, the pectin in dragon fruit can form a gelatinous substance in the intestines, lubricate the intestines and reduce the occurrence of constipation.
Oats contain a lot of soluble fiber, β-glucan, which not only lowers cholesterol but also regulates blood sugar levels, and more importantly, it absorbs a lot of water in the intestines, increasing the volume of stool and making bowel movements smoother.
In addition, oats are also rich in antioxidants, which help protect intestinal health.
Finally, yogurt. Huang Dong emphasized that the probiotics in yogurt are essential for the balance of intestinal flora.
Healthy intestinal flora can promote intestinal motility and prevent constipation.
At the same time, probiotics can also break down lactose to produce short-chain fatty acids, increase the acidity in the intestines, promote the excretion of harmful bacteria, and further maintain intestinal health.
Li Fang listened very carefully, nodding her head from time to time to show understanding.
Unexpectedly, I have been ignoring these simple and effective foods all along.
"Dr. Huang, how should I eat these foods?"
Huang Dong smiled: "It's very simple, you can add these foods to your daily diet in moderation.
For example, you can eat a bowl of oatmeal for breakfast, you can eat half a dragon fruit after lunch or dinner, and you can drink some yogurt appropriately.
Of course, diet is only one aspect, you also need to pay attention to drinking plenty of water, exercising moderately, and maintaining a good routine and rest habits. ”
Li Fang said gratefully, "Thank you Dr. Huang, your advice is very practical, and I will definitely follow your guidance to adjust my lifestyle." ”
A few weeks later, Li Fang came to the hospital again, this time with a smile on her face and a radiant spirit. "Dr. Huang, I followed your advice and the constipation problem has improved significantly. Thank you very much! ”
Huang Dong was also very relieved to see Li Fang's changes. "Ms. Li, it's great to hear this.
Continue to maintain such a lifestyle, and your body will become healthier and healthier. Feel free to come to me if you have any questions. ”
Constipation is not terrible, as long as you find the right way, you can easily deal with it.
Dragon fruit, oats, and yogurt are three foods that are easy to obtain, but have a significant laxative effect.
Instead of blindly relying on one food, it is better to have a reasonable combination, eat a balanced diet, and maintain a healthy lifestyle, which is the fundamental way to solve constipation.
Through this case, Huang Dong showed everyone how to solve the problem of constipation scientifically and reasonably.
A healthy lifestyle and a balanced diet are key to maintaining gut health.
I hope that everyone can benefit from this and have a healthy and comfortable life.
