Constipation is a disease that many people often get. When they get sick, they always have to defecate every three or four days, or even once a week, and every time they defecate, it is a painful torment. Constipation is caused by too little drinking water, high mental pressure, poor gastrointestinal function, etc., resulting in stool staying in the intestine for too long and poor defecation. The symptoms are reduced stool frequency, dry stool, difficult discharge or feeling of endless discharge, and anal pain. Generally, if there is no bowel movement for more than two or three days, it may be constipation. If you defecate every day, but have difficulty in defecating and still have a “feeling of residual stool” after defecation, or have abdominal distension, you should also be included in the scope of constipation.
Constipation is a common disease. The elderly and the weak are the high incidence of constipation because of their poor gastrointestinal function. But now, more and more young and middle-aged people are also beginning to have constipation problems, especially professional women, accounting for about 30% of constipation patients. Because they sit in office and do not exercise often, their gastrointestinal function becomes weak, their gastrointestinal peristalsis becomes slow, and feces will stay and accumulate in the intestine.
Constipation can cause abdominal distension, rough skin, irritability, and hemorrhoids. Don’t let it go. Once some friends have constipation symptoms, they will go to the drugstore to buy “Detox Capsules” or “Runchang tea” to take them. They feel that these drugs are convenient to use and have quick effects. It seems that their intestines will be unblocked immediately. At first, it seemed to work, but after a few days, as soon as the medicine was stopped, the constipation problem immediately returned. Only taking medicine again can alleviate it, and it can’t be cured at all.
In fact, traditional Chinese medicine strongly disapproves of this method. Because the effective ingredients of these drugs are mainly senna leaf, rhubarb and other irritant laxatives, they all achieve the effect of defecation by directly stimulating the contraction of intestinal muscles, but after a long time, they will form drug dependence and even lead to weakness of large intestine muscles, so the more they are used, the worse the effect will be. Moreover, long-term use can easily lead to gastrointestinal dysfunction and other intestinal problems.
So, is there a relatively mild dietetic method to alleviate constipation? In fact, walnuts and sesame seeds, which are common in ordinary times, are excellent products for treating constipation. Take 60g of walnut kernel and 30g of cooked black sesame, mash them together, and then press them into powder with a rolling pin. Take 1 teaspoon each morning and evening. If you find it difficult to swallow, you can take it with a small amount of warm boiled water. Generally, you can see the effect in 3 days and defecate easily. Persisting in taking can also effectively prevent constipation.
Many friends will say that walnuts can nourish the brain and black sesame can blacken hair. We all know that, but it’s really a little new to treat constipation with them! Yes, listen to me slowly. First of all, walnuts have high medicinal value. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that walnuts are warm in nature, sweet in taste, non-toxic, enter the three meridians of the lung, liver and kidney, and can replenish the kidney and help Yang, replenish the lung, constrict the lung, and moisten the intestine and relieve constipation. According to the compendium of Materia Medica, walnut kernel has the effects of “Nourishing Qi and blood, moistening dryness and resolving phlegm, warming lungs and moistening intestines”. Modern science has found that walnuts are rich in walnut oil and a large amount of crude fiber. When eaten in the stomach, walnut oil can soften stool and lubricate the intestine. Coarse fiber can absorb water and expand, stimulate intestinal movement, so that stool can be discharged smoothly.
Let’s talk about black sesame. Black sesame is warm in nature, sweet and flat in taste. It enters the liver, kidney and large intestine channels, moistens the five internal organs, replenishes the liver and kidney, benefits the essence and blood, and moistens the intestines. When the dryness and heat in the intestines are removed, the stool will not dry and the defecation will naturally become smooth. Black sesame can not only effectively alleviate constipation, but also replenish blood and Qi, darken hair and beautify skin, and delay aging. “Compendium of Materia Medica” says: “taking black sesame for 100 days can eliminate all chronic diseases.” Therefore, even for people without constipation, it is good for their health to eat black sesame regularly.
Eat walnuts and black sesame every day, not only the stubborn constipation of many years has been unknowingly cured, but also the skin has become smooth and delicate, the mental state has been better, and people have become younger and more energetic. How can we miss such a good thing?
It is worth noting that although walnuts are good, they should not be greedy, because they contain a lot of fat, and eating too much will cause obesity. In addition, walnuts should not be eaten with wine; Patients with pneumonia and bronchiectasis had better not eat walnuts. And black sesame, you must eat fried sesame to have effect.
After the symptoms of constipation are relieved, you can still often eat walnuts and sesame seeds to prevent constipation. At the same time, we should also find the reasons from our own living habits and do a good job in prevention: eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, more coarse grains and bean products; Drink at least 1500 ml of boiled water every day; Reasonably arrange life and work, combine work with rest, and do some exercise appropriately; Develop good bowel habits, defecate regularly every day, and form conditioned reflex; Avoid the abuse of laxatives and various detoxification capsules, and take dietotherapy as the main method. By doing this, we can get rid of constipation and have a relaxed life.
