Constipation is the cause of malfunction of the gastrointestinal tract. They are based on a sedentary lifestyle, malnutrition, advanced age or pregnancy.

Modern pharmacology is working on the creation of effective and effective drugs with a minimum list of side effects. And how to act for those for whom by virtue of a venerable age or pregnancy a drug-free solution of the question is impossible? In this case, a plant-derived laxative will help.

Prevention of constipation

As you know, the root cause of constipation is malnutrition, that is snacking sandwiches instead of a complex lunch, fast food, a disproportionate intake of protein, fat and carbohydrates. For example, proteins are a building material for the body, but their excessive intake into the body provokes constipation. The greatest concentration of this element is concentrated in meat, fish and cottage cheese. Therefore, it is necessary to control the amount of consumption of these products. Preventing constipation can be carried out with the help of oat or wheat bran - this is a natural natural laxative product of plant origin. The whole point is that bran, in addition to vitamins and trace elements, contains fiber and insoluble fiber. They can not be processed by gastric juice, and therefore they cleanse the intestines of slags and stool. To normalize digestion, it is enough to consume 1 tablespoon of bran in the morning and in the evening, washing them down with plenty of liquid (water, tea, coffee, etc.). Another excellent prophylactic purgative vegetable remedy is oatmeal with the addition of dried fruits. Those who start their day with a plate of this dish, unfamiliar swelling, belching, constipation and other unpleasant phenomena associated with digestive problems.

Food with laxative effect

If, for any reason, drug treatment of constipation is unacceptable, it's time to pay attention to folk methods, for example, a laxative remedy of plant origin. Among the inexpensive, useful and not contraindicated products distinguish three main groups:

Fresh vegetables and fruits are consumed in the form of juices, purees, salads. It is desirable not to heat them, so that they do not lose their useful properties. Although the jelly, cooked on the basis of these products, has a pronounced laxative effect - this is a very effective laxative remedy of plant origin. Beetroot, pumpkin, carrots, cabbage (most of its varieties and species), turnips, parsnips, legumes - this is not the whole list of vegetables recommended for normalizing the stool. As for fresh fruit, it's apples, plums, pears and grapes. They are used whole and in the form of salads or juices (mashed potatoes). Among the dried fruits that give a laxative effect, the best are prunes, raisins and apricots. As for sour-milk products, it is the first in the list of "Natural laxatives" in its effectiveness.
