Hello, with the decline of the physical function of the elderly, various diseases began to occur frequently, and constipation has become an important disease affecting the quality of life of the elderly. According to the physical and life characteristics of the elderly, the following measures are put forward to deal with constipation of the elderly:
First, pay attention to diet adjustment
Pay attention to science, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, eat more foods with high crude fiber content such as celery, leek, lotus root, laver, sesame seeds and kelp, and keep the daily intake of cellulose at 25-35g, and the daily drinking water at least 1ml, which is beneficial to stimulate intestinal peristalsis. In view of personal constipation, eating reasonably every meal, and resolutely quitting smoking and drinking will improve the difficulty of defecation.
Second, insist on reasonable exercise
Don't sit for a long time, keep exercising for at least half an hour every day, such as walking, playing ball, dancing in square dance, swimming, etc. Insisting on walking in the morning and evening is beneficial to the recovery of colon tension, and other reasonable exercises can also improve the blood circulation of the body or gastrointestinal tract. In addition, deep breathing can also play a self-massage role in the intestine, which can improve the tension of the colon, increase intestinal peristalsis and improve constipation symptoms.
Third, resume normal defecation
Actively resume normal defecation behavior. Colonic activity is most active when you wake up in the morning and after eating. Therefore, it is recommended to try defecation in the morning or within 2 hours after eating. When defecating, you must pay attention, reduce the interference of external factors, and don't read newspapers or think too much.
