I believe that many people have had constipation, and every time they squat in the toilet for a long time, the whole process is very painful. Although constipation is not a serious illness, it can be very uncomfortable.
In China, about 4 to 6 percent of adults have constipation problems, and it will increase with age, and the chronic constipation rate of people over 60 years old can be as high as 22 percent, and women are more than four times that of men.
Short-term constipation may not have any effect on the body, but long-term constipation should be paid attention to, usually pay attention to adjust the diet, especially adjust the fiber intake, drink more water, exercise more, squat when necessary, you can also try to rub the abdomen, overlap the hands and rub clockwise.
In addition, I would like to introduce two small methods to you.
One is to push the index finger
Extend the index finger of one hand and use the thumb of the other hand to push its side, which is the side of the index finger close to the thumb, from the base of the finger to the fingertip.
When pushing, you should pay attention to the strength of the hand should not be too heavy, only need your fingers to touch the skin, and then do a flat movement, just push at a uniform speed, you can push like this for about five minutes each time, if the constipation is serious, you can prolong the time of pushing.
Another factor of constipation is intestinal flora imbalance, healthy people accumulate a wide variety of microorganisms in the intestines, these microorganisms become intestinal flora, these bacteria have an inhibitory effect on pathogenic bacteria, so intestinal flora imbalance is also one of the causes of constipation.
One is to pinch Shang Yang acupoint
Shangyang acupoint, it is an acupuncture point on the large intestine meridian of Hand Yangming, and it is also the starting point of the large intestine meridian, which is around the side of the index finger.
You can pinch with the thumb of your other hand and there will be a special tingling sensation. Pinch both hands for one to three minutes at a time.
Both of these methods are very simple, you can try them at ordinary times, and you also need to do proper physical exercise to develop the habit of having regular bowel movements every day.
