Constipation Prevention


Do you ever feel constipation? I think you must have, because nowadays, constipation becomes such a general problem in society. I have a friend of mine who has a problem with this disease, her stomach repeatedly become puffy because she can’t have excrements; surely it makes her upset very badly. I do ever feel it too, because I’m not a super human, I’m just an ordinary human, when I have it then I realize that my food lack of fiber and vegetable, so that day I just want to eat some green things (vegetable things).

It is really important for us to consider the form of the digestion result from ourselves body. We must know the consistency, color, smell, and what it looks like. And we must know the characteristic of normal excrements. The first thing is once you have excrement without any push too hard. Second, the feces must be in ideal form. Finally, you must have frequency excrements 3 times a week. The frequency is relates to transit time, although it is not a funny thing, you need to look below down you to check your feces form. You can use this Bristol Stool Chart as standard, so here we go:
1. Feces clotted in small round with peanut size, separated, and hard to get it out. These feces are processed food that kept 3 days in stomach.
2. Feces have a long form, such a sausage with a rough surface. This form is signal that this residue has a 2 days not to come out.
3. Feces have a sausage form with burst surface. This form gives us a clue that body still kept the residue from digestion for 1-5 days.
4. The ideal form from feces is like banana curve. This feces have a soft consistency and easy to make it out.
5. Feces that have small pieces form with split end and easy to make it out.
6. Feces that have liquid form and only have a little solid form.
7. Feces that have liquid form and do not have solid form at all.
To get a healthy digestion, just give more attention for your feces transit time. This transit time is representing how long food processed from mouth to anus. An ideal transit time is 12-72 hours, or ½-2 ½ days. Now, it is time for you to mark your calendar with excrement schedule...!
