How to deal with constipation in the elderly? Blind dietary therapy is harmful

Dec 27,2024

As people age, their physical function will gradually decline, and their digestive system function will decline. As the absorption function of the small intestine decreases at this time, the elderly's digestion and absorption of food will slow down. Long term accumulation of food in the gastrointestinal tract can lead to spoilage, resulting in symptoms of constipation. How to solve constipation in elderly people?

The main symptom of constipation in elderly people is a decrease in the frequency of bowel movements, less than twice a week. During constipation, even if the stool is expelled, it will be very dry and granular, and the process of defecation is very painful, often accompanied by a feeling of being unable to be completely emptied. What causes great pain for constipated individuals is that it is not only difficult to take pictures, but there may also be bloating and abdominal pain before defecation, and even further anal fissures due to anal pain.

Experts point out that constipation in the elderly is mostly caused by deficiency syndrome. As age increases, the yang energy in the body tends to weaken. The most obvious manifestation is that elderly people may experience spleen kidney yang deficiency, and the severity varies. Many elderly people choose dietary therapy at this time, unaware that blindly engaging in dietary therapy can actually have side effects. Many elderly people tend to eat too many fruits such as bananas or pears according to common sense, but excessive intake of these cool fruits can actually worsen constipation symptoms for the elderly. Even more so, it can lead to stomach cold and abdominal pain in the elderly. Therefore, the correct treatment method must be adopted for constipation in the elderly.

At this point, we can choose to take the Zangling Water Su Sugar Diet. After taking it on time every day, we can increase the amount of beneficial bacteria to increase the humidity and water retention of feces, promote intestinal peristalsis, and push feces in a timely manner. Moreover, regularly taking Zangling Water Sugar not only has a good effect on intestinal problems, but also helps with the recovery of hemorrhoids, which can help elderly people improve their physical health from then on.
