Which Foods To Avoid For Constipation?

Uncontrolled consumption of various dishes during the holidays can bring us constipation. This condition, which occurs with pain and discomfort, can be due to a myriad of causes, but sometimes the food on the plate is one of them. If after the New Year's table we have this problem, we should not rush with the medications for loosening, but first think about how to help ourselves with natural remedies.

What are the main causes of constipation?

• Insufficient consumption of fruits and vegetables;
• Eating too little fiber;
• Insufficient water intake;
• Consumption of harmful pasta that is not sufficiently chewed;
• Lack of exercise.

To forget about constipation after the holidays, we must follow a few simple rules. It is good to monitor how our stomach feels after eating various foods, as well as to exclude from our menu certain. Sometimes the diet we follow can also lead to constipation. The reason is that our permitted foods do not have enough healthy fiber and fiber for the intestinal flora. Eating too much fiber or overeating can also lead to bowel problems, bloating and stomach discomfort.
 
Here are the foods we should avoid to avoid constipation:

Unripe bananas

Bananas are delicious and healthy. They are sources of fiber and energy. However, if we like to eat not ripe enough, we will get constipation. This is due to the complex of starches contained in the yellow fruit. 

To avoid the discomfort of constipation, buy more ripe bananas. In them, starches are more broken down, there are more proteins and antioxidants.

Cheese

This dairy product supports bone health, but also does a lot of damage. Cheese does not contain fiber needed for the body's digestive process. It contains lactose, which causes constipation.
 
It is recommended to limit the consumption of cheese in people who have intestinal permeability, bloating and other stomach problems. If we still eat the dairy product, we can combine it with foods that contain fiber and fiber, such as avocados. 

Ice cream

Ice cream is another dairy food that is loved by many but causes constipation. It has a lot of sugars and no fiber content. 

The solution for ice cream lovers is to make one at home. In it you can put various fruits rich in fiber, as well as sugar substitutes.
 

Coffee

The hot drink helps to fight the hangover after the holidays, but at the same time dehydrates the body. It is a diuretic, but when we do not drink enough fluids, it becomes a cause of constipation. 

In addition, coffee in large quantities can cause other health problems, so doctors recommend not to overdo it with caffeine. 

Red meat

Fatty meat carries a risk of cardiovascular disease, weight gain and is often a cause of constipation. And on holidays, all the tables are full of meat, especially pork, which is not rich in fiber. To get rid of constipation, we can eat more meat (chicken and fish), which are full of protein. Salads, sweet potatoes, quinoa, are the things with which we will get the necessary fiber for digestion. 

Bob

Beans are an amazing source of fiber, but for some people it is the food that causes constipation. This also happens if our diet is made with a very low fiber content. If we consume beans, it is good to drink more fluids, which will facilitate the absorption of their nutrients.
 

Processed foods

Harmful packaged foods, which contain more salt, sugar or enhancers, undoubtedly cause constipation. The best solution is to eat home-cooked meals or avoid all packaged foods as much as possible.
