Severe constipation causes - water drinking!
• Severe constipation causes can be several, but beside rich fiber diet essential is also proper fluid intake.
• Water and constipation –why?
Ignoring the signal to defecate (water is withdrawn from fecal matter left in the bowel and it becomes dry and hard)The benefit is that fiber attracts water, creating soft, bulky stools that stimulate bowel contractions thus pushing contents along the bowel.
Not enough water - when enough water is taken along with enough fiber, peristalsis is encouraged.
To reap the benefits of fiber, it is very important to drink an adequate amount of water to help with the passage of stool in the intestines.
So : Prevention of constipation is next to a sufficient intake of dietary fiber as well as adequate fluid intake.
Insoluble fiber is able to absorb large amounts of water - approximately four to six times its own volume.
This creates in the stomach and intestines a soft spongy mass. The result is a feeling of satiety, which will come much sooner than the consumption of foods low in fiber.
Fiber is a natural defense against overeating.More about fiber you can read here...
