Lecture:What is constipation: it happens when fecalmaterial
(stool) moves through the large bowel(colon) too slowly. The fluid
portion of the stool isabsorbed back into the body, so the stool
becomes
hard and dry. This makes it difficult to pass the stool.Causes
of constipation: Poor nutrition, inadequatesleep, limited exercise,
anxiety, emotional stress and
age may cause constipation. Certain disease also cancause
constipation, and are usually associated with a
sudden change in bowel habits, pain, weight loss,fatigue or
bloody stools. Some medications cause
constipationHigh Fiber diet: Fiber is the part of plant food
thatis not digested. There are two kinds of fiber: solubleand
insoluble. Soluble fiber gives stool bulk. Foods
that are good sources of soluble fiber include apples,bananas,
barley, oats, and beans. Insoluble fiberhelps speed up the transit
of food in the digestivetract and helps prevent constipation. Good
sources ofinsoluble fiber include whole grains, mostvegetables,
wheat bran, and legumes. Foods thathave fiber contain both soluble
and insoluble fibers.A good goal for dietary fiber is a total of
about 20 to30 grams each day
