Diabetes is a common metabolic disease and patients are often associated with multiple complications, of which constipation is more common. Not only does constipation affect the quality of life of patients, but it can also further exacerbate diabetes. It is therefore particularly important to alleviate the problem of constipation of diabetes patients through a reasonable diet adjustment. This paper will provide details on how diets can improve constipation for diabetes patients.
1. The causes of diabetes mellitus are complex and include, among other things, the following: 2. Dietary factors: Diabetes patients are often required to limit diets, have inadequate intake of dietary fibres, lack sufficient moisture and can easily lead to constipation. 3. Drug factors: Some sugar and decompressive drugs may cause the side effects of constipation. 4. Life habits: Lack of exercise and irregular living habits can also lead to constipation.
The principle of dietary adjustment for diets of diabetes mellitus requires the following: Diabetes patients are advised to eat more of their diet-rich foods, such as oats, rough rice, wheat bread, green leaf vegetables, root vegetables (e.g. celery, spinach, eggplant), fruit (e.g. cherries, turkey nuts, apples). 2. Control of blood sugar levels: Avoid ingestion of high sugar foods, such as candy, beverages, desserts, etc., so as not to increase constipation as a result of increased blood sugar. The choice of foods with low-litre sugar indices, such as groceries, beans, etc., helps stabilize blood sugar. 3. Supplementary moisture: Sufficient moisture can soften excreta and make them easily released. Diabetes patients should drink at least 2,000 ml of water a day, and it is particularly effective to drink warm water when they wake up in the morning. 4. Selection of suitable staple foods: Coarse grains, which are rich in food fibres and help to improve constipation, are used to replace some fine flour, such as maize, barley and wheat. 5. Development of good eating habits: regular feeding, prevention of heavy consumption and reduction of ingestion of spicy, greasy foods, in order to avoid an additional intestinal burden.
1. Eating more vegetables: Vegetables are an important source of food fibre, particularly green leaf and root vegetables. These vegetables, such as celery, spinach and broccoli, are rich not only in food fibres but also in vitamins and minerals, which help to improve constipation. Fruits are also a good source of food fibres and vitamins, but diabetics need to choose fruits with lower sugar, such as cherries, flamingos, apples (without peeling), kippers, etc. At the same time, care should be taken to control the intake of fruit so as not to affect blood sugar. 3. Increased ingestion of impurity foods: they are rich in dietary fibres and B vitamins, which help to improve constipation and stabilize blood sugar. Diabetes patients are recommended to receive appropriate daily amounts of groceries, such as oats, rough rice, maize, wheat, etc. The groceries can be fed with fine rice flour to increase nutritional value. 4. Drink more water: Water is essential to ease constipation. Diabetes patients should drink at least 2,000 ml of water per day, and an empty abdomen in the morning and a glass of warm water will stimulate intestinal creeps. In addition, appropriate quantities of cuisine can be used, such as green tea and chrysanthemum tea. 5. Appropriate supplementation of the fungi: foods such as yogurt, which are rich in fungi, help to regulate intestinal strains and improve constipation. Diabetes patients can choose yogurt free of sugar or low sugar, with appropriate daily consumption. Avoiding stimulant foods: Incentives such as spicy, greasy and cold tend to increase the intestinal burden and increase constipation. Diabetes patients should therefore try to avoid ingestion of these foods.
1. Periodic monitoring of blood sugar: while dietary adjustment, patients with diabetes need to regularly monitor blood sugar levels to ensure that it is within reasonable limits. 2. Appropriate exercise: Appropriate exercise can promote intestinal creeping and improve constipation. Diabetes can choose low-intensity sports such as walking, jogging and yoga. 3. Development of good defecation habits: Regular daily defecation helps to develop a reflection of defecation in the intestinal tract and improves constipation. Diabetes patients are advised to defecate every morning or about half an hour after meals. 4. Avoiding substance abuse: In the case of severely constipated diabetes patients, the use of portable drugs is required under the supervision of a doctor. Avoid the abuse of laxatives or high-impact portable drugs, which can lead to intestinal discomfort or dependence on constipation. 5. Stay happy: Be happy helps to alleviate constipation. Diabetes can relax their moods and stress by listening to music, reading, etc.
Summarizing diabetes constipation can effectively improve the symptoms of constipation through reasonable dietary adjustments, while appropriate exercise, regular monitoring of blood sugar, good defecation habits and the maintenance of moods can also help to alleviate the symptoms of constipation.
