Sometimes the stools get hardened inside our intestines and as result of this the stools do not come out easily. We find great discomfort in passing stools. This is known as constipation and this is an ailment that is associated with our lifestyle. There are few issues present in those persons affected with constipation. These are bloating, gastritis, stomach pain, excess belching etc. It is usually said that the causes for constipation are unhealthy diet and lack of exercise.
There are also few unknown causes for constipation in us. These are
Sitting for long time:
The drivers, tailors, IT professionals etc mostly do their work sitting in a particular place for long time periods. This continuous sitting could lead to constipation. The metabolic rate of the body gets slower and bowel movements gets slowed down. This finally leads to constipation.
More dairy products intake:
This could also be another unknown reason for constipation in us. By consuming excess dairy products like cheese, milk, paneer etc, excess gas is generated in the stomach. Stools inside the intestines get hardened while they undergo fermentation process.
Depression in us:
Many research studies have shown that depression in us could also lead to constipation issues etc. Our serotonin levels in the brain are lowered during depression and this could cause the brain to miss out on sending signals to digestive and excretory system to remove waste. In the end constipation takes place.
Intake of low carbohydrate diet:
Keto diet is often followed by the people these days and it could lead to constipation issue in us. The body requires all the nutrients in equal proportions to function well and efficiently. The body absorbs more water from the colon when we are on low carbohydrate diet and this could lead to constipation due to stools becoming harder and drier.
Excess intake of laxatives:
Not many of us know that excess intake of laxatives or medicines for softening stools could also lead to more constipation in them. When laxative is consumed by a person frequently then it could lead to dependency and functioning of bowel slows down. The stools get hardened even more.
Excess consumption of chocolates:
It is now said that intake of sugarless dark chocolate is good for our health and other chocolates could lead to many health issues like constipation etc. The presence of high amounts of sugar in the chocolates hardens the stools in intestines. Issue like constipation and bloating etc occurs in us.
