Due to the physiological characteristics of women, they are more prone to constipation. Some people don't take constipation seriously, while others are too embarrassed to see a doctor. In fact, long-term constipation can easily lead to more serious consequences, even cancer. Therefore, in daily life, it is necessary to pay attention to dietary habits to stay away from constipation.
1. Seaweed and Sesame Rice.
Cut 100 grams of roasted seaweed into fine strips. Then, grind 120 grams of black sesame and 120 grams of white sesame seeds with a rolling pin. Mix these three ingredients together and store them in a jar. Take one or two scoops with each meal and mix with rice. Teacher Fuzi explains that seaweed is rich in nutrients such as carotene, calcium, potassium, and iron, which can promote gastrointestinal movement; sesame seeds contain a large amount of amino acids, dietary fiber, and minerals, which can promote bowel movements.
2. Cabbage Salad with Vinegar.
The method is: blanch 500 grams of cabbage in boiling water with a little salt. After cooling the blanched cabbage, squeeze out the water, cut it into pieces, and then mix one cup of vinegar, 1/2 cup of broth, two tablespoons of wine, and 1/2 tablespoon of salt and bring to a boil to make the dressing. After the dressing cools, pour it together with the cabbage into a sealed jar and store for one day before eating. Cabbage is rich in various vitamins and dietary fiber, which can enhance gastrointestinal peristalsis.
3. Vinegar-Marinated Lotus Root.
Blanch the lotus root, then mix it with an appropriate amount of sugar, salt, vinegar, and sesame oil according to personal taste. Store the mixed lotus root in a sealed jar and take some out daily as a side dish with meals. Teacher Fuzi says that lotus root can cleanse intestinal waste, prevent stool compaction, stimulate the intestinal wall, and prevent constipation.
4. Boiled Kelp and Beans.
Cut 300 grams of kelp into strips and blanch in boiling water until cooked. Boil 100 grams of soybeans until cooked. After cooling and draining the water from the kelp and soybeans, add salt, soy sauce, MSG, and chopped green onions and mix well. Kelp is rich in dietary fiber, which can promote intestinal peristalsis and increase bowel volume; the unsaturated fatty acids in soybeans can promote bowel movements, and the rich dietary fiber can absorb water in the intestines, increasing the volume of stool. These dishes, especially the cabbage salad with vinegar and the vinegar-marinated lotus root, are very popular because one batch can last for a while. Seaweed and kelp are common dried ingredients in Japanese households and are readily available materials. Compared to recipes that require elaborate preparation, these simple, easy-to-make things are what people can stick with in the long run to achieve good results.
