Eating only vegetables and fruits without any fatty foods can also lead to constipation.

Spicy Sesame Oil Kelp Noodles

According to statistics, 60% of people will suffer from constipation in their lifetime. However, some people wonder: I eat vegetables and fruits every day and rarely touch chicken, duck, fish, or meat, so why am I still constipated?

In fact, having enough dietary fiber alone is not enough. A lack of water or oil can also lead to constipation. Fats can act as a "lubricant" in the intestines. Many women, in their efforts to lose weight, only eat boiled food, leaving their bodies with no "oil" at all, which can cause constipation. Therefore, nutrition experts suggest steaming or boiling food and then mixing it with olive oil or sesame oil for a cold salad. This method can limit calorie intake while also promoting bowel movements.
