It is highly imperative for one’s body to flush out toxins in one way or the other. Apart from sweat and urine, another way that waste comes out of the body is passing stool. It can be rightly said that it is one of the most important daily requirements for the body and oneself. While some people might be accustomed to a particular morning routine, there are several people who suffer from constipation and hence have a wide range of problems owing to the same.
We’ve all experienced constipation at some point or the other, mostly when we are traveling. However, it is important to know that constipation is not a disease or sickness. It is only a bodily condition that can be treated via means of diet and harmless Ayurvedic supplements by Wellness Mantra.
What is Constipation?
Constipation occurs when food in the stomach and intestine takes an inconsistently long time to be digested. There are contractions that push the food forward known as the peristalsis movement. When the semi-digested food is not pushed forward, it remains in the intestine and starts to ferment hence causing problems like gas and bloating. By then the water content of the food is absorbed as well so it becomes dry and peristalsis becomes even more difficult.
What causes Constipation?
When we travel, our eating and sleeping habits become irregular hence bringing with it changes in our digestive system that can lead to constipation. When that happens, we must increase our water intake immediately to keep our colon well hydrated and make sure that the semi-digested food doesn’t dry out.
Another reason for constipation can also be a sedentary lifestyle. It is important that while we keep up with our work and other activities, we also keep track of the fact that as we grow older our metabolism gradually slows down and so does the digestive process. Our body is like an engine that needs to be kept well-oiled in all departments for it to function properly and smoothly.
According to Ayurveda, any irregularities in the body are caused due to imbalance in the Vata, Pitta and Kapha Doshas in the body. Wherein, constipation is the result of Vata imbalance in the body as Apana Vayu is a type of Vata that regulates movement in the abdominal area and downward.
