Are probiotics effective for constipation?

The big problem of constipation has always troubled most people. In fact, constipation is closely related to one's physical fitness. Heat and endocrine disorders can cause constipation. Probiotics can effectively relieve the problem of constipation. Probiotics help intestinal peristalsis and enhance digestion and absorption functions. Probiotics exist in our food, such as probiotic yogurt, which can not only relieve constipation but also supplement the vitamins and minerals needed by the human body. Let us learn about it together.

1. Probiotics are effective for constipation , but they must be consumed scientifically to be effective. Because the biggest feature of probiotics is live bacteria. Probiotics should be maintained at a certain level during the shelf life to play the role that live bacteria should play. So in terms of the effect of drinking, if probiotics want to reach the stomach and intestines to produce a beneficial effect, they must first remain alive during the sales process. Therefore, supermarkets generally keep yogurt in an environment of 0-4℃, and many small shops keep probiotic yogurt at room temperature, and the survival rate of probiotics is limited.

2. Generally, the shelf life of probiotic yogurt is 15-20 days , so consumers should choose probiotic yogurt with the most recent date. Yogurt cannot be boiled or heated in a microwave, otherwise it will clump and the lactic acid bacteria in it will be killed, losing its original health-care effect. Therefore, yogurt can only be drunk cold or warmed in warm water before drinking.

3. Precautions about probiotics

Some people may ask, why not just add probiotics? In fact, it is possible, but you should pay attention to the following issues:

1. Probiotic strains have high requirements for the survival environment and have very high standards for production and packaging processes. The best carriers for probiotics are tablets, capsules and powders.

2. Supplementing probiotics to the human body should be targeted, that is, different strains of bacteria should be added according to different causes of disease and physical conditions. Because the benefits of probiotics vary depending on the strain, you can choose the corresponding strain according to the specific problem you want to prevent or treat. Only by adding in a targeted manner can the problem be solved in a targeted manner.

3. As a result, the probiotics you eat cannot survive and reach the colon, let alone reproduce, so it is useless to eat them. Therefore, to ensure the survival rate of probiotics, only live bacteria can play their role.

4. Pay attention to the body's reaction after adding. After all, it is externally added bacteria. People with different physiques have different adaptability, and people with certain physiques may have some immune reactions.

5. The storage of probiotics is limited. Probiotics in lactic acid products
