Even those who normally have easy bowel motions can get constipation in the winter. When a person has less than three bowel movements per week, firm stools, or trouble passing stools, they are said to be constipated. So what about winter is more conducive to constipation than summer? It might be because our everyday routines have changed. We prefer to drink less water throughout the winter since we do not feel thirsty due to the chilly weather. As mornings are typically chilly, we also have a tendency to exercise and drink more tea and coffee than usual to warm up. Due to our preference for warmer foods, we also tend to consume fewer raw foods like salads. All things considered, drinking plenty of tea and coffee, exercising less, and eating less high-fiber meals can make us more prone to constipation.
Therefore, it’s crucial to change our diet throughout the winter to include more fiber, herbs and spices, excellent fats, and seasonal fruits and vegetables to prevent troubles with our digestive system.
MORNING FOOD TO GET RID OF CONSTIPATION
1. DATES
They have a chilly, sweet disposition. They are the greatest option for persons with constipation, hyperacidity, joint discomfort, anxiety, hair loss, and low energy since they balance Vata and Pitta.
Eat a few soaked dates with warm water in the morning when you’re empty-handed.
2. METHI SEEDS
Methi seeds, also known as fenugreek seeds, can be soaked overnight and consumed the next morning. Additionally, you can grind the seeds and take 1 tsp of methi powder mixed with warm water before bed. Best for those who have a lot of Vata and Kapha. It should not be consumed by those with high pitta (heat concerns).
3. COW GHEE
Ghee from cows enhances metabolism. It aids in preserving the body’s healthy fat, which is necessary for the absorption of vitamins A, D, E, and K, which are fat-soluble. For those who suffer from chronic constipation, 1 tsp of cow ghee mixed with a warm glass of cow milk is ideal.
4. AMLA
When used consistently on an empty stomach in the morning, amla is a fantastic laxative and aids in a variety of health conditions, including hair loss, graying of the hair, weight loss, and more. If it’s more convenient for you, you can consume 1 tsp of amla powder or the juice of 3 fresh amlas (during the winter).
5. OVERNIGHT-SOAKED RAISINS
Black raisins are full of fiber, which might give stools bulk and facilitate easy passage. The raisins must be soaked because dried foods exacerbate your Vata dosha and might lead to stomach problems. After soaking, they are simple to digest.
