Intestinal transit is a fundamental process for our digestive well-being. It consists of the expulsion of food through the intestines and rectum. Adequate intestinal transit allows us to digest food efficiently, absorb essential nutrients and eliminate excess in the form of feces.
According to the Spanish Foundation of the Digestive System (FEAD), making three bowel movements a day to three bowel movements weekly can be considered a normal intestinal rhythm. If you go to the bathroom three or fewer times in a week, you should consider the possibility that constipation has appeared in your life. Also, observe whether bowel movements are effortless and whether the consistency of the stool is adequate.
If you have difficulty going to the bathroom, feel abdominal bloating, or have irregular bowel movements, you could be suffering from constipation. In Spain it affects between 12% and 20% of the population. We speak of slow intestinal transit when bowel movements occur less frequently than normal.
To avoid it, or solve it if it happens to you, there are habits that you can add to your routine to improve it. For example, eat fiber, be well hydrated, exercise, avoid stress and have a good chewing rhythm to facilitate food digestion. In addition to eating a good balanced diet.
If you have intestinal transit problems, natural remedies can be very useful to help you regulate it. From a diet rich in fiber to probiotics or infusions with digestive properties.
