Geriatrics: Lack of Exercise and Insufficient Hydration Can Lead to Sluggish Intestines in Older People
Elderly individuals in need of care often experience problems with sluggish intestines, which can be attributed to various factors, including lack of exercise. The Center for Quality in Nursing (ZQP) and Charité University Medicine emphasize this point in their brochure titled “Natural Remedies and Applications for People in Need of Care.”
According to the ZQP and Charité University Medicine, constipation can commonly arise in older individuals who require care due to a sluggish gut caused by inadequate physical activity. Furthermore, insufficient fluid intake can also contribute to this condition.
As a result, it is crucial for caretakers to ensure that the elderly person consumes enough liquids and consumes an adequate amount of fiber-rich foods such as fruits, vegetables, and whole grain products.
Psyllium husks are also recognized as effective in regulating stool. To utilize them, one should dissolve a heaping tablespoon of psyllium husk in 100 milliliters of liquid and let it swell for ten minutes. It is advisable to take this mixture in the morning and drink an additional glass of water afterward. Failure to do so may lead to constipation caused by the psyllium husks.
If stomach pain persists despite these measures, or if the abdominal wall feels hard and bloated, it is advisable to seek medical attention.
