Cheese
is
very
constipating
to
those
inclined
in
this
direction.
All
forms
of
cheese
and
food
combinations
containing
it
should
be
avoided.
Spaghetti
and
macaroni
prepared
in
this
way
are
especially
inadvisable,
though
it
may
be
said
that
even
when
served
without
cheese
spaghetti
and
macaroni
are
constipating.
Rice
in
the
ordinary
polished
form,
as
usually
sold,
is
practically
a
pure
starch
and
should
be
avoided.
The
same
applies
to
tapioca,
sago
and
foods
of
this
character.
Needless
to
say
white
crackers,
cookies
and
cakes
are
to
be
classed
with
white
bread.
One
should
use
brown
sugar
in
place
of
white
wherever
possible,
or
use
the
pure
New
Orleans
molasses.
It
is
often
difficult
to
secure
this,
however,
inasmuch
as
most
of
the
molasses
on
the
market
is
made
up
chiefly
of
glucose
or
corn
syrup,
and
often
contains
harmful
chemical
preservatives.
It
is
best
to
avoid
sugar
altogether
and
to
use
honey
for
all
purposes
of
sweetening,
as
honey
is
less
inclined
to
fermentation.
Milk
in
some
cases
is
inclined
to
produce
constipation
when
used
in
connection
with
the
ordinary
diet.
An
exclusive
and
full
diet
of
milk,
is
rarely
constipating
except
during
the
first
few
days
of
the
diet,
but
when
milk
is
added
to
the
ordinary
foods,
it
frequently
has
a
tendency
in
this
direction.
Buttermilk
or
fermented
milk
can
often
be
used
to
advantage
if
sweet
milk
should
prove
constipating
to
the
patient.
Muscular
weakness
and
defective
circulation
are
prominent
causes
of
constipation
in
many
cases.
This
accounts
for
this
disorder
being
found
so
frequently
among
sedentary
workers.
Inactivity,
the
cause
of
many
ills,
is
particularly
prominent
in
contributing
to
this
trouble.
Therefore
muscular
exercise
is
perhaps
a
most
effective
means
of
permanently
remedying
constipation.
Exercise
has
a
direct
mechanical
influence
upon
the
entire
alimentary
canal.
The
contraction
of
the
abdominal
muscles
and
the
bending
or
other
movements
of
the
trunk
of
the
body
produce
a
certain
amount
of
movement
in
and
pressure
upon
the
digestive
organs
in
a
direct
mechanical
way.
Walking,
for
instance,
is
of
extraordinary
value
in
remedying
this
difficulty
because
of
its
stimulating
influence
upon
the
entire
functional
system,
and
the
slight
jar
of
each
step
without
doubt
has
a
direct
mechanical
effect.
Walking
furthermore
is
a
tremendous
factor
in
the
building
of
vitality
and
this
helps
indirectly
in
remedying
constipation.
