Q I've gotten constipated while dieting. What foods help?
A Fiber (vegetables), yogurt, jocheong (rice syrup), and nuts help. You can also directly manage constipation by adjusting your detox pill dosage.
Detailed Answer
When meal amounts decrease, intestinal content also decreases, making constipation more likely. Eating plenty of vegetables at every meal and using yogurt (probiotics), jocheong (which moistens the intestines), and nuts like almonds and walnuts as snacks activates intestinal movement. If that still doesn't resolve it, increasing the detox pill dosage can help eliminate intestinal waste.
Our Korean Medicine Clinic's Perspective
Smooth bowel movement is necessary so toxins don't build up in the body, which also keeps metabolism active. If you mention constipation symptoms during your visit, we manage it together by adjusting the detox pill dosage or prescription.
