Constipation is a functional disease, related to daily living habits and eating habits. Obesity is formed due to fat accumulation in the body, not caused by constipation. Patients can eat more foods containing dietary fiber, such as celery, agaric, leek, pitaya, etc., to promote gastrointestinal motility. Obese patients need to reduce fried and high-sugar food intake. Aerobic exercise for more than one hour a day can promote fat metabolism.
