Eat chestnut can constipation

Eating chestnut may lead to constipation.

Chestnut is rich in starch and other nutrients, but the dietary fiber content is not very high. Dietary fiber plays an important role in promoting intestinal motility and preventing constipation. When dietary fiber in food is insufficient, it is easy to affect the normal movement function of the intestinal tract, thus increasing the risk of constipation. If a large number of one-time consumption of chestnut, too much starch and other substances into the digestive tract, may increase the digestive burden of the gastrointestinal tract, leading to slow digestion process, and then slow intestinal motility, causing poor defecation. Some people eat chestnut may neglect to supplement enough water at the same time. Insufficient water intake will make the intestinal environment become dry, stool will become dry, difficult to discharge, this is also a factor inducing constipation.
