Colitis, an inflammatory disease of the colon of the large intestine, usually occurs with disorders of the stool, which are expressed in diarrhea or constipation. Depending on what kind of disease is present in the patient, the expert selects the appropriate components for dietary nutrition.
A tangible effect in the treatment of this inflammatory disease is given by juices, both fruit and vegetable. But their appointment should be performed only by the attending physician, as some of them contribute to relaxation, while others serve to strengthen the stool.
Juices in colitis should only be drunk fresh, as they, unlike the purchased ones, do not contain preservatives and colorants at all. In addition, any of the vegetable or fruit drinks should be diluted 50% with warm boiled water, as in undiluted form they help slow down digestive functions of the intestine.
Among the freshly squeezed juices, the most popular for its composition, as well as the qualities contributing to the healing of colitis, were the following:
- A drink made from red currant berries is recommended for a spasmodic disease when the motor function is impaired in the large intestine;
- Apple juice is only needed that is prepared from fruits without skin, as it contains coarse fiber. He is valued for the high iron content, as well as a wide vitamin range represented by groups A, B, C, E, PP, the necessary organism weakened by colitis;
- Tomato juice is recognized by patients with colitis for that it excellently stimulates the intestine and helps to prevent the risk of cancer. You should drink it half an hour before meals, but do not add salt that reduces the healing properties. Instead of it to improve the taste of this drink is added a small amount of garlic or fresh herbs.
In addition to the aforementioned types of drinks from vegetables or fruits, those that are made of spinach, beets or cucumber are of great relevance in inflammatory diseases of the digestive system. But it should be remembered that in order to get the maximum of useful substances and vitamins from freshly squeezed juice it is not required to be consumed in liters, as some advise.
Carrying out such experiments on the body, suffering from colitis, brings huge harm. A reasonable norm is a very small amount of it per day - from a few spoons to 2 to 3 glasses a day. It depends on what kind of drink is used.
