Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. He Haochen
Patients with constipation due to physical weakness can appropriately eat some apples. This is mainly because apples generally have beneficial effects in strengthening the spleen and stomach, promoting fluid production, and relieving cough. They also help alleviate symptoms such as insufficient vital energy, diarrhea, and constipation. However, patients should avoid excessive consumption to prevent increasing the burden on the gastrointestinal tract.
