A phrase we often hear is that if you want to be disease-free, your bowels must be clean.
Today, from a scientific point of view, we will interpret how important gut health is to our physical health.
completes 80% of the human body digests and absorbs
The intestine refers to the digestive tract from the stomach pyloric to the anus. The intestine of mammal includes small intestine , large intestine and rectum 3 large segment. Physiology proves that 80% of the digestion and absorption process is completed in the intestine. A large amount of digestion and the absorption of almost all digestive products are carried out in the small intestine. The large intestine mainly concentrates food residues to form feces, which are then excreted through the anus through the rectum.
is the nutrition supply center of the human body.
The food ingested in a person's life is about 70 tons, and so much food must be processed by the intestines. 99% of nutrients are absorbed by the gut. The gut is the largest nutrient production center. If the energy produced by this center is insufficient in quantity and quality, then the various tissues and organs of the body will be "starved".
is the largest immune organ in the human body
70%-80% of immune cells in the whole body are distributed in gut-related lymphoid tissue , 70% of immunoglobulin is distributed in the intestine; more than 95% of the infectious Diseases are related to the gut. When the immune system is low, there may be a problem with gut health.
is the largest endocrine organ in the human body
bacteria in the gut also has a powerful endocrine function.It is currently known that intestinal bacteria can secrete thousands of molecules , including secondary bile acids, catecholamines , short-chain fatty acids , neurotransmitters molecules such as dopamine, serotonin, acetylcholine , norepinephrine, etc., can be regarded as the largest endocrine organ of the human body. These small molecule signaling substances enter the human bloodstream and then act on other cells in the distance to play a role, which can affect the health of the human body in an all-round way.
is the most important detoxification organ in the human body.
About 4000 kg of will be excreted in a lifetime, and more than 80% of the toxins are excreted from the intestines. The intestine needs to be "cleaned" every 18-24 hours. If the intestinal movement is weak and the metabolism is slow, food residues will gradually accumulate in some parts of the intestinal lining. German A surgical expert dissected 280 deceased viscera, and found that 240 of them had hard stone-like fecal dirt in their intestinal linings; a London doctor dissected a deceased , from which 10 kilograms of old, stone-hard feces were taken out and displayed as an exhibit, which is still preserved in glass jars filled with alcohol.
The gut is very important to the health of the whole body, protect the gut, protect the beneficial flora that maintains the health of the gut, and build the cornerstone of health.
