Because all the food we eat will eventually become a feast for intestinal bacteria, there is no way to completely prevent the generation of natural gas such as "fart". Of course, consuming only pure liquid food , like milk, can reduce gas production, because they usually do not leave gut bacteria with the opportunity to participate in digestion. However, a more feasible solution is to not eat foods that make people skunk.
1, Cruciferous Vegetables
Typical representatives: Cauliflower , Cabbage , Cabbage , Cabbage , kale radish
Cruciferous vegetables are very helpful for intestinal maintenance, but are easy to produce gas. This type of vegetables mostly contain sulfur and marshmallow sugar, which is an carbohydrate , which is more difficult to absorb by the intestine than ordinary sugar. Gas will be produced during digestion, causing bloating.
After cooking, cruciferous vegetables can effectively reduce the sulfur and cottonseed sugar ingredients. The benefits of these vegetables to the intestines are far greater than the troubles of bloating. But don’t eat too much at once, as the probability of bloating can be greatly reduced.
2. Typical representatives of beans
: soybeans, red beans , black beans .
Bean food contains a large proportion of oligosaccharides . In the process of decomposing oligosaccharides, bacteria in the intestine will convert them into " large intestine fermentation", and then, they will generate hydrogen and carbon dioxide . These gases will spread on the bottom of the large intestine to cause swelling, and will also make people feel very urged to "deflate". As long as they relax, they will "snatch out".
The degree of farting varies according to the individual's physical condition. Some people eat beans and they are no different from usual, while others will have "screaming fire". If the beans are made into mashed beans and soy milk and then eaten, the probability of bloating will be reduced. Another way is to soak the beans for 1-2 hours before cooking, pour out the water and then cook, which can also reduce the probability of the beans being "angry". However, this will also reduce the content of water-soluble vitamin in beans.
3. Potatoes
Typical representatives: sweet potatoes, potatoes, yam , taro
Potatoes are rich in starch. The starch granules are difficult to digest without being destroyed by high temperature, and will produce a large amount of gas in the intestines. These gases cannot be excreted in the body, which will form bloating.
If you are prone to bloating after eating potatoes, you should eat less starchy food at important moments, increase protein and vegetable foods. In a state of balanced diet, the probability of bloating will be greatly reduced.
4. Dairy products
Typical representatives: uolo milk, ice cream
People who experience symptoms such as diarrhea, bloating, stomach pain after eating dairy products are said to suffer from lactose intolerance. This is because the body lacks the enzyme to decompose lactose , which causes the lactose in dairy products to be digested, absorbed and decomposed, and is stagnant in the intestine. When bacteria in the intestine decompose lactose, they will produce a large amount of gas, causing flatulence; excessive lactose retained in the intestine will also increase the pressure on the intestine, causing diarrhea and gastrointestinal discomfort.
patients who are prone to bloating or have lactose intolerance, it is best to eat less ice cream with high fat and dairy content, but not any dairy products cannot be eaten. If you drink a small amount of milk every day, or try to intake some other dairy products in small amounts, the intestines have the chance to generate digestive enzyme by themselves, it may improve symptoms.
5. High-fat food
Typically represents pizza, hamburger, cake
When greasy high-fat food comes into contact with the inner wall of the intestine, it is easy to slow down intestinal peristalsis, hinder the operation of the digestive system, and prevent the food from being fully absorbed and utilized. If food stagnates in the intestines for too long, it will naturally produce a large amount of toxic substances and waste gas. In severe cases, it may even cause symptoms such as gastric acid reflux and heartburn. The best way to reduce this type of bloating is to reduce and control the consumption of high-fat foods.
6. Fast food
Typical representatives: French fries, fried chicken
Quick foods often contain excessive sugar. When intestinal bacteria decompose sugar, they will automatically produce gas.If there is too much sugar and incomplete bacterial decomposition, bloating and discomfort are prone to occur, and in severe cases, it may even cause gastrointestinal cramps.
If you eat this type of food with carbonated beverage containing a large amount of gas, the bloating will be more serious and less or no such food, which is a good way to reduce bloating.
7. Typical representatives of processed food
: Sausage, ham, pickles
The biggest safety hazard of processed food lies in the artificial additives. Many of these artificial additives can lead to indigestion. Eating such food regularly can lead to indigestion and bloating, and at the worst, the metabolic system becomes weaker and weaker, increasing the risk of cancer. It is best to eat less or not to eat such foods.
