Portrait of the real life of contemporary young people: eating takeaway on weekdays, and getting busy for three meals is irregular. You can avoid breakfast and lunch on weekends, but late-night snacks must be improved, and barbecue, hot pot, crayfish, beer, and milk tea must not be missed. And this group of young people, after indulging in a meal, occasionally went to the other extreme - dieting and losing weight.
However, whether it is overeating or over-dieting, the intestinal health will be the ultimate injury, which directly leads to irregular bowel movements in modern young people and frequent intestinal aging problems such as abdominal distension, constipation or diarrhea. "At the age of 20, the intestine at 50" has become a common phenomenon!
Intestinal "aging" is also directly reflected in the "aging" of the skin. Do you always feel your skin is dull, sagging and inelastic? Are there always fine lines, spots, and acne? This is most likely your gut is protesting! How important is it to maintain a "younger" in the intestinal tract?
As we all know, the intestine is the main digestive organ of the human body. Almost all the nutrients needed by the human body are absorbed by the intestines to maintain vitality. At the same time, it is responsible for most of the detoxification tasks. It is necessary to timely excrete the body's metabolic waste from the body to avoid the accumulation of toxins.
Moreover, as the main reservoir of bacteria in the human body, its intestine tract has a series of complex physiological effects such as endocrine hormone regulation, body immune response, metabolites transformation, and is closely related to the functional regulation of the liver, kidneys and even the brain.
Therefore, the occurrence of many chronic diseases is closely related to the intestinal and intestinal flora. As early as two thousand years ago, Hippocrates, the father of Western medicine, once said, "The source of all diseases begins in the intestines", which shows its importance.
Once the intestine ages, various diseases will follow one after another. In mild cases, it can lead to constipation, diarrhea, intestinal dysfunction, nutritional deficiency, and decreased body immunity. In severe cases, it may induce digestive tract tumors, liver lesions, diabetes , cardiovascular disease, etc.
Intestinal health is closely related to our human health. Only when the intestines are healthy and young can people be healthier and longer!
What should the "young" intestine look like?
Defecation every day is an important reference indicator for our human health. The ideal bowel movement state is to defecate 1-2 times a day. However, because everyone's physical fitness, diet and living habits are different, not everyone can reach an ideal state. As long as you do not have difficulty defecation, obvious diarrhea, etc., it is normal to have 2-3 times a day, or 2-3 times a day.
But it should be noted that if you defecate less than three times a week, the bowel movements are not smooth, or you always feel that you are not discharged every time you defecate, you need to be vigilant. This is the beginning of intestinal aging, and you must take timely measures to correct the bowel movements.
If you don’t defecate for several days, the intestines will continue to absorb water and toxins in the feces, causing slower metabolism and accumulate more toxins, resulting in poor sleep, odor, yellow complexion, various health problems caused by intestinal aging, obesity, anxiety, indigestion and other intestinal aging, and even indirectly aggravate the conditions of hypertension, coronary heart disease, , intestinal obstruction, and other diseases. It is even necessary to take timely measures to promote defecation and clean the intestines.
It can be seen that good and regular bowel movements play an important role in maintaining a young intestine. We should pay attention to developing the "biological clock" for bowel movements.
Defecation is not smooth for a long time, common misunderstandings among people with aging intestinal aging
"I can't get out of my shit". How painful it is to constipate? Perhaps only those who have experienced it understand. In order to be able to pull it out, people with long-term poor bowel movements have tried various methods and do everything they can: eat bananas frantically, drink various intestinal clearing tea, take laxatives, and even try enema...
But in fact, this is a common misunderstanding among people with intestinal aging, especially there are many so-called "intestinal clearing tea" on the market, but its essence is often just "laxatives".Long-term use of laxative products will cause excessive water loss in the intestines, which will directly affect digestive function. However, when the intestines gradually adapt to the stimulation of laxatives, they will become dependent and require continuous increase in doses. After stopping taking them, it will become more and more difficult to defecate, forming a vicious cycle.
In addition, since laxatives contain a large amount of chemicals to stimulate the intestines, it may also cause other gastrointestinal diseases such as "colonal stool disease", which will not be worth the cost.
Obviously, this eagerness to achieve success cannot fundamentally solve the problem, but will accelerate intestinal aging. The intestinal function seems powerful, but it is also fragile. We should handle it gently and pay attention to the care of the intestinal tract while promoting bowel movement.
How to develop a "biological clock" for defecation and build a youthful intestinal tract?
Generally speaking, defecation is affected by a variety of factors, such as unreasonable dietary structure, long-term sitting, lack of exercise, etc., which increases the burden on the stomach and intestines. To promote defecation and care of the intestines, you should pay attention to internal and external conditioning, and adopt a gentle and safe method - dietary conditioning and exercise assistance to completely improve bad living habits.
1. Improve dietary habits
In terms of diet, try to eat less high-fat, high-carb, spicy and stimulating foods in daily life. You should eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, potatoes, mixed beans and other foods rich in vitamins, dietary fiber and other ingredients, which can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis and are of great benefit to intestinal health.
For modern people who are busy with daily life, nutritional supplements can be used to help improve intestinal health. For example, Shuerchang VC oral liquid, its core component, polyethylene glycol (PEG), can lock water in large quantities through hydrogen bonds to form hydrocoagulants, thereby softening stools, promoting intestinal peristalsis and helping defecate. At the same time, PEG is not absorbed, decomposed, or metabolized in the human body, and has high safety. In addition, Shuerchang medium VC and oligosaccharide prebiotics help to maintain the intestinal mucosal barrier, regulate intestinal flora, and play a dual role in gentle clearing of the intestinal tract and balance the intestinal care. The VC ingredients we are familiar with also have antioxidant and whitening effects. While nourishing the intestines, they can also help improve skin aging and dullness.
2. Drink more water
You must also ensure that the body has enough water to drink in daily life to help speed up the metabolism in the body. It is recommended to ensure at least 1.5L of water intake every day, especially the first glass of water after getting up in the morning, which has a good effect on stimulating gastrointestinal peristalsis and can stimulate the body to produce strong sensation.
3. Exercise appropriately to avoid sitting for a long time
In life, people with long-term sitting should insist on appropriate exercise to help speed up the peristalsis of intestinal tracts and promote the excretion of metabolic waste and feces in the intestines downwards, so that laxatives are smoother. For example, aerobic exercises such as walking, cycling, swimming, etc. are all possible. The recommended exercise volume is 30 to 60 minutes a day, at least twice a week.
Defecation rules are an important criterion for youthful intestinal tracts. By adjusting diet, exercise and other methods, it can help us gently clear the intestinal intestinal tract, straighten the intestinal biological clock, and hold a protective umbrella for intestinal health! However, it should be noted that if you have long-term constipation, diarrhea or even other abnormalities, you should seek medical treatment in time.
