According to the data of the "2018 Chinese Intestinal Health White Paper", more than 90% of people in my country have intestinal health problems.
We always pay attention to the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys. These "big" problems in the body, but ignore the impact of the intestine on physical health.
1. Intestinal function, is the human body's largest immune system
intestine is called "the second brain of the human body". It is the human body's largest immune and detoxification organ and plays an important role in health.
The intestine of the human body is the digestive tract that is coiled in the abdominal cavity, which originates from the mouth of the stomach and reaches the anus, and is divided into two parts: the small intestine and the large intestine. The length of the small intestine is about 5 to 6 meters, which is mainly responsible for absorbing the nutrients in food. The large intestine is about 1.5 meters long, responsible for absorbing the remaining water in the food and expelling the food residue into feces.
1, digestive function
Intestines secrete something called enzymes, which breaks the food entering the intestine into substances that can be absorbed by the human body.
2, absorption function
The nutrients needed by the human body must be absorbed through the intestinal villi, and then transported to the liver through blood, where the next step of processing is carried out.
Intestinal villi are many fine bulges on the surface of the intestinal mucosa, with an area of about 200 square meters. If these transporters go on strike, the liver will lose its driving force.
3. Detoxification function
Intestines are responsible for excreting residues from digestion of food from the body. If they are not excreted in time, many harmful substances will be produced in colon , causing the colon to expand.
The symptoms shown are stomach bloating and stomach pain. In severe cases, perforations or even tumors may occur.
4, immune function
The epithelium of the intestinal mucosa is very tightly connected, and there are many microvilli , so the bacteria and viruses outside are not easy to come in.
The human body's microecology accounts for about 80% of the intestine, and the total number of microecology in the digestive tract is 10 times that of all the cells in the human body; the human body's lymphocyte (cells with immune effects) accounts for 60% to 80% of the intestine, which plays a role in deep barriers.
2. Intestinal abnormalities, will cause stubborn constipation
As the living standards improve, people start to eat big fish and meat, which increases the digestive burden of the stomach and intestines, leading to prominent problems in the digestive tract, causing abnormal bowel movements and causing constipation problems.
1. Intestinal peristalsis slows down
is more common in the elderly. The gastrointestinal digestive fluid is reduced, the intestinal tension and peristalsis are weakened, the gastrointestinal reflex is weakened, and the rectal sensitivity is reduced, resulting in food staying in the digestive tract for too long, and excessive water absorption leads to dry feces and constipation.
2. Bad living habits
In the diet, it has long been high in oil, high fat, too much carnivore, too little plant food, lack of crude fiber , resulting in a decrease in the volume of feces and less stimulation to intestinal peristalsis, which is more common in young people.
3. Excessive mental and psychological pressure
Due to the high working pressure, it often goes all night long, resulting in the defecation reflex being suppressed, and the residue cannot be discharged outside the body in time, which can cause constipation.
4. Long-term lack of exercise
1 Lack of exercise. Because young people are busy with work, they often sit for a long time after eating takeout, and the amount of exercise decreases, which also reduces the intestinal peristalsis to a certain extent, causing labored defecation.
3. Long-term constipation, will cause human health problems
do you know that if you don’t relieve your stool in a day, it is equivalent to smoking three packs of cigarettes. Long-term constipation will lead to indigestion and affect your physical and mental health, thereby causing some health problems.
1, cause indigestion
1 Long-term constipation will lead to indigestion, bad breath, dull skin tone, obesity, etc.
2, affecting physical and mental health
Habitual constipation, persistent and stubborn constipation brings pains such as loss of appetite, fatigue, dizziness, headache, mental depression, irritability, insomnia to the elderly.
3, causing hypertension
The elderly who suffer from cardiovascular and cerebrovascular problems such as hypertension, arteriosclerosis, coronary heart disease often exert force during constipation, increase abdominal pressure or excessive force, causing blood pressure to suddenly rise, causing cerebral blood vessel rupture and acute cerebrovascular problems such as cerebral hemorrhage to occur.
4, cause anorectal problems
Long-term constipation may cause hemorrhoids , anal fissures, intestinal obstruction, diverticulosis and even malignant intestinal problems.
4. From the perspective of "intestine", prevents constipation problems
stubborn constipation is the source of all diseases. Long-term stools accumulate in the intestines, which will ferment and deteriorate, producing various toxins and toxic gases. Finally, the toxins will spread throughout the body, endangering human health. Therefore, the problem of constipation cannot be ignored!
1, reasonable diet
Reasonable distribution of staple foods, meat, eggs, vegetables, fruit ratios in the diet, and more fruits, vegetables, coarse grains, and other foods rich in dietary fiber , and eat regularly.
2. Defecation rules
The best time for defecation is before or after breakfast. You should develop the habit of defecation at this time every day, and do not play with your mobile phone when defecating.
3. Replenish water
You should develop the good habit of drinking more water. Water is a necessity of the human body. Drinking more water can promote intestinal peristalsis and avoid dry stools.
4. Regular work and rest
If the work and rest is irregular, it may cause the patient to have autonomic nerve dysfunction, cause gastrointestinal dysfunction, slow intestinal peristalsis, and long-term accumulation of contents in the intestinal cavity in the intestinal cavity and unable to be discharged, which may lead to constipation.
