The human intestine is inhabited by about 100 trillion bacteria, which are called " intestinal bacterial flora ". Among the intestinal flora, there are good and bad bacteria. Among them, good bacteria are called "probiotics". They play an active role in protecting the body from pathogenic infections, promoting intestinal peristalsis, preventing constipation, treating diarrhea, improving body immunity and maintaining the balance of intestinal flora.
What factors will cause our intestinal microbial imbalance? Unhealthy lifestyles such as living under stressful conditions, often ordering takeout, consuming less fruits and vegetables, eating very little coarse grains, liking meat, often eating midnight snacks, and long-term alcoholism will cause our intestinal flora to be dysregulated and our intestines will age early. In addition, as we age, the proportion of beneficial intestinal bacteria in the human body in the total intestinal bacteria will also decrease.
Is there any way to help us restore intestinal health and delay aging? Here are 8 ways to make our gut vibrate.
1. Let the intestine rest regularly. Choose a rest day every 10 days, mainly fruits and vegetables, and eat 70% to 80% full.
2. Eat regularly. No matter how busy the work you are at hand, you must eat on time. Don’t work immediately after the meal. You can take a 15-minute walk with appropriate activities.
3.Don’t eat too much before going to bed. At most, eat a fruit or drink a glass of warm milk, and don’t put too much burden on the intestines.
4. Don’t be picky about eating and partial eating. Try to have fish, meat, eggs, vegetables and fruits at each meal, so as to achieve a diverse food and a balanced diet.
5. Refused to stay up late. You must go to bed at 10:30 pm and don’t drink too much water before going to bed.
6. Persist in exercise. Take one hour a day to exercise, such as swimming, jogging, etc.
7. Develop the habit of regular bowel movements. If you don’t have the intention to treat it, you should also “do routine”. When squatting on the toilet, you can place something under your feet to promote defecation.
8. Supplement probiotics. If the intestine is full of vitality, it is necessary to ensure that there are sufficient amounts and vitality of probiotics in the intestines, which can be appropriately supplemented to help digestion and absorption and enhance intestinal motivation.
