The longevity of the intestines is intrinsically linked to longevity in a way that cannot be ignored. The intestine is the largest detoxification organ in the human body, which is responsible for most of the body’s detoxification tasks, and also bears the burden of fighting off diseases. Even if a person is at rest, the intestines are still in motion, in addition to participating in the digestion and absorption of food, but also involved in the regulation of many important organ functions. In addition, the intestinal tract can be called the second “brain” of human beings. There are 100 billion nerve cells in the intestine, which are mainly responsible for people’s subconscious activities. 95% of the pentothalamine, dopamine and many other hormones that control human emotions and make people happy are synthesized in the intestine. Therefore, a large part of the mood will be influenced by the intestinal nervous system. Bad habits make the intestines age prematurely The intestines also have an age, and as long as the intestines are young, people are likely to live longer and healthier lives. As the physiological age increases, the flora in the intestine will change. Take bifidobacteria, the beneficial flora in the intestinal tract, for example, most people in adolescence, bifidobacteria gradually reduced; in youth, the proportion of bifidobacteria gradually decreased from 40% to about 10%, the intestinal tract began to age; into the middle and old age, the number of bifidobacteria and other beneficial flora and further reduced. Therefore, the number of bifidobacteria is often used to determine the age of the intestinal tract, and also reflects a person’s physical condition. To ensure the number of beneficial bacteria in the intestine and make the intestine younger, you can eat foods that provide a beneficial environment for the intestine, such as soybeans that contain soy oligosaccharides, which help the reproduction of beneficial flora. So, the intestine with beneficial flora can rest easy? In fact, if we do not pay attention to maintenance, some bad lifestyle, such as irregular work and rest, diet, smoking and alcohol abuse, etc., will make the intestinal micro-ecological environment imbalance, which will lead to premature aging of the intestine. Especially the abuse of antibiotics and other drugs, will cause great damage to the intestinal flora, leading to premature aging of the intestine, E. coli and corrosive bacteria and other harmful flora lack of beneficial flora constraints, will take advantage of the opportunity to multiply, the heart, brain, liver, kidneys, digestive tract, skin and other important organs cause significant damage, leading to a variety of diseases, and even life-threatening. In addition, to protect the intestinal tract to prevent “meal drunk”, “meal angry”. The “meal drunk” is the urge to sleep after eating a meal. This is because just after eating, the whole body blood is concentrated to the digestive system, cerebral blood flow is reduced, resulting in reduced excitability of brain activity, so you want to sleep. At this time, if you eat and sleep, it will affect the intestinal digestion. So some people remember a famous health quote: “Walk a hundred steps after meals, live to ninety-nine”. However, the time and manner of this post-meal walk is quite delicate, generally about 20 minutes after the meal is the best walk, while walking the road side of the abdomen, the intestinal digestion is very good. The “meal anger” refers to the meal with bad mood. If you are angry after eating, you will have food accumulation, and if you are angry, you will not be able to eat. Western medicine believes that anger will cause sympathetic excitement, acting on the heart and blood vessels, so that the digestive function is weakened, appetite becomes poor. Therefore, no matter what unpleasant things you encounter when eating, do not get angry, so as not to affect the digestion and injury to the intestines. Defecation is a technical task When it comes to protecting the intestinal tract, the first thing most people think of is defecation. Defecation does reflect and affect the health of the intestinal tract, to defecate smoothly, we must pay more attention to the following points: 1, such as defecation feel obvious immediately to the toilet, do not go to the toilet while reading the newspaper or playing cell phones, so as not to distract from defecation. 2, do not squat toilet for a long time, if the squatting time more than 5 minutes still no intention to stool, it should end. 3, defecation should not be too hard, so as not to cause damage to the anus, should slowly increase the force, homeopathic force. If constipation, defecation difficulties, force is not only detrimental to defecation, but may increase cardiovascular pressure, many heart attack patients in the toilet suddenly, is because of improper force, the stool was not discharged down, the blood vessels first burst. When the bowel movement is not smooth, the appropriate anal lift more effective. 4, the end of the bowel movement should first lift the hips, and then slowly stand straight back to prevent vertigo or fainting. In addition, teach you a natural remedy to help defecate: the patient sits on a potty containing about 2000 ml of hot water fumigated. The heat stimulates bowel movement and softens the stool, thus facilitating its elimination.
