I don’t know when our bodies were suddenly “poisoned”, modern life has the concept of “stool”. The “hangover and toxins in the intestines” is the root cause of aging, is the bane of obesity, is the true meaning of wrinkles, is the source of all evil ah, clever businessmen seize the opportunity to launch a variety of “detoxification, detoxification” project. The “hangover” and no medical basis “hangover is a health killer”, in the overwhelming health product advertising, people will often hear the word “hangover”. Many people buy drugs to clear their bowels in order to be healthy and slim, not knowing that from a medical point of view, there is no such concept as “bowels”. For example, “there is a small belly because there is a hangover, defecation is not possible every time you finish, the accumulation of more belly is big …… everyone has 1-15 kg of hangover in the body.” Some of these statements are shared by many beauty institutions and beauty lovers, who believe that removing hangover can reduce weight as well as make the body healthier and the face more beautiful. Weight 50 kilograms, if you remove 5 kilograms of hangover, you will only have 45 kilograms, disguised for weight loss purposes. This is a simple arithmetic in the advertisement, so that the methods and drugs claiming to be able to remove the stool began to be popular, attracting many people to try. The term “hangover” is not a medical concept, as there is no definition of it in textbooks. In fact, this term is made up by the so-called weight loss products, only for the purpose of advertising and marketing. Literally, it is the accumulation of feces in the body, that is, feces that has not been excreted. What is “stool”? From the point of view of the food digestion process, after the oral chewing and initial digestion of food, through the esophagus into the stomach, and stomach acid, a variety of digestive juices fully mixed, most of the nutrients are absorbed by the small intestine, in this process, only into the colon, the water in the food residue is absorbed, the residue began to gather to form, and only then the formation of feces. Therefore, the so-called hangover should be the feces that accumulates at the end of the colon and is ready to be expelled from the body. At this time, the elimination of only food residue, how many toxic substances? When we make a big show of “detoxification”, in fact, is the intestinal residue in a brain “diarrhea” out, “poison” where? Constipation will have some impact on the human body, but it is impossible to accumulate as much feces in the body as these people advertise. Defecation is actually a very complex, multi-linked process, which can be affected by emotions, neuromuscular and other aspects, so you can’t presume to rely on drugs as a single link to solve the problem. Most of the existing “detoxification, clean-up” is one word “diarrhea”. The bowel cleansing itself is a therapeutic tool, but now it is being hyped as a cosmetic tool for commercial purposes. The actual fact is that it is not the so-called beauty, detoxification, weight loss and other effects, it is a temporary act in medical practice, generally used for long-term constipation patients and colonoscopy, often colon cleansing is not only easy to lead to electrolyte disorders, intestinal flora disorders, improper use will also cause intestinal perforation and other dangers and sequelae, colon cleansing does not make the skin complexion better, the role of spot removal beauty. Some of the so-called detoxification health products can quickly “detoxification, defecation”, because some contain strong laxative ingredients, can quickly promote people defecation, the main mechanism of detoxification is to stimulate the intestinal tract, to promote the excretion of stool. And these health products basically contain anthraquinone-based laxatives. Chinese medicines such as rhubarb, senna and cassia, and western medicines such as fruit guide all contain anthraquinone ingredients. The characteristic of this class of stimulant laxatives is that they can cause diarrhea in a short period of time after taking them. Thus, many people believe that the drug is effective in relieving constipation, not knowing that this type of drug can not be used for a long time. Long-term use of such stimulant drugs will form a dependence on the drug, even if the subsequent increase in dosage, the effect is not as good as before. In addition, long-term use of stimulant laxatives can also damage the peristaltic and secretory functions of the intestine, and once the drug is discontinued, it will not only aggravate the symptoms of constipation, but also lead to colonic melanosis (simply put, the pigment contained in many strong laxatives is deposited on the mucosa of the colon for a long time to form. It is possible to take strong laxatives for more than eight weeks, and patients with colon melanosis are likely to develop polyps that may increase the risk of cancer). Generally, the intestinal pigment can gradually disappear after stopping the drug for more than 6 months. However, if taken for a long time, the intestine will become dependent on laxatives, and long-term abuse will not only not help improve constipation, but also lead to disorders of colonic motility, which will eventually make patients unable to defecate on their own and rely on laxatives to maintain defecation function, forming a vicious circle. The result will cause damage to the nerve cells of the smooth muscle of the colon, which will lead to disorders in the motor function of the colon and a decrease in power, followed by more serious constipation. This is also known as “laxative colon” (refers to the long-term use of stimulant laxatives that damage the intestinal nervous system, resulting in intestinal motility disorders, decreased responsiveness to laxatives, a condition in which patients become dependent on laxatives, an important type of slow-transmission constipation, in line with the patient’s long-term history of taking stimulant laxatives.) In addition all types of detoxification products contain rhubarb to a greater or lesser extent. The main role of rhubarb is anti-inflammatory, long-term use will suppress the body’s own immunity, there may also affect the body’s absorption of certain nutrients, resulting in anemia and other adverse consequences. In fact, to develop good habits, relying on the body’s own metabolism, you can complete the natural “detoxification, detoxification”. First, to have good eating habits, to develop the habit of regular bowel movements. You can go to the toilet after breakfast, because the colon is more active at this time, easy to defecate, whether or not the intention to go to the toilet should be insisted on at that time, the formation of defecation biological clock feedback; usually have the intention to go to the toilet in time, defecation should focus on attention, do not read the newspaper or do other things. Second, in the diet to pay attention to the intake of dietary fiber. Dietary fiber itself is not absorbed, can adsorb water in the intestinal cavity to increase stool volume, stimulate the colon and enhance power. Foods rich in dietary fiber include wheat bran or brown rice, vegetables such as celery and leeks, and fruits rich in pectin such as bananas (note: unripe bananas contain tannic acid which can aggravate constipation). Increase water intake to enhance the stimulation of the colon. In addition, early in the morning after waking up a glass of water, before bedtime clockwise massage abdomen, can also promote intestinal peristalsis, help defecation. Third, to increase the amount of exercise, you can get up in the morning to walk, jog, do gymnastics. If there is really no time, you can do more half squat action in the office, you can also exercise abdominal muscle tone, to make up for the lack of exercise. Fourth, to regulate their emotional and psychological state, the occasional constipation do not have a psychological burden. Fifth, for some chronic constipation, a short period of medication is necessary to help the reconstruction of the normal bowel reflex. However, for the more stubborn constipation, you should seek the help of a specialist, check and analyze the causes of constipation, and use comprehensive treatment according to the severity and type of constipation.
