How to maintain a healthy gut?

Wang Chong of the Han Dynasty wrote in his book “On Heng”, “If you want to live a long life, your intestines should always be clear; if you want to stay alive, there should be no dregs in your intestines.” This means that we should pass stools daily or pass more stools in order to live a long and healthy life. Ge Hong of the Jin Dynasty pointed out in the “Baopu Zi”: “Longevity requires clearing the intestines, and immortality requires passing stools.” Sun Simiao, a famous doctor of the Tang Dynasty, also said, “People who have difficulty in defecating are more obscure.” It can be seen that our ancestors recognized the health hazards of “fecal toxicity” a long time ago. Their view still applies in the 21st century, and is still of great concern. In Taoist culture, there is a health care technique called the “Inverted Warehouse Method”. The so-called “reverse barn” is to compare the human stomach and intestines to a granary, using beef soup to induce vomiting to remove the food blocked in the stomach and intestines and all the filth in the stomach and intestines, the “granary” cleaned up, the disease will also be cured. There is an episode of the Korean TV series “Dae Jang Geum” in which Jang Geum cured the son of the head of the family of his stubborn illness by “dumping the silo”. The son had been unable to eat since he was seven years old, and Chang-jin thought it was caused by improper eating. In Chinese medicine, the stomach is called the “official of the granary” and is one of the six internal organs. Stomach stagnation can be cleaned up with the “inverted warehouse method”, other “internal organs” should also be kept open to be healthy and disease-free, Chinese medicine from a large number of clinical practice, summed up the “six internal organs to pass for use The theory of “the six internal organs are used” is an important guide to the treatment and health care of the six internal organs. Modern research found that the aging of people and “self-poisoning” related to the toxins produced by rotten food and bacteria in the large intestine, if not discharged in a timely manner, absorbed by the body can make people chronic poisoning, internal organs function will also be impaired due to the action of toxins. Long-term, repeated constipation, so that the intestinal corruption of food and bacteria can not be discharged in a timely manner, increasing the chances of self-poisoning and accelerating the aging process. Soong Mei-ling, who died at the age of over 100, also proved this with her secret of health care. Before she was born, she had to do one thing every day before she went to bed – an enema. In fact, she did not have constipation. The purpose of the enema is to clean out the toxins and achieve the detoxification effect. Soong Mei-ling insisted on enemas for decades, which in general is considered a troublesome and painful thing, but she took it as a pleasant thing to do. She said to her female adjutant: “every day painful enema, and then painful bath, I feel that I have completed a remarkable metabolic project, a small trouble can be exchanged for a painful sleep, why not do it?” Long-term constipation, due to fermentation of feces in the intestine easy to produce harmful gases, prompting venous reflux obstruction, there will be a loss of appetite, thick tongue, bitter and bad breath, nausea and bloating, dizziness, irritability, insomnia and other symptoms. Choose foods with woody fiber properties to promote gastrointestinal motility and thus bowel movement, such as spinach, celery, artemisia. Should also eat more food rich in gum fiber nature, such as tomatoes, pumpkin, carrots, sweet potatoes, taro, fungus, silver fungus, bananas, papaya and other foods. Spicy foods should be avoided as much as possible, and the proportion of coarse grains should be increased appropriately in the main diet. Drinking soup before meals can also have a laxative effect. Chinese medicine in the treatment of certain diseases, also often use the method of purging the bowels, as long as it is used properly, the effect is quite significant. If a child has a fever that does not subside for several days, if he is also accompanied by dry stools, hurry to pass stools, the fever will soon be reduced. Of course, the intestines are always clean is a principle of health, but the current “clean bowel” fashionable topic, we must have a clear understanding. Especially women, under the propaganda of public opinion, the skin dull, face spots are associated with the hangover, spend a lot of money to buy laxative drugs and health products, and even to beauty institutions to do cleanse the intestines, dreaming of overnight glow, spots, which is unrealistic, and even cause unnecessary harm to the body. Colon hydrotherapy is an important medical tool, so you must go to a regular hospital with medical qualifications and under the guidance of a regular doctor. Colon hydrotherapy has very important medical implications for improving the condition of the intestines. First of all, colon hydrotherapy can help improve colon dysfunction, try not to go for colon hydrotherapy just because of slimming.
