Have you ever thought of “looking at the color” of urine and feces after going to the toilet? Have you ever heard of the “odor to identify disease” of stool health learning? Five things in life: eating, drinking, pooping, sleeping. La, said vulgar, but no one can not get around. On the toilet this is no more than ordinary “small things”, hidden a lot of learning about health. Do you know where the smell of poop comes from? First, the intestinal beneficial bacteria are fewer than the stool odor “Stool odor is the best evidence of the deterioration of the intestinal environment. Generally speaking, healthy people’s stool will not be particularly smelly, unless sometimes eat a lot of meat, but often just a moment, light diet will return to normal. But if there are people who defecate every day will be foul-smelling, such a situation is worthy of vigilance.” Second, the role of beneficial bacteria in the intestinal tract The bacteria in the intestinal tract usually have hundreds of species, which can be divided into three categories: beneficial bacteria, pathogenic bacteria and other bacteria. In the healthy state of the human body, more beneficial bacteria than pathogenic bacteria and in a dynamic state of balance to maintain the health of the intestinal environment. However, once the balance is broken, the beneficial bacteria can not resist the attack of pathogenic bacteria, which will lead to a variety of intestinal diseases, and the odor of the stool will also change. Different shapes of stools indicate diseases Observing the shape of stools can also provide timely information about some diseases. Normal stools should be cylindrical and soft. Abnormal shapes include: too hard, too rotten or even mucus or watery. The interval should be once a day, or every other day. 1. Normal human feces are cylindrical and soft.
