skill

If you want to protect the intestines, you should stay away from all foods that will harm the intestines. It is appropriate to eat resistant starch, dietary fiber and oligosaccharides, because these substances are difficult to be decomposed and absorbed by the digestive tract after entering the body and will be transported to the large intestine. Intestinal flora can ferment and decompose these substances, stimulate the growth of beneficial bacteria, improve the intestinal barrier function, prevent the production of intestinal endotoxin and avoid the invasion of harmful metabolites. So eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, beans and nuts. In addition, proper exercise before going to bed and proper abdominal massage can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis and relieve indigestion.
