How to protect gastrointestinal health

All the food people eat is digested through the gastrointestinal tract, because the intestine is a habit of detoxification and also to prevent the invasion of various diseases, bacteria and viruses. Don't sit for a long time, exercise properly, drink plenty of water, increase gastrointestinal peristalsis, make food digest and absorb in time, and prevent food from remaining in the gastrointestinal tract, causing chronic enteritis or gastritis.

Eat slowly and don't overeat, because the food that enters the gastrointestinal tract will be digested and absorbed. Chew slowly, the food will be fully digested and absorbed, reducing the burden on the gastrointestinal tract. If you eat fast, food can only be digested through the gastrointestinal tract, which may increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract, and indigestion will also affect the absorption and metabolism of the intestine.

Yogurt is a semi-liquid fermented dairy product, because it contains lactic acid and has a mild sour taste, which can help the human body to better digest and absorb nutrients in milk. Lactic acid bacteria can maintain the ecological balance of intestinal flora, form a biological barrier and inhibit harmful bacteria from invading the intestine. Lactic acid bacteria can also produce a large number of short-chain fatty acids, promote intestinal peristalsis, thus preventing constipation. Various enzymes in yogurt can also promote digestion and absorption.

Gastrointestinal tract is the largest emotional organ. When the stress is too great, the digestive function will also produce emotional reactions. Under negative emotions such as mental stress and anger, people will have loss of appetite, epigastric pain, heartburn, acid reflux and so on. Their digestive function will also decline. Long-term defecation will lead to the gradual weakening of defecation reflex, and the stool will not be felt slowly, forming a vicious circle of constipation. So, defecation, don't bear it. Developing good defecation habits is a very important link in maintaining the intestines. But if there is no defecation, don't force yourself to defecate. Everyone's physical condition is different, so don't deliberately learn from others once or twice. Failure to defecate and forced defecation may also lead to hemorrhoids.

Intestinal health is first related to diet. Be sure to eat regularly and quantitatively, and avoid spicy, greasy, cold and hard foods, as well as fried, grilled and pickled foods. Usually, you can eat a mild and light diet, a low-fat diet, and eat more foods rich in dietary fiber, which is good for the intestines. Proper sunlight exposure can promote the absorption of vitamin D and help to change the growth of intestinal cells. If there is little chance of sunlight exposure, vitamin D can be supplemented appropriately.
