The stomach is often uncomfortable. Do you know how to keep the intestines healthy?

Intestine is the more critical digestive organ in the body. Its basic element is to digest and absorb nutrients in food, and at the same time, it can prevent waste and bacteria from invading the body. The intestine is called the second brain of human beings. Because there are many nerve cells in the intestine, it can help the brain to take charge of the mental state and produce choline to help the body become better.

However, all kinds of personal behaviors in life will damage the intestines, such as bad mentality, irregular three meals a day, frequent staying up late, uncontrolled smoking and drinking, drug abuse and lack of fitness exercise. Poor intestines can easily lead to abdominal pain, diarrhea, bloating, and sometimes nausea and retching. It is often said that there are three ways to cure the symptoms and seven ways to nourish the intestines. It is more important to eat well and refuse to eat food that will damage the intestines.

What food should I eat less when my intestines are often uncomfortable? 1, coix seed

Coix lachryma-jobi seed is rich in colorful green plant proteins, and the types and total number of amino acids are similar to those necessary for human body. At the same time, it also contains many minerals, vitamin E and its B vitamins and dietary fiber. Coix seed also contains triterpenoids, flavonoids and other bioactive chemicals, which have certain antioxidant effect and help to lower cholesterol. However, coix seed is cold, contains a lot of dietary fiber, can not be digested and absorbed, and people with intestinal discomfort can not take it in large quantities.

2, high temperature food

Most people like to eat high-temperature foods such as kebabs and hot pot restaurants, but regular consumption will destroy intestinal mucosa, weaken intestinal digestion and absorption, and even cause or aggravate intestinal diseases. In addition, eat less or not eat skewers and fried foods, because high-temperature frying or skewers will form harmful substances, including nitrite and nitrosamines, and uncontrolled consumption will increase the risk of colorectal cancer.

3. Alcohol and tobacco

4. Foods containing trans fatty acids and high fat

Although trans fatty acids can make food soft and refreshing, excessive intake will damage intestinal health.
