Stool is produced because food is not absorbed and is discharged through the end of digestive tract in the form of solid or semi-fluid. The stool is mainly composed of microorganisms such as Escherichia coli and anaerobic bacteria. Judging whether the stool is normal depends on the following aspects:
Shape: the stool in the traditional sense is a banana stool, which is shaped like a banana;
Color: The color is mainly golden yellow or light yellow, almost less than bananas. If there is green or black stool, there is something wrong with the intestine;
Smell: The stool is a bit unpleasant, but the smell should not be too strong. If it is particularly smelly, it can also indicate that there is something wrong with the digestive tract. If the patient eats a particularly high-protein diet, it will also have a foul smell, indicating that the patient's digestive function is problematic;
Frequency of defecation: normal defecation 1-2 days, 1 time, with individual differences. Individuals are/kloc-0 twice a day, which is within the normal range.
In fact, it is healthy to defecate several times a day, and there is no standard answer, so both situations can be considered normal, so don't worry too much.
Generally speaking, the frequency of defecation is no more than three times a day, that is, within a reasonable range, indicating that the stomach is still healthy and the digestion and absorption ability is better.
But the ideal defecation frequency should be 1-2 times a day. Defecation once every three days may be due to insufficient digestive ability, slow metabolism, less frequent defecation, or poor daily eating habits, which will also affect the number of defecation.
It should be noted that if the frequency of defecation is less than 3 times a week for a long time, and defecation is accompanied by obvious defecation difficulties, poor defecation and poor defecation, it indicates constipation;
In life, some people often defecate once every three or even seven days. Even if there is defecation, it is difficult to defecate. In fact, constipation is such a situation. Generally speaking, defecation for more than three days at a time is constipation.
1, more abdominal massage.
After a meal, people generally feel that their abdomen is full, and the digestion speed is the fastest at this time. You can massage your abdomen half an hour after a meal or when you feel your abdomen is full, but you should pay attention to the degree and length of massage.
Reasonable massage can promote intestinal peristalsis, help food digestion, thus reducing the digestive burden of gastrointestinal tract, so that the discharged feces will maintain normal regularity.
2. Let the intestines rest more.
It is suggested that the interval between two meals should be more than 4 hours to ensure that the intestines have enough rest time.
In addition, dinner should not be too full, mainly light, otherwise it will increase the intestinal burden, disrupt the intestinal rest and breed a series of intestinal diseases.
Step 3 drink plenty of water
The human body's demand for water is very large. It is necessary to ensure that there is enough water in one day to let the stool be discharged in a long-term humid environment, so as not to cause constipation.
If you don't drink water for a long time, the water in the human body will be seriously lacking, which will lead to dry stool and constipation.
4. Exercise properly after meals
In normal times, especially after eating, don't sit or lie down directly, which will slow down the peristalsis of the stomach and affect the speed of the body's metabolism.
Especially for people with constipation, it is recommended to exercise more or take a walk after meals. Even at work, they need to get up and walk every hour or two, which can not only relax the body, but also help promote gastrointestinal peristalsis and defecation.
