The amount of defecation is calculated according to the size of bananas.
Intestines are letters of health. There is nothing wrong with this sentence. Maybe tell you that you can see a person's health from stool, and I believe friends will feel a little. . . . . . . Nausea: "God, learn shit." But, yes. The color, quantity, smell and shape of stool are closely related to human health.
China has Dr. Cai Yingjie, a doctor of defecation, and Asia has the chairman of the World Microecology Association, Guanggang Zhizu. They are all committed to serving intestinal health and have done a lot of analysis on the health information given by defecation. Here's your way:
Just as meteorologists judge the meteorological conditions at that time according to the snowfall and observe the "snowfall" first, we also observe the stool from the "excretion".
Generally speaking, the more dietary fiber intake, the more defecation.
Asians with a normal diet have a daily defecation volume of about 125 ~ 180g. If the dietary fiber intake is particularly high, it will increase to about 200 to 300 grams.
Perhaps the reader will say, "What is 100 grams of feces? Going to the toilet is sitting on the toilet, so how do you measure the weight of the stool? " Indeed, even if we abandon the traditional concept that "shit is dirty", it is impossible to weigh pieces of shit on the scale.
So we will tell you the approximate standard: the stool is about 15cm long and as thick as a banana, about 100g. In the case of Asians, they excrete feces once and a half to twice a day, and many people excrete feces about three times.
In the daily diet, if the dietary fiber intake is low, the stool will be reduced. So Europeans and Americans defecate less than Asians. It is said that Europeans and Americans only take 6 0 to 9 0 grams of stool a day, which is 1/2 to 1/3 for Asians.
People in Papua New Guinea defecate one kilogram a day.
Contrary to Europeans and Americans, there are also ethnic groups that defecate far more than Asians, such as highland ethnic groups living in the mountains of Papua New Guinea. According to a survey by Professor Shi Xiu Jr. in osaka city university, Japan, their daily defecation volume is nearly one kilogram.
What will make them excrete so much shit? Is the amount of defecation unrelated to diet, but due to physical condition? The investigation team led by Professor Xiao Shi also studied this point.
From the research results, we know that their staple food is sweet potato, taro, sweet potato and other underground roots. They eat two meals a day, which add up to more than one kilogram, which can be said to be a large intake of dietary fiber. Besides underground roots, I also ate a lot of vegetables such as cucumbers or onions. Families also raise pigs, which are regarded as valuable assets, but only eat pork on special festivals.
They hardly eat eggs and milk, and protein's intake is less than half that of Asians. Nevertheless, their physique is not bad. The height is a little shorter than that of Asians, but the weight is similar, the chest is generous, there is no subcutaneous fat at all, and the body is very strong.
Nevertheless, the amount of defecation per kilogram is quite amazing. Therefore, the members of the Asian investigation team also try to eat the same food as them. Sure enough, from the second day to the third day, Asians also "successfully" discharged one kilogram of feces.
In other words, such a large amount of defecation is not a unique product of highland people in Papua New Guinea. Anyone can do it by changing their diet. Readers don't believe it, so give it a try. Steam one kilogram of sweet potato and eat it twice; In addition, eat some vegetables such as cucumbers and tomatoes.
In this way, in the morning after two days, about one kilogram of stool can be discharged. If the amount of defecation is still small, there may be something wrong with the intestine.
Stool stagnation in the intestine will produce harmful substances.
I believe everyone has heard of the phrase "intestinal stagnation", but probably not many people clearly know its meaning. In fact, this is also a cause of constipation.
When people are constipated, the stool will get stuck in the anus, and the stool behind will sometimes be blocked and cannot pass. In this way, feces like black and unburned charcoal will stick firmly between the folds of the intestine. This kind of stool that stays in the intestine becomes a burden that hinders the function of the intestine.
Even if the stool stagnated in the intestine is discharged, the intestine does not absorb water at this time, so soft stool is often pulled out; Because the stool is semi-mushy or turbid, we often mistake it for diarrhea. However, from a medical point of view, this is also a kind of constipation.
At this time, due to the stagnation of stool, the intestine also began to rot, producing harmful substances. These harmful substances will seriously damage human health after being absorbed by the intestine. As mentioned in the previous chapter, constipation will bring us all kinds of bad effects. Although we have said that "constipation will not kill people", in fact, sometimes constipation is the indirect cause of death.
Our blood pressure will be higher than usual, because we exert ourselves when defecating. People with normal blood pressure have a higher blood pressure during defecation 1 0 to 2 0. Especially in winter, patients with hypertension often faint in the toilet, and exertion during defecation is also one of the reasons.
As the temperature drops, blood vessels contract and blood pressure rises. In this case, defecation will be forced, and blood pressure will often rise rapidly, which will lead to cerebral vascular rupture and fainting.
The thickness of the stool is two to three centimeters.
Among the six kinds of stools, the stool discharged during constipation is basically round and hard; The stool discharged during diarrhea is semi-mushy, turbid or watery; When the body is at its best, the stool is banana-shaped.
Banana shape is the shape when it is discharged. If you line up a lot at a time, sometimes you will roll into a ball in the toilet.
If the stool is soft, it will be a semi-mushy cone; But if you keep a certain hardness, the shape will be like a coiled snake, and you can't see the shape of a banana at all.
The thickness of stool will vary according to the amount of food eaten. For Asians, the standard is 2 to 3 cm, the length is about 1.5 cm, just like a banana, and the weight is about 1.000 g. Therefore, it is the most ideal amount to defecate twice and a half a day.
However, it is not necessary to excrete the same amount of feces every day.
People are not machines, in fact, it is rare to expel a fixed amount of stool at such a regular time. So, you might as well think of it this way: pull only two bananas today and three tomorrow!
If we pay attention to the contents of our diet, such as adding foods with high fiber content or taking stachyose, we are likely to achieve our goal.
Yellow stools like babies are ideal.
Next, let's talk about the color of stool.
In Asia, it was commonly said: "When a baby is yellow, when he grows up, it becomes black or brown." Most books seem to be written in this way, which can't be wrong. But the way of expression needs to be discussed.
As mentioned above, the baby's stool is yellow. It is also true that most people will turn black or brown when they grow up. However, not everyone is like this. With the increase of age, stool does not necessarily turn black.
I have examined many people's stools in the past. As for the color of the stool, what surprises me most is that the stool of a Buddhist monk in a Zen temple is like a baby's yellow stool, showing a very beautiful milky brown.
No matter how strict you practice and firm your faith, you won't even have a stool of a different color from ordinary people! So why are their stools different in color from ordinary people?
Because they mainly eat tofu and vegetables every day, they don't eat meat at all, so their stool is yellow.
In other words, the stool discharged is black or brown, and the biggest reason lies in meat and fatty foods, that is, European and American diets.
On the other hand, if you eat the same food as a monk, even the feces excreted by adults will not be black, but may be ideal milky brown.
Eliminating black stool may be a serious illness.
Regardless of the monks in the Zen temple, in the case of adults, no matter how particular the diet is, the PH value will not be lower than 5.5; Even so, if we can reduce the diet in Europe and America as much as possible, the intestine will be acidic, reaching the same level as the baby.
Although black or brown stool is an early warning signal, there is no need to rush to the hospital. Just eat as much acidic food as possible to make the stool yellow.
But if the stool is darker than usual or purple, you should pay special attention. This is not only that the PH value is acidic, but also that there may be gastric or intestinal bleeding. In this case, the blood is mixed with the stool, and the color changes from red to black before it is excreted. You must see a doctor at once.
There are all kinds of black stools. For example, the discharge of tar-like stool may be caused by diseases such as gastric ulcer, duodenal ulcer or gastric cancer.
Some people excrete stool, which contains almost no ingredients of ordinary stool, but a mixture of blood and mucus, called bloody stool.
This type of stool is sometimes accompanied by severe abdominal pain or vomiting, which may be caused by intussusception, volvulus and intestinal infarction. If there is pus in the bloody stool and it lasts for several days, then it is very likely that you have colorectal cancer.
If people with constipation pull out dark hard stools, it may also be a sign of colorectal cancer. This is because there is bleeding somewhere in the large intestine, which has accumulated in the intestine for a long time and turned black.
Sometimes I think it's diarrhea, and soon I have bloody stool and go to the toilet frequently, which may be dysentery; Sometimes accompanied by lower abdominal pain or fever.
High-protein food is the cause of smelly stool.
No one wants to smell shit, but we hope you should check the smell of shit.
If you hold your nose and think that "smelly stool is a natural thing", you will miss the important information of the intestine.
Just as adult shit is not black or brown, it is not taken for granted that shit stinks. For example, the baby's stool smells sweet and sour, and it is definitely not smelly.
The main components of fecal odor are indole, fecal odor, hydrogen sulfide, amine, acetic acid, butyric acid and so on. In which indole and fecal odor are generated.
This is a substance formed by the decomposition of protein by intestinal bacteria. In other words, if the diet is biased towards European and American styles and a large amount of high protein is ingested, the stool will become very smelly.
In short, the odor of stool is the best evidence of the deterioration of intestinal environment. I hope readers will remember this.
Bad bacteria such as Welsh bacteria or Escherichia coli multiply in large quantities, which will form harmful substances that have adverse effects on human body.
Diagnosis of intestinal problems by fecal odor
We must take into account that since even we feel that our excrement stinks unbearable, it will inevitably affect our health.
If the stool smells, it is necessary to reevaluate your diet. Readers may wish to recall their diet these days, and maybe you will think, "Ah! Yes, I only eat meat recently. If you can manage your diet well and pay attention to the balance of nutrition, you can make your stool less smelly.
Stool sometimes gives off a strange smell, especially the special smell caused by diarrhea.
For example, the pungent sour taste of stool may be caused by abnormal fermentation in the intestine (so-called fermentative dyspepsia). Diarrhea is yellow at this time. So the color and smell must be carefully observed.
In addition, if diarrhea has a burning smell, it may be indigestion caused by the decline of small intestine function; Tarky stool, fishy smell, indicating that there is bleeding in the digestive system, and the amount of bleeding is quite large.
If the rancid smell of meat or fish is caused by watery and muddy diarrhea, it may be because a large amount of blood or mucus is decomposed and discharged into the intestine.
Just like this, although it is just a simple sentence "shit stinks", there are also many subtle differences.
