The intestine is a digestive organ in the human body that secretes digestive juices to promote the digestion and absorption of food. It can also concentrate food residues and form stools to be excreted from the body, which has the function of helping the body detoxify.
Only in daily life, many people will have some bad eating habits, resulting in imbalance in the intestinal flora, and it is easy to have problems such as constipation, diarrhea, and bloating.
If not treated early, it will affect the overall digestion, metabolism and detoxification, and can also lead to a series of intestinal diseases.
Therefore, for such people, we must do a good job in the maintenance of the intestine. Especially in terms of diet, pay attention to conditioning.
First, a light diet to avoid heavy taste
For people with abnormal intestinal function, three meals a day must be a light diet, and the food is best based on steaming and boiling. When cooking all foods, be sure to reduce the use of salt, peppers and other condiments, especially peppers can not be used.
Peppers contain a lot of capsaicin, which, once consumed too much, will cause strong irritation of the intestinal mucosa, resulting in intestinal spasms. It will not only cause people to have abdominal pain and bloating symptoms, but also lead to congestion and edema of the mucous membranes.
It will cause patients to have bloating, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and over time, the probability of intestinal inflammation or ulceration will be particularly high.
Second, increase foods rich in moisture and crude fiber
Especially for people who have difficulty defecating regularly, it is necessary to add foods rich in water and dietary fiber to the diet, such as white radish, winter melon, loofah, tomato, cucumber and other vegetables.
These foods contain a large amount of crude fiber components, which can improve the digestion and excretion function of the intestine. And contains a lot of water, to avoid the stool is too dry and hard, help the excretion of metabolites.
It can not only play the role of laxative, but also can quickly excrete some metabolites and toxic substances in the intestine, and protect the effect of the intestinal mucosa.
Third, warm and warm food is mainly prohibited raw and cold food
Especially for people with some intestinal inflammation, the diet must be mainly warm. The intake of any raw and cold foods, especially some cold foods and drinks, must be reduced or prohibited.
These foods will stimulate abnormal intestinal spasms, affect the blood supply of the intestines, resulting in a rapid decrease in intestinal function, and it is easy to have diarrhea and indigestion.
And in some raw and cold foods will contain a lot of bacteria, even parasites. Once ingested, the probability of developing a range of intestinal disorders is very high.
Fourth, reduce the intake of food that is difficult to digest
People with decreased intestinal function should reduce the intake of all difficult foods in the diet, such as some excessively hard foods, fried foods and barbecue foods, as well as various meats.
These foods are digested very slowly, which can increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract and cause digestive function to be affected.
And these foods are excessively stacked in the intestine, fermented under the action of intestinal bacteria, and produce a large amount of gas. If the patient has flatulence and abdominal pain, the probability of intestinal lesions will be relatively increased.
All in all, for people with intestinal problems, it is necessary to make dietary adjustments. In addition to the above 4 points, each meal should be controlled to eat, do not overeat.
It is also appropriate to eat more foods that nourish the intestines, such as dragon fruit, kiwifruit, figs, sweet potatoes, mulberries, apples, bananas, etc.
In addition, in the daily life should be appropriate to increase the amount of exercise, can improve the rate of peristalsis of the intestine. It can not only prevent the occurrence of indigestion, but also help improve the immune function of the intestine, so as to avoid some intestinal diseases.
