It turns out that “cleansing intestinal toxins and removing stool” can be so simple

A warehouse full of gold is enviable, but a belly full of gold is a painful thing. Taking in but not expelling, or taking in more and expelling less, has a great impact on your health. So what are some tips for clearing intestinal toxins and removing stool in life?

Only eating rough food without drinking water will make constipation worse!

Sixty percent of stool is water, and the rest is indigestible food residues, bacteria, bile pigments and electrolytes. Eat more fruits and vegetables, high-fiber foods, and drink plenty of water to soften stools for easier defecation. Because dietary fiber is the main component of intestinal feces, it can increase the moisture in the feces, expand the volume of the feces, stimulate intestinal peristalsis, and make defecation smooth.

At the same time, you need to drink enough water so that dietary fiber can play a role in lubricating the intestines. Otherwise, cellulose will "block the intestines" and make constipation more serious.

Some people like to eat hot things, such as peppers, coffee, barbecued and fried foods, which can easily cause "body fluid dryness" and lead to insufficient water in the stool, causing constipation.

Too much or too little "oil and water" can cause constipation!

If you eat too much meat, your stool will lack fiber. This is because if the food you consume is too fine, there will not be much residue left after it is absorbed by the small intestine. Some people in life go to the other extreme: eating only vegetarian food, thinking that this is more conducive to bowel movements. This is wrong. Although consuming too much fat is harmful to the body, consuming too little or not consuming it is also not advisable.

Fat can make stool smoother. At the same time, fatty acids stimulate the intestines and speed up intestinal movement. If you add a proper amount of fat to high-fiber foods, it can improve bowel movements.

The laxative ingredients in traditional Chinese medicine such as hemp seed, Prunus mume seed, peach kernel, apricot kernel, and cassia seed are oily. Mashing them to release the oil and then boiling them in water to drink can relieve constipation.

The dietary structure should be diversified, with a mixture of coarse and fine grains, and a combination of meat and vegetables, while appropriately increasing the amount of fat foods (milk, peanuts, sesame seeds, walnuts, pine nuts, etc.). Eating some oily foods for breakfast, such as sesame seeds, nuts, etc., can help soften the stool and relieve constipation.

If you hold back the urge to defecate, your stool will lose water and become dry!

The large intestine moves three or four times a day, moving waste from the colon to the rectum. When stool reaches the rectum, the rectum expands and you will feel the urge to defecate. If you often hold back the urge to defecate, the stool will have to move back to the rectum or S-shaped colon, which will disrupt your bowel habits.

The total length of the large intestine is about 1.5 meters, which is as tall as a person, and is responsible for absorbing sodium and water. If stool stays in the large intestine for too long without being excreted, the water will be absorbed and the stool will become granular, making it more difficult to excrete. Young people nowadays are under particularly intense work pressure and often hold their bowel movements. Gradually, the stool absorbs more and more water in the intestines, becomes drier and drier, and becomes increasingly difficult to pass.
