1On May 29th, 958, Dr. Henry Cohen, the founder of the World Intestinal Health Organization, proposed that May 29th will be the World Intestinal Health Day forever. With the accelerated pace of life, there are more and more people with sub-healthy intestines. According to the statistics of the World Health Organization, the threat of gastrointestinal diseases to human beings is shocking: more than 654.38+million people worldwide die of gastrointestinal diseases every year, and 654.38+0.5 people in China suffer from gastrointestinal diseases, ranking first in the world.
People's intestines handle an average of 65 tons of food and drink in a lifetime, which is equivalent to the weight of 12 elephants. About 99% of the nutrients are absorbed by the intestine. More than 80% toxins in the human body are excreted from the intestine. In the daily diet, most nutrients are absorbed in the small intestine, while food residues that are difficult to digest and absorb enter the large intestine, and eventually feces move down to the rectum for excretion.
Methods of maintaining intestinal health:
Intestinal health is very important to our human body, and daily maintenance and conditioning is the key! Pay attention to maintaining a balanced dietary structure, three meals a day, combining thickness, especially eating foods rich in dietary fiber, such as taro, potatoes and sweet potatoes. At the same time, we should pay attention to "moderate diet". The so-called moderate diet means that the diet should be light, avoid eating "gluten-rich" meat and indigestible food, and eat less irritating foods such as pepper, pepper, mustard and coffee.
Pay attention to rest and relax. Reasonable arrangement of working and living hours, ensuring sleep and learning to adjust and control one's emotions are also important links in intestinal health care. It is best to exercise reasonably, insist on proper exercise, and quit smoking and drinking. If not, try to drink less and don't smoke.
