The benefits of morning bowel movements

Everyone's bowel movements are different every day, and the more scientific time for bowel movements is after getting up in the morning. This is because morning bowel movements have many benefits, especially allowing toxic substances to be excreted from the body in a timely manner, which is very beneficial for both the gastrointestinal tract and blood purification. Therefore, you must insist on having a morning bowel movement on time every day. As long as you develop a habit, it will provide an additional guarantee for your physical health.

Having a bowel movement every morning is the best for your health!

First, the circulation cycle of food in the digestive system after entering the human body is about 24 hours, that is, from eating in the morning of the previous day to defecation in the morning of the next day, the dregs deposited after the food is digested and absorbed are stored in the large intestine, and finally stimulate the anal muscles to produce the feeling of defecation;

Second, after a day of digestion and absorption, the human body has formed food residues, and the human body's metabolic function is relatively slow at night. It is a process in which the various organs of the human body are self-repairing and removing toxins and waste. After a night of sedimentation, food residues and toxins and waste that need to be excreted from the body are accumulated in the large intestine and urgently need to be excreted. If you do not defecate at this time, these things will continue to be absorbed in the large intestine, and toxins may be reabsorbed into the blood, which is not good for health. In addition, the water in the residue will be further absorbed by the large intestine, which will cause dry stools and easy to form constipation.

Therefore, insisting on having bowel movements on time every morning will also shape the body's biological clock, and you will have a bowel movement at that time. This is a very healthy lifestyle and is also very necessary.

1. When is the best time to have a bowel movement?

Experts show that food eaten into the body is usually excreted after 12 hours, and it is best to defecate in the morning and after eating.

The best time to defecate in a day should be early morning, when you just get up because after a night of digestion, food residues have already been produced and the resulting feces have been stored in the sigmoid colon. The presence of feces in the sigmoid colon allows the feces to enter the rectum. When the accumulated amount is sufficient (about 300 grams), a certain pressure is exerted on the intestinal wall, which triggers a defecation reflex and leads to defecation. If it is not discharged in the morning, toxins will be produced, and the longer the time is delayed, the more toxins will be produced.

It is best to have a bowel movement before going to bed at night, because the accumulation of stool in the body is very bad for the body, causing bad breath, irregular menstruation, premature aging, poor gastrointestinal function and so on. When people defecate before going to bed, they must do it slowly and forcefully. Exerting too much force can lead to varicocele, hernia, etc. Clearing out dirt from the body is very good for the body. The most important point is to form a habit. Having a stable biological clock is good for the body.

2. How many times a day is best for bowel movements?

The normal frequency of bowel movements is once a day, and should be regular to avoid irregularities that may lead to dysfunction (such as constipation, hemorrhoids, etc.). It is best to do it in the morning - because people produce the most waste at night. If you only defecate once every 3-5 days, you are constipated, and what you excrete is old feces.

3. What is the best time for defecation?

The best time for defecation is 3-5 minutes, because the blood circulation near the anus is accelerated during defecation, and blood will stay there for too long, which is the fatal factor of hemorrhoids. Therefore, you should not have distracting thoughts or engage in other activities such as reading newspapers when defecating, because this will suppress the defecation center and disperse the blood flow it needs, thereby greatly prolonging the defecation time.

4. Five factors that affect defecation

1. The amount of feces entering the rectum is too small, and the pressure on the rectal wall is insufficient, resulting in the receptors in the rectal wall not being excited, and therefore no defecation reflex occurs. This condition is more common in people who eat too little or eat too carefully.

2. The rectum loses its normal sensitivity to the pressure in the intestinal cavity and cannot be excited. This condition occurs in people who do not have bowel movements for a long time, often take enemas, or abuse laxatives.

3. Damage to the nerves or spinal cord, such as multiple radiculitis, paraplegia and other diseases, which damage the nerves that transmit excitement and make the defecation reflex impossible.

4. The cerebral cortex suppresses the urge to defecate. The urge to defecate can be suppressed by stressful work, traveling, changes in daily routine, depression, and excessive fatigue. In addition, local lesions of the rectum, such as hemorrhoids and anal fissures, can cause defecation pain, which in turn causes the brain to suppress defecation.

5. Weak defecation, such as in the elderly and those suffering from long-term illness, because the diaphragm, abdominal muscles, and intestinal smooth muscles are shortened and weak, lacking the strength to push the feces.

5. Precautions for defecation

In order to ensure that the feces are unobstructed, you need to drink a lot of water. After getting up in the morning, drink a large glass of warm boiled water. On the one hand, it is beneficial to clean the stomach and intestines, and on the other hand, it is also beneficial to the activity of the intestines, so that it is easier to have a bowel movement.

Do not exert force when defecation, because when the feces is in the rectum, you will immediately feel the urge to defecate and it will be discharged naturally, so there is no need to exert force at all. When there is no feces in the rectum, exerting force is completely useless. It is a waste of emotion and useless work. Moreover, exerting force will cause the anus to shrink sharply and increase its blood flow, which can easily cause hemorrhoids over time.

Meat and spicy food are not conducive to secretion. Eating more green foods such as leeks, apples, bananas, etc. can help us defecate.
