At the same time, the rich fiber in fruits and vegetables can restore the natural peristaltic mechanism of the stomach and intestines, naturally saying goodbye to constipation.

3. Massage methods to increase intestinal motility

It is good for health for people who sit for a long time to stand up and move around or massage every 1-2 hours. The massage method is:

3.1. Hand massage: Sit with your left hand on your waist (thumb in front, four fingers behind), and rub with your right hand from the stomach to the lower left, through the lower abdomen, right abdomen and back to the stomach. Massage 36 times in total.

Then, put your right hand on your waist and massage with your left hand 36 times, using the same method as above but in the opposite direction. When massaging, you should relax naturally and use moderate strength. It is not advisable to massage when you are too full, too hungry, extremely tired or emotionally unstable.

When you inhale, your lower abdomen slowly bulges (the diaphragm will rise accordingly), and when you exhale, your lower abdomen slowly retracts.

What foods increase intestinal motility?

1. Yogurt: In addition to containing all the nutrients in milk, yogurt’s most prominent feature is that it is rich in lactic acid, which can break down the lactose in milk into lactic acid. For people who lack lactic acid enzyme in the gastrointestinal tract or who are prone to diarrhea after drinking fresh milk, they can drink yogurt instead. Lactic acid can inhibit the growth of mold in the body and prevent dysbacteriosis caused by the use of antibiotics. Lactic acid can also prevent the accumulation of toxins produced by the decomposition of protein by putrefactive bacteria, thus having an anti-cancer effect. Yogurt has a mild diarrheal effect and can prevent constipation in the elderly (elderly food).

2. Tomatoes: They are rich in organic acids such as malic acid, citric acid, and formic acid, which can protect vitamin C from being destroyed during the processing and cooking process and increase the utilization rate of vitamins. Tomatoes also contain a special ingredient - lycopene, which helps digestion and diuresis, and can assist gastric juice in digesting (digesting food) fat. Lycopene can also inhibit the growth of bacteria and fungi, and can treat angular cheilitis.

3. Orange peel: The main reason why orange peel promotes digestion is that the volatile oil (oily food) it contains has a stimulating effect on the digestive tract, which can increase the secretion of gastric juice and promote gastrointestinal motility.
