What are the effects of gastrointestinal maintenance

Gastrointestinal care is something that everyone needs to pay attention to. In fact, it is mainly to prevent some gastrointestinal diseases more effectively. However, gastrointestinal care should also pay attention to understanding scientific and effective methods. Diet must not be ignored in daily life. Daily diet should be regular and quantitative, and adequate water should be maintained. Spicy and irritating foods should not be consumed. Food must be cooked before eating to avoid bacterial invasion.

1. Water therapy: Water, as one of the six major nutritional elements of the human body, has special functions for human health. It is both a medium for the transmission of nutrients and participates in human metabolism. For many years I drank boiled water that had been boiled that day, but I always covered the bottle with a lid to protect the effective biological activity. Drink a large cup of it on an empty stomach every morning when you wake up. If conditions permit, you can lie down for 10 minutes after a meal. This will have a better effect. It can fully play the role of "internal cleansing" and stimulate the intestines to promote timely defecation.

2. Eat in moderation: Eat at regular times and in regular amounts, and eat appropriately when you are hungry or full. Generally, eat until you are 70% to 80% full. “The principle of eating is to neither feel hungry nor full. This is called the protection of the five internal organs.” I strictly follow this principle, so no matter whether the dish is good or not, I stop eating when I have almost finished eating, and develop the habit of not being picky about food or having an excessive amount of food.

3. The food should be cooked and soft. When people reach middle age, their gastrointestinal function also declines, so they need to eat cooked and soft food. The stomach likes warmth. If it is warm, it will disperse. If it is cold, it will condense. If it condenses, the stomach will be injured first and the spleen will not function properly. Because the function of resisting the invasion of bacteria is reduced, heating sterilization can prevent the habitation and growth of bacteria and reduce gastrointestinal diseases.

4. Massage your abdomen frequently after eating. Insist on rubbing your abdomen hundreds of times after eating to promote blood circulation in the abdominal cavity and strengthen gastrointestinal digestive function. It has a good therapeutic effect on diseases such as indigestion, chronic gastritis, chronic enteritis, and gastrointestinal neurosis.

5. Avoid drug damage to the digestive tract. Some drugs are irritating to the esophagus and gastric mucosa, and may cause adverse gastrointestinal reactions after taking them. It is generally better to take them during meals. For example, drugs such as ibuprofen, indomethacin, and phenylbutazone. Having food in the stomach can reduce drug irritation to the gastrointestinal tract. Occasionally, when I eat too much cold food and have abdominal bloating, I often take Huoxiang Zhengqi Tablets first, which are very effective. If you encounter dry stools, drink boiled water soaked with wolfberries. Wolfberries have the effect of helping digestion and moisturizing the intestines.

6. Defecation should be timely. Do not delay when defecation is needed to keep the intestines clean. At the same time, eating more fresh fruits and vegetables on a daily basis can effectively shorten the time that intestinal contents stay in the intestines.
