What are the methods for intestinal cleansing?

The largest immune organ in the human body is the intestine. There are more than 70% of immune cells in the intestine. The intestine is an organ in the human body that must not be idle. The intestine is working all the time. A healthy intestine needs to detoxify every day. The intestines are more fragile in the cold winter. Therefore, people should take special care of their intestines in winter. Intestinal detoxification is very important. Pay attention to intestinal cleaning at ordinary times. What are the methods to clean the intestines?

1. Beans

Beans contain a large amount of water-insoluble dietary fiber, which can reduce the time food stays in the intestines, prevent constipation, and reduce the risk of colon cancer. Soybeans, black beans and other legumes are rich in lecithin, which is an "expert" in breaking down oils and can promote fat metabolism. Experts suggest that if cereals and soybeans are eaten together, the protein utilization rate can be increased to 73%, which is comparable to meat and higher than eating only one type of protein alone.

Whole grain foods. Whole grains such as oats and brown rice are rich in water-soluble dietary fiber, which can effectively lower cholesterol, clean the stomach and intestines, regulate blood sugar, and help the intestines metabolize some carcinogens. In addition, this type of food is less processed and more nutritious, but the taste is average, so matching is important. Song Xin suggested that you can add some brown rice when steaming rice, and add a handful of oats when cooking rice porridge or making soy milk, which can not only upgrade the nutrition but also make the taste better. Fungal and algae foods such as kelp and black fungus.

They contain a large amount of plant collagen, which can effectively promote the excretion of waste in the body, reduce constipation, clean the intestines, and are a good helper for human metabolism. Kelp tastes great whether it is cooked in soup, stir-fried or served cold. Adding a few drops of vinegar when cooking not only provides seasoning but also helps calcium absorption.

2. “Good bacteria” foods

There are hundreds of millions of bacteria living in the intestines, such as probiotics and pathogenic bacteria. The role of the former is to balance the various bacterial flora and maintain intestinal health. When the "overall strength" of beneficial bacteria is less than that of harmful bacteria, the balance of intestinal flora is broken, which may lead to constipation, diarrhea and other problems.

Regular supplementation of probiotics in daily life can not only enhance the combat effectiveness of beneficial bacteria, help maintain intestinal health, promote intestinal peristalsis, but also improve the intestinal environment where the bacteria are located and inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria.

In addition to yogurt and cheese, some other fermented foods also contain probiotics, such as kimchi, natto, fermented bean curd, etc. In addition, in order to stimulate the growth of probiotics, you should also eat more foods rich in oligosaccharides, such as bananas, garlic, honey, onions and asparagus, because oligosaccharides are nutrients for probiotics in the intestines.
