The benefits of smooth bowel movements to the human body

Constipation is a common problem in the human body. It can be caused by bad eating habits or some gastrointestinal diseases. Constipation has a great impact on people, making them feel very uncomfortable both physically and mentally. Faced with this situation, people need to take some measures to regulate it, such as through diet therapy, taking some medicines and so on. Smooth bowel movements are good for the human body. Here are some benefits of smooth bowel movements for the human body.

benefit:

1. Feces are the waste of the human body. Once it is formed in the human body, if it is not discharged in time, the large intestine of the human body will continue to absorb the moisture and toxins in the feces. This is why people with constipation often have pimples, poor skin color, and hard stools. Constipation can also easily cause hemorrhoids.

2. Daily bowel movements can help remove waste from the body. It is the result of metabolism and will allow the body to re-input more and better fresh substances. If it is not done every day, the acidity left over from the body's waste will lead to slow metabolism and the presence of many toxins.

3. The human body temperature is over 30 degrees. If you leave raw meat outside in the summer, it will oxidize, rot, and grow bacteria in just a few hours. If the food we eat is not excreted in time and stays in the body for more than 24 hours, the consequences will be disastrous.

Causes of constipation:

1. Age-related

(1) The prevalence of constipation in the elderly is significantly higher than that in young and middle-aged people, mainly because their food intake and physical activity decrease significantly with age.

2. Bad living habits

(1) Dietary factors: Elderly people who have lost their teeth prefer to eat low-residue, refined foods. Or a small number of patients seek convenience and save time by eating a simple diet that lacks crude fiber, which reduces the size of their stool, increases its viscosity, slows down its movement in the intestines, and causes excessive water absorption, leading to constipation.

3. Psychological factors

(1) People with psychological disorders such as depression, anxiety, and obsessive-compulsive disorder are prone to constipation.

4. Intestinal lesions

(1) Intestinal lesions include inflammatory bowel disease, tumors, hernia, rectal prolapse, etc. These lesions lead to functional outlet obstruction and cause defecation problems.

5. Systemic lesions

(1) Systemic diseases include diabetes, uremia, cerebrovascular accident, Parkinson's disease, etc.

6. Iatrogenic (abuse of laxatives)

(1) Long-term use of laxatives, especially stimulant laxatives, can damage the intestinal mucosal nerves, reduce intestinal muscle tension, and lead to severe constipation.
