What foods are good for intestinal health?

The intestine is the largest immune organ and the largest detoxification organ of the human body. The intestine is the most important for human health. If a person's intestine is not good, the body's immune ability will become very poor and prone to illness. The intestine is a large organ, so how can we keep our intestines healthy? This is why we must pay attention to the amount of food we eat and the quality of food in our daily diet. Let's take a look at which foods are good for intestinal health.

Traditional Chinese medicine has an important conclusion about the intestines, which is "full but not full." So, many years ago, our ancestors noticed the importance of the intestines and warned that to maintain intestinal health, one must control food intake and not eat too much. In addition, if you eat too much, it will produce a large amount of toxins, which will damage the intestines. In addition, eating too much may increase the burden on the heart and kidneys and increase the risk of developing hypertension and diabetes. Therefore, to maintain intestinal health, you must pay attention to the amount of food you eat. According to modern health and nutrition theory, it is enough to eat until you are 80% full.

All high-protein foods are highly toxic foods. If your diet is mainly high in protein and fat (meat and fish) for a long time, the small intestine will not have time to digest the stool, which will increase the workload of the large intestine and prolong the intestinal emptying time. The opportunity for harmful bacteria in the intestine to reproduce will be greatly increased, inhibiting the growth of probiotics in the body. It has now been confirmed that colorectal cancer and colon polyps are related to excessive consumption of these foods.

However, dietary fiber has a very good effect on the intestines. It not only promotes intestinal peristalsis and speeds up the excretion of feces, but also inhibits the activity of harmful bacteria in the intestines, accelerates the excretion of cholesterol and neutral fat, and is beneficial to the stability of the intestinal microecological environment. Therefore, to maintain intestinal health, you can eat more whole grains, potatoes, beans, vegetables, fruits and other foods, because they are all high in dietary fiber foods.

I think everyone has a general understanding of my introduction. In fact, as long as you eat some easily digestible food, it is especially good for the intestines. As long as the intestines are well taken care of, the body will naturally be healthier. Also, you must pay attention to exercise every day, and the body's immune ability will be enhanced.
