Eat right to have a healthy gut

Food is the first necessity of the people. Only when the intestines are healthy can the body absorb nutrients and excrete waste smoothly. Therefore, we must learn to keep the intestines healthy, because some studies now believe that intestinal diseases are the source of all diseases. So, let's listen to the diet tips I tell you.

1. Prevent constipation: the neglected bean dregs

"Now every family has a soy milk machine, which makes it convenient to drink soy milk, but the dregs are filtered out." You should know that among all soy products, dregs are the most beneficial to intestinal health. Dregs are rich in dietary fiber, which can balance the flora and regulate the microenvironment in the gastrointestinal tract.

Bean curd dregs can prevent and treat constipation. There are many reasons for constipation, and they are very complicated, but a considerable part of them is caused by bad eating habits, and lack of dietary fiber in the diet is one of the important reasons. The food is too fine and the residue is too little to fill the intestinal cavity and produce enough stimulation to the intestinal wall, which makes defecation untimely, and the water in the feces will be reabsorbed by the intestinal wall. Over time, it is easy to cause habitual constipation.

2. Promote digestion: Yogurt is suitable for drinking 1 to 2 hours after a meal

Yogurt can stimulate appetite and promote digestion. Many people believe that it is necessary to drink yogurt immediately after a meal because yogurt helps digestion. This is not entirely correct. We recommend drinking yogurt after a meal because the stomach acid is more active and the concentration is higher before a meal. The beneficial bacteria such as lactic acid bacteria and bifidobacteria in yogurt are "eliminated" before they reach the small intestine. Moreover, if you have a very full meal, drinking a glass of yogurt immediately after a meal will only increase the burden on the intestines, making us feel more bloated, and it will not accelerate the digestion and absorption of the original food, nor will it help control calories.

It is recommended that the best time to drink yogurt is 1 to 2 hours after a meal. This is because the food you eat will neutralize some of the stomach acid, and then consuming yogurt can promote digestion. In addition, the bifidobacteria in yogurt can also help improve constipation symptoms. It can control abnormal intestinal fermentation caused by harmful bacteria and stimulate intestinal peristalsis, thereby reducing excessive water absorption and relieving constipation symptoms.

3. Cold spleen and stomach: Cook apples and eat them

Apples are rich in nutrition when eaten raw, but if you have a cold spleen and stomach and are prone to diarrhea, it is best to cook the apples. This is because after the apples are heated and cooked, the dietary fiber pectin in them softens and is more easily used by the human body, making their nutritional effects more complete. Cooking apples is more suitable for some special groups, such as those who are bedridden, have imperfect oral and dental conditions, or have poor gastrointestinal function and are prone to diarrhea, as it can reduce chewing and reduce irritation to the gastrointestinal tract.
