Thanks for reading, I hope this helps.

As the saying goes, "if you want to live a long life, your intestines should be clear", which shows the importance of the intestines, and the lack of power in the intestines will easily cause diarrhea and constipation.

Especially constipation, the intestinal residue retained in the intestinal tract fermentation produces a variety of toxins, will be the second time counter-absorption, the first damage to the adjacent organs, such as the uterus, prostate, followed by the liver, it is now known that constipation can be caused by the toxins have 36 kinds, can lead to 179 kinds of lesions.

There are several ways to increase gut power:

1. Increase water intake.Drink about 1,500 ml of water per day. It is important to note that it is not recommended to drink water frequently, in small quantities and in small amounts.

2. Eat more high-fiber foods.High fiber foods are the best source of intestinal power, usually pay attention to consume more such as, celery, leeks, oats, beans and so on.

3. Supplement with probiotics.Probiotics not only increase intestinal motility, but also play a role in health care, nutrition, prevention and treatment of diseases (you can read the previous Q&A for a detailed explanation), probiotics are widely found in yogurt, yogurt cheese and other foods.

4. Massage the abdomen.Hands palms opposite each other, friction heat, to the navel as the center, clockwise massage abdomen, you can increase intestinal power through the method of massage, but also for the belly has a weight loss effect.

The intestinal tract is an important part of the digestive system, with the function of digestion and absorption, formation of feces, and elimination of toxins. When the intestinal tract has certain problems, it will lead to disorders in digestion and absorption, and symptoms such as bloating, abdominal pain, constipation, and diarrhea will appear.

Regarding how to restore the power of the intestines, Kirk believes that there are several things that need to be done:

1. Eat more food containing fiber, that is, food containing dietary fiber, dietary fiber can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis and promote the formation of stools, eat more can effectively relieve constipation and diarrhea, rich in fiber-containing foods are celery, bok choy, spinach, lettuce and other green vegetables. Foods like corn and sugar cane also contain dietary fiber.

2. Appropriate supplementation of probiotics, probiotics can be said to be the intestinal probiotics, not only help the intestinal tract for the decomposition and digestion of food, but also can be effectively absorbed out of the food in the toxic substances, to promote gastrointestinal peristalsis and regulate the environment of the intestinal flora, commonly used probiotic bifidobacterium trilobacterium, lactobacilli, yeast and so on.

3. More exercise: exercise for intestinal health is actually a very important thing, good exercise not only helps the peristalsis of the gastrointestinal tract, but also can effectively consume excessive body fat, reducing the formation of fat in the intestinal tract. For some patients with gastrointestinal dysfunction, appropriate activities after eating is a very necessary thing, why some post-surgical patients to get out of bed within 1-2 days after surgery, is to promote the recovery of gastrointestinal function and stimulate intestinal peristalsis.

4. Drink more water: drinking water helps to increase the water in the intestinal tract, avoiding too dry stool, preventing the stool for the intestinal mucosa of the scrape and the scrape of the mucosa around the anus, which is mostly seen in children, some children have dry stool, in the process of discharging the mucous membrane around the anus will make the mucous membrane around the anus rupture, resulting in the occurrence of bleeding.

5. In the restoration of intestinal power, but also to avoid some harmful intestinal behavior, such as excessive intake of high-fat, high-sugar, high-calorie food will lead to intestinal toxins in excess, and like spicy, irritating food will cause some damage to the intestinal mucosa, resulting in intestinal inflammation, ulcers occur.

These are the views of Xiao Ke, welcome your questions and additions, pay attention to Xiao Ke, to learn more about health knowledge.

Since China entered the new century, people's living standards have been improving and gastrointestinal diseases have become more and more common. Among them, constipation, bloating and bad breath caused by lack of intestinal power are troubling many people. In fact, in addition to drugs, we can gradually enhance gastrointestinal power in our daily life by developing some good habits.

First, eat on time and drink plenty of water in the morning. All organs of the human body are interconnected, the stomach and intestines and the brain also have a certain connection. Eating on time and drinking a lot of water in the morning can stimulate the stomach and intestines, based on which the brain will also "remind" the human body to produce stool to promote defecation. But modern people due to busy work often can not eat breakfast, water also drink less, over time, the stomach and intestines lose the brain and food "reminder" and gradually slow down peristalsis caused by constipation.

Second, cultivate normal intestinal flora. Reduced gastrointestinal motility is closely related to intestinal flora imbalance. It is recommended to drink more yogurt containing intestinal probiotics or eat some probiotic tablets to maintain the balance of intestinal flora and promote gastrointestinal motility.

Third, drink honey water in moderation. Honey has a certain lubricating effect on the intestinal tract, for gastrointestinal power reduced and accompanied by constipation, honey has a very good role in promoting defecation.

Fourth, chew and swallow slowly. When eating food as much as possible to chew some fine, help gastrointestinal digestion, reduce the burden on the stomach and intestines, promote gastrointestinal peristalsis. If the meal is swallowed, the food is larger will increase the burden on the stomach and intestines, so that the gastrointestinal power decline.

Fifth, proper exercise. Appropriate physical exercise can enhance gastrointestinal motility. For example, walking slowly after meals or more exercise is a good choice.

Sixth, reasonable diet. Usually pay attention to eat more such as celery, beans and other high-fiber food, which helps to promote gastrointestinal peristalsis.

Seventh, reasonable use of medication. If you are usually constipated due to slow gastrointestinal peristalsis, try not to take laxatives containing rhubarb or aloe vera and other similar laxatives, in order to avoid the formation of colonic black stool disease to make defecation more difficult.

Promoting gastrointestinal motility is not something that can be done overnight, and it requires us to develop good habits or mindset in various aspects such as body, diet and spirit.

The intestinal tract occupies most of the digestive tract and has the function of digesting, absorbing and excreting waste. People with normal intestinal motility usually have 1-2 bowel movements per day. If the intestinal tract is dysfunctional, abnormal bowel movements such as diarrhea or constipation may occur, and may be accompanied by abdominal bloating, abdominal pain, and other discomforts.

How do you restore gut power?

Normal bowel motility is required to keep the bowel functioning properly, which requires timely elimination of metabolic wastes. The following are a few measures to help restore normal bowel motility.

1. Drink water in the morning and have regular bowel movements:A glass of plain water every morning after waking up wakes up the intestines, which then defecate and flush out toxins. People who are able to have regular bowel movements every morning have healthier intestines and are refreshed during the day. It's important to stick to this habit and strive to develop a good biological clock.

2. Dietary fiber with exercise:Dietary fiber is what promotes intestinal motility, and foods rich in dietary fiber are mainly vegetables and fruits, such as celery and apples. Proper exercise after meals is also helpful in restoring intestinal motility. People who often eat vegetables and fruits and love to exercise are seldom constipated.

3. Probiotics and intestinal prokinetic drugs:The intestines themselves have a lot of flora, these flora are not harmful to the human body can also help to maintain intestinal function, people who often take antibiotics intestinal function may be damaged, probiotics are killed. Taking probiotics or yogurt with probiotics is helpful for gut health. Gastrointestinal stimulants such as mosapride can help with bloating.

What is intestinal hypodynamia and what are the symptoms?

Intestinal Hyperdynamia is the slowing down of the frequency of intestinal peristalsis, which is mostly caused by poor diet, poor living habits, and mental aspects. Symptoms of intestinal hyperdynamics are, such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, constipation and other symptoms. The treatment of western medicine is to take oral aids to digestion, increase gastrointestinal power medicine such as morphine, the effect is not too ideal.

Figure 1: Insufficient intestinal motility, may have abdominal pain, diarrhea and other symptoms

Intestinal Hyperdynamics under the eye of the TCM practitioner.

Before we do, let's talk about the functions of yang qi, spleen, stomach and intestines in Chinese medicine.

The function of Yang Qi: a defensive role, two gasification, three warming effect, four promote the role of the five fixed ingestion.

The Nei Jing says that yang qi, theIf the sky and the sun are out of place, then life is lost and not made manifestThe meaning is that Yang Qi ah, just like the sun in nature. It means that yang qi, like the sun in nature, if the sun in nature is no longer there, we do not think too much about it, just wash and sleep.

The importance of yang qi can be seen, so yang qi is the most basic substance that provides and maintains the life activities of the human body. For example, people breathe, think, move, etc., all on the basis of Yang Qi.

Figure 2: That's why people always say that people live for one breath, and that breath is Yang Qi.

Functions of the Spleen

Spleen qi is the main ascending and transporting force, transporting is transportation, and transforming is changing the finished pork into human flesh. Transportation is further divided into transportation of water and grains, and transportation of water and dampness.

1. Spleen Yang enough, the spleen's ascending clear function is normal, it can be dietary materials, full digestion and absorption, change into qi and blood, a variety of nutrients spread to the body of various organs. Therefore, the spleen is the source of qi and blood biochemistry, and the basis of the day after tomorrow.
   

2. Such as over-eating cold, spleen Yang damage, cold and dampness trapped spleen, the spleen's ascension of the Qing function is down, can not be completely, the food, fully digested and absorbed, change into the blood, etc., a variety of nutrients spread to the body of various organs and organs. And can not fully transport the garbage to the outside of the body, thus producing a lot of garbage, which is wet. Therefore, the spleen is the foundation of the day after tomorrow.
   

Figure 3: Cold foods, which can consume a lot of yang energy from the spleen and stomach.

Functions of the stomach and intestines

Chinese medicine to the gallbladder, stomach, large intestine, small intestine, bladder, San Jiao known as the six viscera, six viscera characteristics are, diarrhea and can not hide. And the five viscera are hidden and not diarrhea.

From the mouth to the anus is one long tube, thin in places and thick in others.

They store and putrefy the food and drink, and then divide them into clear and turbid, the clear ones being carried away to supply the whole body, and the turbid ones going downwards, and finally absorbing all the water and nutrients in them and discharging the useless dross out of the body. This is the function of the stomach and intestines.

The nature of the gastrointestinal tract is that function must go downward, so it is said that the stomach is obedient by passing down.Let's think about a tube, if it's clogged in the middle or clogged at the bottom. What happens? Upwards is nausea and vomiting, downwards is constipation. And so on all the gastrointestinal symptoms will appear. So this tube must be clear.

Figure 4: The gastrointestinal tract is a tube, and Chinese medicine says that it is characterized by passing and descending as smooth.

This tube is also to peristalsis, such as a minute of normal is peristalsis 60, and now because of the usual over-eating cold, damage to Yang, Yang deficiency, can not maintain a minute of peristalsis 60, can only be a minute of clock peristalsis 30, or less, which formed the intestinal power of the evidence of insufficiency.
We summarize, the usual diet is too cold, thus injuring the spleen and stomach of the Yang, Yang Qi is not enough to provide the gastrointestinal tract with enough Yang Qi, thus triggering the gastrointestinal tract peristalsis slows down the decline in function, which caused the decline in intestinal function of the disease.

However, not all declines in bowel function in Chinese medicine are due to this one cause, there are other causes such as stagnation of qi, blood stasis, tumor obstruction, and so on. I have only listed one of the longest standing examples.

How is this type treated?

1. Treatment can choose to drink Chinese medicine, here is not allowed to can Chinese medicine oh. But you can massage or moxibustion.
   

2. We can massage or moxibustion ourselves, but we must be careful not to burn ourselves. The selected points are as follows. Foot Sanli, Hegu, Guanyuan, Tianshu, Spleen Yu, Stomach Yu, Fenglong, Shangjiu Hui, Shenque and other points.
   
3. We can also use ginger, Neijin, fried wheat, Chenpi, decoction water as tea. Ginger has the effect of warming the spleen and dispersing cold to warm the stomach, Neijin and fried wheat help digestion, and Chen Pi regulates the qi of the stomach and intestines.
   

Figure 5: Confucius said that men can not be a hundred days without ginger, but do not eat at night Oh, ginger stomach cold, effect is very good.

1. Normally, the diet must pay attention to the light, avoid eating cold, fried, greasy and other foods.
   

2. Pay more attention to the weather and always add clothes don't let your stomach and intestines get cold.
   
3. Take a slow walk after dinner and be in bed by ten.
   
4. Getting up early allows you to exercise and have a nutritious meal.
   
5. Less anger, relaxation, fewer rooms, less smoking and alcohol.
   

Follow me to bring you a different kind of health and wellness knowledge.

The large and small intestines are the place of eliminating the gluten and the gas, is the place where the acquired gas and blood are produced. Six bowels can eliminate grain Yang gas depends on the large intestine in the colon pouch contraction expansion before and after peristalsis, if this function is weakened will cause indigestion, intestinal stagnant food and water, abdominal distension, the stomach stays in the food and water, acid Cao miscellaneous, belching enunciation, and in the long run, it will be brewed into gastritis or ulcers. It can also make the colon to stay in the fat, and in the long run, intestinal polyps can be formed, and further deterioration of cancer occurs, which will directly jeopardize the safety of life.

To maintain the normal peristalsis of the colon, in addition to dietary moderation, should focus on the following items. : each meal only eat seventy to eighty percent full, there is a sense of hunger before eating, to ensure that the intestinal tract has a sense of hunger; each meal should have fiber-containing ingredients, no less than one pound of vegetables or part of the skinned grains and cereals per day, . Let the fiber material to stimulate the colon pouch contraction expansion. Adopt a good habit of rubbing the abdomen after meals a hundred steps, but also in situ legs and feet to do kicking somersault movement. But also in an hour after the meal to do abdominal vomiting, spit out the gas to collect the abdomen and anus to spit out all the turbid gas in the abdomen, the gas straight to the lower Dantian bulging belly. The above movements are activities within the abdominal organs to promote intestinal peristalsis.

Constipation is a very common, mild and irregular symptom of abnormal bowel movements in life. Early constipation is more common in women, and like gray hair and wrinkles, constipation worsens with age. Constipation is not a major life-threatening condition, but we still cannot underestimate it. Especially for the elderly, constipation can lead to loss of appetite and restlessness, which is like an "invisible killer" jeopardizing the patient's health and affecting the quality of life.

Common Causes of Constipation

There are many causes of constipation, but for normal people, the most common and major factor is dietary. Eating less than the normal amount of food, or eating food that lacks sufficient dietary fiber can lead to constipation. Foods rich in dietary fiber are mainly grains and cereals, commonly potatoes, vegetables and fungi.

In addition, abnormal bowel movement can also lead to constipation, water and the right amount of fat is the key to promote normal bowel movement. The abnormal bowel movement will affect the regulation of the cerebral cortex and nerve center to a certain extent, which will lead to constipation of the weak type.

In addition, some constipation is also caused by diseases, which commonly lead to constipation, such as intestinal obstruction, intestinal tuberculosis and tumors, etc. These diseases will affect the normal fecal peristalsis. These diseases will affect the normal fecal peristalsis. There are also some patients who need to stay in bed for a long period of time, which can lead to constipation due to neurological dysfunction and lack of dietary fiber.

Food Choices for Nutritional Therapy

1. Food choices high in dietary fiber

Constipation patients should choose staple foods: seasonal grains and cereals, such as: corn, wheat bran and buckwheat rice and oat rice. Daily consumption of 500g of grains and cereals can meet the daily intake of dietary fiber. In addition, constipation patients should try to process their own staple food when possible. And grains and cereals are low-calorie food, people will not appear normal consumption of obesity. Constipation patients in the main food should pay special attention to eat less buns and a lot of meat.

2. Vegetables, fruits and mycorrhizal food choices

Constipation sufferers can consume more celery, leeks, radishes, and eggplants in their choice of vegetables. Onions, ginger, garlic, etc., which are gas-producing foods, can also be consumed. Fruits include bananas, apples and grapes. Grapes should be eaten with their skins on, as they are rich in anthocyanins, which have a significant scavenging effect on free radicals and can lower cholesterol and blood to a certain extent. The bioavailability of grapes is as high as 80%, so constipated patients can consume more in moderation. Mycorrhizal food is rich in dietary fiber, and it is also rich in micronutrients. Constipation patients should consume two different kinds of mycorrhizal food every day, which can play a role in promoting the synthesis of Escherichia coli. It is important to note that the consumption of algae can be combined with animal protein foods, which can be very effective in enhancing the therapeutic effect.

3. Protein food choices

Constipation patients should ensure that the intake of protein, beans and nuts are rich in protein and also rich in dietary fiber. In the consumption of poultry, eggs, milk and other food should pay attention to with dietary fiber containing vegetables and fruits together. Pay attention to the combination of meat and vegetables, and try to stew, simmer and stir-fry when choosing the cooking method of food. Try to minimize deep-frying and pan-frying. If you want to use oil to fry food, you should also use healthy fats and be careful to use less oil, so as to ensure a healthy diet.

When adjusting the diet and lifestyle does not work well, you need to resort to medication to solve the constipation problem, you can try Shuhui Laxative Capsules, which are herbal preparations with fewer side effects.

In fact, the bowel movement does not say that must be in the morning, every day when the bowel movement is possible, this depends on the individual's bowel habits, every day almost in the same time period of the bowel movement can be. However, if you are constipated, you may need to develop good defecation habits + diet, if you still have no effect, you can only go to the hospital for examination.

Since it is not clear whether the subject is in the early or late stage of constipation, let's analyze it according to the early stage. First of all, you should develop a good habit of defecation, if you have enough time in the morning, you can use the morning to develop a regular habit of defecation, even if there is no intention of defecation, but also in the toilet squatting for a few minutes, to develop a sense of defecation. There is a small suggestion, you can try to drink a glass of water or honey after getting up, can promote bowel movement, help defecation.

Diet, try to eat less greasy, big fish and meat, too fine food, you can add more fruits and vegetables in the recipes, especially recommended that you try more coarse grains, such as sweet potatoes, oats, etc., which are conducive to defecation.

Of course, if you have the conditions, remember to take a walk every day, exercise, exercise can also promote gastrointestinal peristalsis. I hope it can help the subject.

Adopt a good lifestyle and eat hot meals and hot food. Drink warm water and avoid freezing. I wish you a speedy recovery. [teeth bared] [teeth bared]
