Three bowel movements a day and one bowel movement every three days, which is constipation? What does healthy poop look like?
In life, eating, drinking and sleeping are the basic physiological activities. Eating and sleeping comfortably is the basic physiological activity.
However, the reality is often seldom satisfactory. Some people have problems here or there. Especially in the matter of defecation, there are not a few people who are deeply troubled.
How often is it normal to poop?
Defecation is closely related to the bowel. As the "gas station" and "sewers" of the human body, the intestines digest, absorb and decompose nutrients, receive unwanted wastes from the body, and are responsible for transporting them out. The work is dirty and tiring, so it is also the most prone to illness and functions. Obstacles, leading to abnormal defecation, making people unhappy!
So how can you tell if you have an abnormal bowel movement? It can be measured from frequency, referring to the normal number of bowel movements.
Generally speaking, it is better for the human body to defecate three times a week, and some people have a good appetite and a large appetite for digestion and absorption, or due to physical fitness, living habits and other reasons, they may defecate three times a day.
If you observe carefully, if you find that your stool is about 200g each time, the color is yellow-brown, the shape is like a sausage, the hardness is like a banana, and you can always defecate quickly, and there is a sense of fun after the defecation, then congratulations, this kind of You're healthy and normal, and you're ahead of most people in the country when it comes to bowel movements.
If the frequency of defecation is small, less than 3 times a week, it is not up to the normal level, or even the defecation cycle is very long, once a week or even once every 10 days, then there may be a problem of constipation. According to statistics, 1 in 3 people in China may be suffering from constipation.
In addition to less than three times a week, the criteria for constipation include dry feces, difficulty in excretion, inability to defecate, and a feeling of discomfort, and this condition has existed for at least 6 months.
The pain of constipation is not only in the experience of defecation, but more people care about their health. After all, the garbage that should be excreted stays in the intestines that do not belong to them. If this continues, I am afraid that "the whole body is poisoned, and the life will be soon." This kind of worry is not superfluous.
We know that feces are undigested food residues, consisting of water, undigested dietary fiber, protein, inorganic salts, fat, cells shed from the gut, and gut bacteria.
From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, these wastes can indeed be called "toxins", and the human body's largest detoxification pipeline is the digestive system, which is mainly composed of the spleen, stomach and digestive tract. The main waste discharged is stool, so defecation is also a process of detoxification .
If there is a problem with the intestines, the largest detoxification organ, it will cause the feces to not be excreted, and these metabolic waste toxins will remain in the body, which will inevitably affect the health of the body and cause a series of symptoms. Therefore, people with constipation are sometimes accompanied by bad breath and sallow complexion.
Therefore, it is reasonable for constipation patients to worry about their own health.
What should I do if I want to have a smooth bowel movement?
If you can't pass the stool and feel uncomfortable, some people may choose to eat bananas, drink oil, and use Kaisailu to solve the problem, but these methods can only be used as auxiliary, and sometimes they can solve urgent needs, but it is not the case for a long time. Good strategy.
To completely solve the problem of constipation, we must first clarify whether the cause of constipation is organic, that is, caused by diseases such as hemorrhoids and anal fissures, or caused by taking certain drugs. If it is these two reasons, then the disease should be cured. Or constipation can be removed naturally after stopping the drug.
However, if constipation is caused by long-term improper diet and emotional stress, it will eventually affect the peristaltic and secretory functions of the gastrointestinal tract and damage the intestinal tract, so in the final analysis, there is a problem with the gastrointestinal tract.
At the same time, the human body is a system that will "pull one hair and move the whole body". If a problem occurs in a certain link, it will also affect the organs of the whole body, showing various pathological states. Therefore, the problem of constipation is by no means a solution to the gastrointestinal tract. The Tao is so simple, but the holistic approach should be taken into consideration.
- Tong: dredges various detoxification channels of the human body such as the intestines;
- Solution: enhance the body's own immunity, detoxification function;
- Adjustment: Through nourishing and nourishing, straighten out the functional channels of the human body, and correct the disordered human metabolism;
- Tonic: Tonic for viscera, qi and blood, so as to restore the balance of the state of the body and obtain health.
Under the guidance of this idea, American ginseng, small red ginseng, Qingyang ginseng, rhubarb, atractylodes, cistanche, citrus aurantium, mirabilite, lotus leaf and these traditional Chinese medicines can play a role in combination. Detoxification and beauty capsule is composed of these three ginseng and six medicines, which is improved from Zhang Zhongjing's classic famous recipe "Dachengqi Decoction".
Among them, American ginseng nourishes the vitality of the human body; small red ginseng and rhubarb promote qi, activate blood and remove blood stasis, so that qi and blood circulate, the detoxification pipeline is unobstructed, and the phlegm, stasis and toxin are discharged, and the turbid qi is lowered; the lotus leaf makes the clear qi rise. The whole formula has the functions of invigorating qi and promoting blood circulation, laxative and detoxification, and can be used for constipation, acne and facial pigmentation caused by qi deficiency and blood stasis.
In daily life, some good habits can also help improve constipation. For example, every day, regardless of whether you want to have a bowel movement, you should go to the toilet and squat regularly; avoid prolonged sitting and do levator rectal exercises; ensure water intake, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits; ensure adequate sleep and improve sleep quality; adjust to release stress and maintain a happy mood.
