Long-term constipation leads to obesity? Improve intestinal prolapse first, do 3 intestinal stretching exercises

Are you always suffering from constipation and can’t defecate no matter how hard you try on the toilet? Be careful about toxins and food residues. If they accumulate in the body for a long time and cannot be excreted, they may lead to obesity! What should we do if we want to effectively improve constipation and obesity problems? A well-known Japanese intestinal beauty expert said that in addition to maintaining a healthy intestinal environment through a balanced diet, moderate intestinal stretching exercises to improve intestinal prolapse problems are another option for people to take care of themselves at home!

Suffering from constipation and obesity? Intestinal prolapse affects body absorption

Ono Saki, representative director of the Japan Colon Association, wrote in her book "Why is my body like a terraced field?" The book "Just 15 seconds a day to give yourself a body that doesn't sag" mentions that if you want to get rid of constipation and obesity, you can only improve the intestinal environment. If you don't pay attention to the problem of "intestinal ptosis", it can't be said to be foolproof!

What is bowel prolapse and how does it happen? Director Onosaki pointed out that the human intestine is like a long water pipe, and like a swing, only the two ends are fixed. Therefore, compared with other organs, the intestine is more prone to sagging problems. Once the intestine prolapses, it will cause dirt and filth to accumulate inside the intestine, resulting in "intestinal turbidity", which means that old waste materials accumulate in the intestine.

Under this condition, it is naturally extremely difficult for the small intestine to perform its duty and complete the task of absorbing nutrients. In other words, no matter how high-quality the nutrients are sent into the small intestine, it is a waste of effort. Not only is the body unable to absorb the nutrients in the food, but the intestines are more likely to only absorb fat, leading to the dilemma of "gaining weight all the time."

Find out the problem of "intestinal prolapse"! The secrets revealed from the state of the belly button line

As for how to confirm whether you have the problem of "intestinal prolapse", Director Onosaki mentioned that compared to the time-consuming and costly "endoscopic" test, people can also self-identify by simply judging whether the navel line is "extending horizontally" or "extending vertically":

◆Horizontal extension:

When it looks like the symbol "-" (minus sign), it is a "horizontally extended fat belly button", which means that the intestines have sagged!

◆Vertical extension:

If the line of your belly button looks like the number "1", it is a "beautiful belly button extending vertically", indicating that you do not have a problem with intestinal prolapse.

Get rid of constipation by doing this! 3 Intestinal stretching exercises to stretch the whole body and restore intestinal health

Director Onosaki specially teaches everyone the following 3 intestinal stretching exercises to improve intestinal sagging problems, restore the body's normal detoxification function, and avoid constipation discomfort:

[Intestinal stretching exercise ① - "Double breathing" stretching exercise]

practice:

1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. Place your hands on your thighs.

2. While slowly raising your hands, breathe in through your nose for 5 seconds. (Coordinate with the movement of your arms and inhale air in the order of "abdominal cavity → chest cavity".)

3. While slowly lowering your arms, coordinate the movement of your arms and exhale through your mouth for 10 seconds in the order of "chest cavity → abdominal cavity". When you lower your arms, slowly arch your back so that your body is in a position where you are looking down at your navel.

4. After exhaling all the air, straighten your upper body, return to an upright position, and inhale through your nose. (Let the inhaled air flow into the abdominal and chest cavities in one breath.)

Expected effects and reasons:

1. The abdomen will rise during "abdominal breathing", and the chest will rise during "chest breathing". The intestines will also rise along with the abdomen and chest.

2. Conscious breathing can regulate the autonomic nervous system.

3. Deep breathing can improve blood circulation throughout the body and activate the intestines.

For those who have difficulty with steps 2 and 3 of the "double breathing" stretching exercise, it is recommended that you perform the stretching exercise in two types: "abdominal breathing" and "chest breathing" according to the following method:

★Abdominal breathing and stretching exercises

practice:

1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart.

2. Place your hands on your sides (approximately on both sides of your belly button).

3.Breathe in through your nose for 5 seconds to allow your abdominal cavity to expand.

4. Exhale through your mouth for 10 seconds while pressing your stomach down with your fingers. (If you don’t know how to do it, you can make a “huh, huh, huh” sound and exhale little by little.)

5. After exhaling all the air, instantly remove your hands that are pressing on your stomach and inhale at the same time. (Let the inhaled air flow in one breath.)

★Chest breathing stretching exercise

1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart.

2. Place your hands on the upper part of your abdomen. (About the bottom of the bra.)

3. Place your hands on your side abdomen and inhale through your nose for 5 seconds to allow your chest cavity (thorax) to expand.

4. While pressing the chest with both hands, exhale through the mouth for 10 seconds to suppress the expanded chest. (The feeling is that your breasts are shrinking towards the center of your body.)

5. After exhaling all the air, let the hands that are holding the side abdomen release instantly and inhale at the same time. (Let the inhaled air flow into the chest cavity in one breath.)

[Intestinal stretching exercise ②——"Sorry" stretching exercise]

practice:

1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart.

2. Place your right hand on top of your ilium (the protruding part of your waist bone) and your left hand under your ribs.

3. Slowly lower your upper body like a salute and repeat this movement 10 times. When doing this, extend your head forward as far as possible while counting "1, 2, 3, 4..." to the tenth time. (When you lean forward, press hard to make your abdomen concave inward.) Use your hands to coordinate with the movement of lowering your upper body to massage your side abdomen.

Note:

During these 10 movements, the left hand should be massaged while slowly lowering to the ilium. Finally, both hands should be at the ilium position.

Expected effects and reasons:

1. Promote bowel movements by lowering the upper body and massaging the side abdomen.

2. By improving bowel movements, waste substances are excreted from the body, the body is detoxified, and intestinal function is improved.

3. By stretching and relaxing the iliopsoas (muscles located in the waist), gluteus maximus (muscles in the buttocks), hamstrings (muscles on the back of the thigh) and other muscles, the whole body becomes soft.
