Losing too much weight will cause your intestines to become cold! 3-point KO intestinal stress

When the temperature is low, we may catch a cold, but be careful about our intestines getting cold too! People who lose weight excessively are also at risk of intestinal cold, because excessive weight loss will worsen the body's metabolism, making it difficult to burn body fat, causing the intestines to become increasingly cold. Once the intestines are affected by cold, not only will the intestinal environment deteriorate, but it may also cause decreased immunity, physical discomfort, and even difficulty in defecation.

When the intestines are exposed to cold, in addition to the decline in immunity, the intestines will also become weakened due to the cold, making it difficult to excrete old waste, destroying the originally balanced environment, and causing constipation and other diseases. In addition, once the body's metabolic capacity deteriorates, it will also cause cold hands and feet and edema.

Warm the intestines and boost bowel movement

The intestine is the largest immune organ in the human body. If the intestine is too cold or uncomfortable, you will definitely get sick. In his new book "Warm the Intestines, Eat to Strengthen Bowel Movements," Japanese intestinal doctor Tsuneo Matsuo said that it is easy to suffer from immune system-related diseases such as hay fever, food allergies, or asthma attacks in spring, and these diseases are all causes of damage to the intestinal environment.

In addition, chronic constipation, diarrhea and abnormal eating and living habits can also make the intestinal environment worse and cause physical discomfort. This phenomenon of putting enormous pressure on the intestines is called "intestinal stress."

Relieve "intestinal pressure": Eat breakfast every day

In order to relieve the "intestinal pressure" that causes physical discomfort, it is very important to consume foods that "warm the intestines". The key is to eat three meals on time every day, and breakfast must be hearty. The intestines are most active in the morning and cannot function properly without breakfast.

In addition, taking a nap after lunch can also calm your brain and promote gastrointestinal function. However, it is not recommended to eat dinner too late to avoid burdening the stomach and intestines. Please try to finish eating 3 hours before going to bed. And consuming more extra virgin olive oil is also the key to warming the intestines.

Key point 1: Take in food and nutrients according to the morning, noon and evening time periods

The focus in the morning is to "stimulate the reticular formation of the brainstem" to wake up the brain. It is recommended to take in nutrients in a balanced manner according to three meals. For breakfast and lunch, it is recommended to consume more extra virgin olive oil, which can effectively regulate the physiological rhythm of the intestines. For example, choosing the midday period when bowel movements are fastest and eating it along with water, yellow-green vegetables and extra virgin olive oil can speed up intestinal activity.

Key point 2: Eat less meat, more fish, and pair it with vegetables and seaweed

Research reports point out that eating too much red meat will increase the risk of colorectal cancer and cause damage to the intestines. Therefore, it is best to base your meal on fish (especially sashimi), and balance it with vegetables and seaweed. When eating salad, remember to drizzle it with extra virgin olive oil for better effect.

Key point 3: When eating, pair it with hot soup and extra virgin olive oil

If you want to relax your intestines, it is recommended to drink more hot soups with plenty of vegetables and extra virgin olive oil. There is no limit to the type of soup, even miso soup sold at a convenience store is fine, the key is to "drink it while it's hot", which is best for the intestines.
