High-fiber fruits and vegetables help with bowel movements, healthy intestines and faster weight loss

The key to losing weight easily and not gaining weight again is to keep your intestines healthy! What you lose when you go on a diet are muscles and water. As soon as you resume a normal diet, the fat will grow back. During the weight loss period, just choose the right food and don’t be too picky about calories. What’s more important is to maintain a good intestine, which is the key to developing a physique that is easy to lose weight and won’t gain weight again!

Many people ask me, "How can I eat to lose weight?" I usually ask them in return, "Are your bowel movements normal?" Eating the right food will certainly help you lose weight, but if you don't have normal bowel movements, food residues, waste and toxins will continue to accumulate in your body. When your metabolic function cannot function normally, it will be useless no matter how well you eat.

Want to dump oil? It is more important to understand how to arrange!

Modern people’s lives are too busy. They always rush out every morning, and when they get home from get off work they are so tired that they want to rest immediately. It is difficult to find time to relax and go to the toilet during the day. Sometimes I finally feel the urge to defecate, but because I am busy with something, I often hold it in. Don’t think that if you hold back from going to the toilet today, you’ll be able to go to the toilet tomorrow and there will be no problem. Not having a bowel movement right away can dry out your stool and make it more difficult to have a bowel movement later.

Waste, toxins, and ammonia in the feces remain in the body and circulate in the blood. In addition to causing physical fatigue and bad breath, they also increase the incidence of colorectal cancer, colon cancer, and breast cancer. The normal amount and shape of daily bowel movements should be like two bananas, and they must be golden yellow and float on the water.

If the poop is black and even sticks to the toilet, it means there are too many bad bacteria in the intestines; if the poop sinks in the water, it means you eat too much meat. The average person has 7 to 11 kilograms of stool accumulation. As long as you eat more high-fiber fruits and vegetables, drink plenty of water, supplement essential fatty acids, and eat until you are 70% full at each meal, there will be space in the intestines to slowly expel the stool accumulation, thus reducing a lot of burden!

Active intestinal metabolism leads to faster weight loss

"A healthy intestine keeps you young" is not just an advertising slogan, it is also the key factor affecting weight loss effectiveness. The food we eat every day needs to be digested and absorbed by the intestines, and then the nutrients are delivered to the whole body, while unnecessary toxins and waste are excreted from the body. If the intestines are not healthy, organs throughout the body cannot be properly nourished and metabolic problems will occur.

85% of our body's immune proteins are in the intestines. Good bacteria and bad bacteria coexist. When the number of good bacteria is large, immunity will be enhanced. If bad bacteria reproduce excessively, immunity will decrease. Eating healthy, high-fiber foods regularly can keep your intestines smooth, expel bad bacteria from the body, and keep good bacteria in the body. On the contrary, if you choose the wrong food, toxins and waste will always remain in the intestines, and it will be difficult to avoid aging and obesity!

The more delicious the food, the more likely it is to get stuck in the intestines

Unfortunately, modern people’s diet is refined and lacks fiber, and they always eat too much and are too full, so many people’s intestines are like sewers. The intestines are always full of digested food residues, making peristalsis very difficult! When I was serving in the hospital before, I saw patients who fasted for 3 to 5 days. Even though they hadn’t eaten for so many days, they could still defecate continuously. This shows how much food residue is stuck in the intestinal wall!

Gaps in the intestines are conducive to peristalsis. If you want to stay healthy and beautiful, eat more high-fiber fruits and vegetables, and eat until you are 70% to 80% full at each meal. This will make the intestines active. With healthy intestinal function, the body's functions and metabolism will also be enhanced, and you will naturally lose weight faster.

Dietary fiber delays the rise of blood sugar and helps with bowel movements and weight loss

Dietary fiber can prolong the time that food stays in the stomach and slow down the absorption of glucose, making it difficult for fat to form. In addition, dietary fiber can promote intestinal peristalsis and is very helpful for defecation. Fiber will not be absorbed, and it can prevent blood sugar from rising quickly, moisturize the intestines and promote bowel movements, and enhance metabolism. How can you lose weight without this good helper!

Fruits and vegetables are always the best source of dietary fiber. It is recommended that you consume 7 to 9 servings a day. However, even if you eat so much, it is still not enough to meet the total dietary fiber requirement for a day. Therefore, you must supplement it with foods rich in dietary fiber, such as whole grains, mushrooms, beans, and drupes and seeds, to reach the recommended daily intake of 20 to 35 grams.

Nutritionist's weight loss advice

Many office workers have constipation problems. I often recommend that everyone eat more fruits and vegetables. They can also drink one or two spoons of oil containing Omega-3 essential fatty acids on an empty stomach in the morning to lubricate the intestines. For those who dare not drink oil directly, you can add it to vegetable and fruit juice or mix it into salad to eat together, which is also very effective in promoting bowel movements.
