Will the stomach and intestines "age" with age?
A normal person's "intestinal age" is not much different from his physiological age. However, with the increase of age, the pressure of life and work increases, and the mental stress increases. Coupled with improper diet, the number of beneficial flora in the intestine is decreasing, while the harmful flora is increasing, which eventually leads to intestinal flora imbalance and "intestinal age" aging, which not only accelerates the aging process of the human body, but also creates conditions for the occurrence of diseases and lays a safety hazard for health.

Common diseases after "intestinal age" aging include acute and chronic diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome, constipation and so on. Long-term constipation, diarrhea and irritable bowel syndrome will lead to dull complexion and increased wrinkles, which will make people's faces look old unconsciously. Clinically, in recent years, the aging trend of urban young people caused by "intestinal age" is very obvious, especially white-collar women. Although some young girls are only in their twenties, their "intestinal age" is close to that of people in their sixties. The reasons are partial eclipse, excessive dieting, unscientific weight loss, alcoholism, smoking, excessive staying up late and other unhealthy lifestyles. In addition, some people feast too much, have great mental stress and are depressed, which will lead to intestinal flora imbalance.

How to deal with "intestinal age" aging?

Gastroenterologists advise people not to abuse antibacterial drugs, especially not to use oral antibacterial drugs casually, to avoid accidentally injuring beneficial bacteria such as intestinal bifidobacteria, and not to give harmful bacteria a chance to make waves. At the same time, eat less high-protein and saturated fat foods that are not conducive to the growth of Bifidobacterium, and eat more foods rich in vitamins and cellulose such as vegetables, fruits, potatoes, beans and whole grains to inhibit the reproduction of harmful flora. Drinking milk often, or taking bee milk and ginseng properly, is also good for the intestines. These foods all contain more bifidus factors, which is conducive to the "expansion of the lineup" of Bifidobacterium.

In addition, young people should pay special attention to develop a healthy lifestyle, avoid excessive "surfing the internet" and staying up late, promptly dispel bad emotions, and take appropriate physical exercise every day, such as swimming, running and fitness. These healthy and beneficial activities will help to keep the intestines young.
