Don't underestimate the severity of constipation that has not improved for a long time, and be careful of the risk of cancer.
Professor Lu, who is known as the master of traditional Chinese medicine in China, mentioned in his book "Health porridge therapy: 97-year-old master of traditional Chinese medicine teaches you to keep healthy and prevent diseases one porridge a day" that the human body is a very precise instrument, and each organ has its own function. The small intestine is responsible for absorbing nutrition, and the large intestine is responsible for absorbing water. After food absorbs nutrients in the small intestine, it discharges toxins and wastes into the large intestine, ready to be excreted to maintain balance.
However, if the small intestine absorbs nutrients and wastes are discharged into the large intestine, and the above food residues and old wastes cannot be smoothly discharged from the body through defecation, then the large intestine of the human body will not only further absorb the water in the feces, but also reabsorb the toxins originally intended to be discharged from the feces into the blood, which will not only make it difficult to discharge the feces, but also increase the metabolic burden of the human liver.
Therefore, people must not ignore the seriousness of constipation! In addition to the initial symptoms such as hemorrhoids and intestinal ulcers, it is more likely to greatly increase the risk of cancer in the long run. According to statistics, people who have a secret history of defecation for more than 10 years have a much higher probability of developing colon cancer in the future than people with normal defecation. Therefore, once people have constipation, it is more secure to respond positively and correct inappropriate diet and living habits as soon as possible.
