The sentence "Go to the toilet and go to the kitchen" has some truth in TCM health preservation. In the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, it is believed that the human body is the same as everything in nature, and the best state is the balance of nature. Therefore, defecation is closely related to the diet in the human body.

When people defecate, toxins and wastes in the body will be discharged with the stool, and at the same time, it has a certain bactericidal effect on bacteria in the intestine, maintaining the microecological balance in the intestine. In the kitchen, we will use various seasonings such as oil, salt and sugar when cooking food, and when these foods are too much, it will lead to imbalance of intestinal environment, which will lead to bacterial growth, obesity and other diseases, such as hypertension and diabetes.

Therefore, Chinese medicine believes that adhering to the balance between defecation and diet is an important way to maintain good health. Therefore, there is a saying that "going to the toilet and going to the kitchen" reminds people to keep these two balances.
