1, long-term constipation is easy to get colorectal cancer.
Modern people have a fast pace of life, lack of exercise, and more and more constipation patients. Some even defecate once every few days, and every defecation is food residue from a few days ago. Waste stays in the body for a long time, causing the load on the liver and kidneys. After a long time, it will lead to colorectal polyps and increase the chance of developing colorectal cancer.
Wu Yongzhi, a doctor of natural medicine and nutrition in the United States, announced his fitness secrets, one of which is: insist on defecating three times a day, and if it is only once, it is considered constipation. Teacher Wu believes that it is best to defecate three times a day and twice before twelve o'clock. Another time, in the afternoon or before going to bed. If you can defecate three or four times a day, you can not only eliminate the stool in your body, but also ensure that the edible oil and fat you eat do not circulate to your liver, thus reducing the burden on your liver. Clean up the large intestine instead of turning it into a dump or septic tank for accumulating waste.
It is normal to defecate several times a day.
According to Mr. Wu, constipation is only considered once. It is estimated that more than 90% of urbanites are constipated now. But is it a bit reluctant to defecate 3-4 times a day? Li, deputy chief physician of the Department of Gastroenterology, the Sixth Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, believes that generally speaking, it is ideal to keep regular defecation 1 time every day. In terms of time, 24 hours a day is a time rhythm cycle for the human body. Cultivating the habit of defecating regularly every day will make defecation a periodic and rhythmic function of the body, so that defecation can be completed easily and naturally without becoming a burden to people.
"Of course, some people defecate 3-4 times a day. If there is no abdominal pain and abnormal stool composition, it can be regarded as a normal phenomenon. " Li said that defecation every day 1 time is enough to eliminate intestinal waste, and there is no need to artificially increase the number of defecation to 3-4 times. Because for people who don't get into the habit of defecation 3-4 times a day, the body has no physiological reflex to the defecation conditions, so that they often have no will to defecate, and defecation becomes a burden, and constipation may get worse day by day.
