The closer to the intestinal system, the more beautiful it is.

Many people have just finished eating and their spirits have not changed. They are still very sleepy. This is because what they eat must be digested in various forms first, and it is far from the small intestine. At this time, the stomach sac is opened by the food we eat, and we are no longer hungry, but in order to provide enough power for the stomach to work, the body has to gather extra energy and deliver a considerable amount of blood to the stomach. So sleepy after a meal, many scientists believe that it is because most of the blood flows to the stomach, resulting in insufficient blood supply to the brain.

The journey of food in our bodies

My stomach is growling not because I am hungry, but because I am cleaning when I can't digest it. Only when the stomach and small intestine are almost empty and the big troops move can the housekeeper roll up his sleeves and work.

According to statistics, even defecation three times a week is still within the normal range, especially for women, because women's large intestine is usually lazier than men's.

Plums (plums are certainly much more delicious). These two foods are not only rich in crude fiber, but also contain a special ingredient, which can help the intestine absorb more water, thus making the stool moist, soft and elastic. Generally, you can get better after eating for two or three days.

Your posture sitting on the toilet may be incorrect.

Sitting on the toilet, we can also achieve the effect of squatting and defecating smoothly-just put a small bench under our feet, lean forward slightly and find a good angle-and it's done! It's that simple. Now you can read a book, fold paper or concentrate in a daze while defecating, and your mother no longer has to worry about your hemorrhoids.

What kind of food does the intestine need?

After a slice of toast is cut by digestive enzymes in our stomach, the sugar molecules obtained are the same as those obtained by eating a few spoonfuls of white sugar.

Sugar molecules can form polysaccharide structures called glycogen, which are stored in the liver; Sugar molecules can also be converted into fat and stored in adipose tissue. Sugar is the only raw material that can be used by the body without much effort.

A lot of research on olive oil shows that it can prevent and care for arteriosclerosis, oxidative stress (the negative effects of free radicals on the body, which will lead to disease and aging), Alzheimer's disease and eye diseases (such as macular degeneration). In addition, olive oil can also play an auxiliary role in the treatment of various inflammations, such as rheumatoid arthritis. It can even prevent some cancers. In addition, for dieters, there is exciting good news: olive oil will not only not gain weight, but also help to lose weight.

The high temperature of cooking is a courtesy to protein, but it is a torment to the unsaturated fatty acids in olive oil from the inside out, because high temperature will destroy its chemical structure and greatly reduce the health properties of olive oil. So it is best to use edible oil or solid oil, such as butter and coconut oil. Although these oils only contain saturated fatty acids, their chemical structures are stable even at high temperatures.

Oil rich in unsaturated fatty acids is not only resistant to high temperature, but also easy to react with free radicals in the air. Free radicals are very harmful to our health. Although they are called free radicals, they not only don't like freedom, but like to stick to others. They will stick to all places where they can stick, such as blood vessels, skin or nerve cells, leading to vascular inflammation, skin aging and nervous system diseases. Olive oil has various benefits because its unsaturated fatty acids can intercept free radicals. But this effect must be exerted in the body to be effective, and it is too wasteful to stop free radicals in the kitchen. So please don't forget, be sure to tighten the bottle cap after using olive oil and put it in the refrigerator.

Rapeseed oil, linseed oil, hemp seed oil and other vegetable oils contain more α -linolenic acid (Ala, an ω-3 unsaturated fatty acid), which has anti-inflammatory effect.

Insisting on eating high-quality vegetable oil is of great benefit to people with chronic inflammation, frequent headaches or dysmenorrhea. If we can pay attention to replacing animal oil with vegetable oil, the pain symptoms can even be alleviated to some extent.

Nutritionists suggest that the daily intake of fat should account for about 25% of the total dietary energy intake, with a maximum of 30%. On average, this means eating 55 to 66 grams of fat every day. Of course, tall people who exercise more can eat more, and small people who exercise better can eat less. Regardless of the quality of fat, a McDonald's Big Mac can account for almost half of the daily fat demand, while a subway roast chicken sandwich contains only 2 grams of fat.
