Modern people have a fast pace of life, lack of exercise, and more patients with constipation. Some even have to defecate once every few days, and each defecation is food residue a few days ago. The waste stays in the body for too long, resulting in a load on the liver and kidney. In the long run, polyps will grow in the large intestine, increasing the probability of colorectal cancer.
Wu Yongzhi, a doctor of natural medicine in the United States and a doctor of nutrition, announced one of his health tips: keep defecating three times a day. If only one time is constipation. Mr. Wu believes that when we eat three meals a day, it is best to maintain three bowel movements and two bowel movements before 12 o’clock. Another time, in the afternoon or before going to bed. If you can keep defecating three or four times a day, you can not only eliminate the body’s stool, but also ensure that the edible oil and fat you eat are not recycled to the liver, thereby reducing the burden on the liver. Clean the large intestine, instead of turning it into a garbage dump or septic tank for accumulating waste.
How many times a day is normal? According to Mr. Wu, only one time is constipation. It is estimated that more than 90% of urban people are constipated. But isn’t it a bit difficult to have three or four stools a day? Li Chujun, deputy chief physician of the Department of Gastroenterology of the Sixth Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat sen University, believes that generally speaking, it is ideal to maintain a regular bowel movement once a day. In terms of time, 24 hours a day is a rhythmic cycle for the human body. Forming 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 for people.
“Of course, some people defecate 3-4 times a day. If there is no abdominal pain and abnormal stool composition, it can also be regarded as a normal phenomenon.” Li Chujun said that one time of defecation per day is enough to eliminate intestinal waste, and there is no need to artificially increase the number of defecations to 3-4. For those who do not form the habit of defecating 3-4 times a day, the body has no physiological defecation conditioning, so that they often have no desire to defecate, defecation becomes a burden, and constipation may become increasingly serious.
