Health Reminder
Regular colon cleansing may disrupt the intestinal flora and barrier.
In medicine, there is no such thing as "stool" and "detoxification", and we do not need to cleanse our colons regularly in our daily life. "Healthy Henan" WeChat*** pointed out that regular intestinal cleansing may bring harm to the intestines and destroy the normal intestinal flora and intestinal mucosal barrier. If the enema is not done properly, it can also cause intestinal damage and intestinal perforation.
Laxative health products and teas are similar in nature, usually containing anthraquinone laxatives, which seem to have some effect at first use, because the large intestine is stimulated by pins and needles, making people always want to go to the toilet. Long-term application can lead to irreversible intestinal nerve damage and muscle atrophy, increasing dependence on drugs, and pigmentation in the intestinal wall, resulting in colonic melanosis. To regulate the intestines daily, you can replenish more water, drink more yogurt containing probiotics, and eat regularly.
Scientific diet] Beverages are preferentially selected pure fruit juice and vegetable protein.
Beverages, especially sugary drinks, are not good for health when consumed in excess. "Healthy China" WeChat*** reminds that when buying beverages, learn to identify scientifically, and avoid choosing drinks with too many food additives and too much sugar. Try to choose drinks that are low in carbohydrates (sugars) and have a high amount of fruit and vegetable juices. Preference is given to pure fruit juice drinks, plant-based protein drinks, and bio-fermented drinks. Try to avoid or reduce sugary beverages and limit alcoholic beverages, especially high-strength liquor.
Each person should keep the added sugar to less than 50 grams per day, preferably less than 25 grams. An ordinary bottle of commercially available beverages is about 500 ml, and if it contains 8-14 grams of sugar per 100 ml, drinking such a bottle of drink has already exceeded the daily intake of added sugars. The best thing to do is to try not to drink drinks.
Body Maintenance] To prevent stones and urinary tract infections, try not to sit as soon as possible.
Whether it is watching TV at home, driving long distances, having dinners, or playing mahjong, Liu Qingjun, chief physician of the Department of Urology of Beijing Shijitan Hospital, reminds everyone to sit down soon and hold less urine. Sitting for a long time can lead to stones, urinary tract infections and other urinary tract diseases, and drinking plenty of water and urinating frequently are the most effective ways to prevent stones and urinary tract infections.
Drinking water dilutes the urine, reduces the formation of stones in the urine, flushes crystals and microscopic stones out of the body, and prevents bacteria from multiplying in the urethra. If your physical condition allows, you should insist on drinking more than 2500 ml of water per day. It should be noted that strong tea, coffee, fruit juice, milk, etc. cannot replace water, because it contains more oxalic acid and calcium, and long-term excessive drinking will promote the formation of stones.
Chronic disease management] Gout patients should avoid overeating during the Chinese New Year.
The acute phase of gout often flares up at night, and people may wake up in pain and stay awake through the night. "Healthy Hangzhou" WeChat *** reminds that there are more holiday dinners, and gout patients should be careful about their diet.
reduce intake of high-purine foods; Patients should maintain an appropriate weight, control total caloric intake, avoid overeating, and eat less high-calorie foods, such as fried foods and desserts. Drink plenty of water, at least 2000ml a day, and avoid sugary drinks. Insist on exercise, gout patients should choose low-intensity aerobic exercise, such as walking, tai chi, etc., choose a time when the weather is sunny and the temperature is suitable, and avoid outdoor exercise in the early morning or cold weather. Low-intensity exercise can be done every day for about 30 minutes at a time. If you experience joint discomfort or pain, stop exercising immediately.
Common sense of life] If the refrigerator is overstocked, it is easier to breed bacteria.
During the Chinese New Year, the refrigerator will be filled with a lot of ingredients. The Henan Center for Disease Control and Prevention reminds that over-filling food will not only affect the refrigeration effect, but also cause a large number of bacteria to grow rapidly and cross-contaminate the food. Not all foods are suitable for storage in the refrigerator, such as cooked vegetables, where nitrite levels increase dramatically, and protein-rich and water-rich foods such as dairy, seafood, and soy products are susceptible to contamination by psychrophiles such as Yersinia and Listeria monocytogenes.
When storing food, pack raw and cooked food separately to avoid cross-contamination and prevent cross-flavouring. Eat as much as you want and avoid leftovers going into the fridge; The refrigerator is regularly organized and cleaned; Food taken out of the refrigerator should be cooked thoroughly during processing to avoid microorganisms entering the mouth.
