There are also some changes in the gut when dieting or reducing the amount of nutrients you consume. First of all, the intestinal intake of substances decreases, and the toxic substances produced also decrease. Not only the intestines can be rested, but also the detoxification organs, such as the liver, lungs, ** and kidneys. As the workload is reduced, they will slowly regain their former vigor and vitality.
So which diet is safer? How to gradually reduce the diet? After all, dieting behavior is ultimately for gut health and reducing the burden on related organs. But also diet moderately according to your own tolerance. Due to differences in physical conditions and tolerances, it is not possible to develop a uniform program. Here are the basic principles during dieting that need a lot of attention.
Take care of your health
Pay more attention to your health during the diet. During this time, we need to empty ourselves in order to improve our gut health or to normalize our gut. If we are not allergic to raw milk or are not lactose intolerant, fresh milk is one of the ideal foods. Similarly, soy milk is also a good choice.
In addition, a soup made from a small amount of green vegetables can replenish us with necessary vitamins during dieting. Drinks made from almond milk and other nuts (which are not recommended for allergies) are packed with nutrients that can help us get through tough dieting periods.
2. Chewing well is a way to gently improve the intestines
In order to better train chewing ability and produce a feeling of fullness, a piece of chewy old bread or gluten-free bread, as well as various types of nuts (avoid allergies), are essential. Preferably dried cocoa flakes or cocoa beans, which contain a saturated fatty acid, glyceryl laurate, which is effective in antiviral and antibacterial properties, and is found in breast milk.
3. Consume as much dietary fiber as possible
Dietary fiber is essential for the health of the large intestine. Dietary fiber can effectively reduce the time that food stays in the large intestine, so that the large intestine has a chance to rest. If strict dieting is really painful, we might as well try this little method: give the gut gentle care by chewing as much as possible.
Strict fasting at night
During the diet, we can no longer eat big fish and meat at night. Because it takes 18 hours for lunch and breakfast food to be digested, and the intestines need to cleanse and repair themselves, controlling dinner can control calorie intake and achieve the best dieting effect. For the first 2 to 3 days, you can't help but want to eat dinner, after all, it has been a habit for so many years, and it will be a little uncomfortable to suddenly not eat. Stick to it for a few days, and we'll find that it's really comfortable to eat less for dinner.
