How to improve gastrointestinal digestion and regulation ability?

The stomach and intestines are the most important organs and tissues for the human body, because food must be digested and broken down by the stomach and intestines to become nutrients for the body to absorb. The strength of the gastrointestinal digestion ability directly determines the strength of the body. Therefore, it is very important to improve the gastrointestinal digestion ability. Let’s take a look at how to improve the gastrointestinal digestion and conditioning ability?

1. Eat with concentration

When people are highly stressed, they often lose their appetite and may even have stomachaches in severe cases. Indigestion and ulcers are most likely to occur when work is stressful, because long-term overexcitation of the sympathetic nerves will inhibit the activity of the autonomic nervous system, including the digestive and absorption functions.

Therefore, no matter how busy you are, you should not eat while looking at the computer, do not talk about work at the dinner table, and do not scold your children at the dinner table. Put down your work, forget your worries, relax and concentrate on eating.

2. Chew slowly

Everyone knows this saying, but few can actually do it. For those with weak gastrointestinal digestion function, chewing slowly is especially important. If the teeth cannot perform their job conscientiously and the saliva cannot provide sufficient help, the stomach will be forced to work overtime to further break down large particles of food into sufficiently soft chyme.

Are there teeth in the stomach? Of course not. It is so hard to rely on a soft organ to crush food! If the food is not crushed enough, it will not be easily digested by various digestive enzymes in the small intestine.

3. Eat on time

The stomach and intestines like to work in a regular pattern and secrete digestive juices at the appropriate times. If you often don't eat at a certain time, it is very easy to cause indigestion or heartburn and acid reflux.

If you often have irregular eating patterns, your stomach will lose the ability to judge whether you are full or hungry, and you will not be able to control your appetite. Never use losing weight as an excuse to skip a meal.

If you really want to control your weight by eating less, it is recommended that you still eat three meals on time, but reduce the amount of staple foods and animal foods, replace oily dishes with less oily dishes, but only increase the amount of vegetables and fruits, and drink more soup to increase the "volume" feeling of eating.
