What is the intestine?

The intestine refers to the digestive tract from the stomach pylorus to the anus. The intestine is the longest section of the digestive tract and the most important one.

Intestinal function

The human intestine is about 7-8 meters long and is divided into the small intestine, large intestine, and rectum. The small intestine is about 5-6 meters, which is mainly responsible for absorbing nutrients in food, and the large intestine is about 1.6 meters, which is responsible for absorbing the remaining water in food, condensing food residues, forming feces, and finally excreting through the rectum through the anus.

The intestine is the body's largest immune organ, also known as the body's second brain, so intestinal health is vital. ^[1]

The intestine is not only responsible for digestion: in addition to the brain, the intestine is the most sensitive and delicate human organ, which can be called the second brain. There are more than 100 million neurons on the reticular nerve bundle with intestinal walls as thin as cicada wings. They can operate independently, judge independently, and give orders. If the intestine has a disease, it is bound to bring bad effects to the brain. The intestine is also an important immune organ of the human body. Wherever there is mucosa, there will be lymphoid tissue. Because the intestinal tract has the largest surface area and the most contact with foreign bacteria, the lymphatic tissue is the most developed, gathering 70% -80% of the body's immune cells, and successively fighting the invading bacterial viruses.

According to media reports, the incidence of colorectal cancer in Guangzhou ranks first among 31 tumor registration sites nationwide. Among all cancers, the rise of colorectal cancer is very eye-catching, the incidence rate has risen from fifth to ten years ago, and the death ranking has risen from fifth to third in ten years, all higher than the international average Level, close to developed countries such as Europe and the United States.
National cancer registration results show that the incidence of colorectal cancer in China has increased from 25 / 100,000 in 2003 to 31 / 100,000 in 2008. And the incidence of colorectal cancer in Guangzhou residents exceeded 45 / 100,000! This number ranks first among 31 tumor registration sites nationwide. (From a report in the Guangzhou Daily on June 20, 2012) ^[2]

congratulations! Your gastrointestinal condition is fine! Please maintain good habits and don't forget to share your health tips with your friends and family.

5 ~ 12 "Yes"

Please pay attention! You have a gastrointestinal problem!

Perhaps you are already suffering from imbalanced flora, and harmful bacteria in the intestines have begun to multiply. You need to adjust your eating habits, ingest beneficial bacteria (such as Pefilcon) every day, and resolve the problems caused by imbalance of flora as soon as possible.

13 "yes" or more

Take action quickly! Your gastrointestinal problem is already serious!

If you do not immediately improve the gastrointestinal environment, your flora imbalance will become more serious, your body's resistance will weaken, you will be vulnerable to infectious diseases, and you may even be at risk of serious diseases such as colorectal cancer, especially those who have recently become "easy to catch a cold" People who "feel tired at every turn" should pay more attention. Usually pay attention to eat more vegetables, fruits, beans, take Perfikon daily, supplement probiotics, improve the stomach, and regain healthy vitality!

Bad bacteria such as clostridia have risen sharply. This phenomenon is called "intestinal aging". In recent years, it is common in young people who lack physical activity, work stress and eating imbalances. Many people are only 30-40 years of age, but the intestinal age has aged to 60-70 years.

Studies have shown that the incidence of almost all adult diseases such as arteriosclerosis, senile dementia, and malignant tumors will increase sharply when intestinal aging and intestinal flora imbalance occur, leading to rapid deterioration of body functions and rapid decline in health index. It can be said that the aging starts from the intestine, and the aging of the intestine accelerates the aging of the whole body.

The stool is a "letter" from the intestine. The president of the World Microecological Society, Mitsuoka Contentment, clearly stated in his popular health book, "Intestinal Revolution," that in the past, people's disdain was a measure of human health. meter".

If your stool is dark, stinky, too soft or too hard, you may have ulcers or cancer!

If you have chronic enteritis, it may cause colorectal cancer!

If you are female, constipation is susceptible to breast cancer!

Such as hemorrhoids, anal fissures, constipation also has a great impact on the occurrence of colon cancer, breast disease and dementia and other diseases. Particularly serious is that constipation is also one of the common causes of acute myocardial infarction and stroke.

Gut health best longevity tips in the world

"Intestinal autotoxicity is a major obstacle to longevity." Nobel Prize-winning medicine, Russian microbiology and immunologist Mechenikov clearly stated in his book "Longevity" that intestinal health is the best secret of longevity in the world.

In infants and young children, the probiotics in the intestine account for 98% of the total bacteria, which dropped to about 40% in adolescence and 10% in middle age. After 65 years of age, if there is no supplement and maintenance, the proportion of probiotics Less than 5%. From the perspective of Mitsuoka contentment, bifidobacteria and lactic acid bacteria are excellent "good bacteria", but there are not so many in the intestines of ordinary people.

However, in the intestines of newborns, bifidobacteria dominate, and the number completely suppresses harmful bacteria and conditional pathogens that may cause disturbances.

The facts have proved this exactly. During the physical examination of the centenarians in Aksu, Xinjiang, Bama, Guangxi, and Tibet, the longevity hometowns in China, it was found that the proportion of beneficial bacteria in the elderly averaged more than 38%, which is equivalent to adolescents Level.

First: Do not use antibiotics or smoke. Long-term use of antibiotics will weaken the intestinal resistance and immunity, cause a decline in immunity, cause the growth of pathogenic bacteria, and cause imbalance in the flora. Smoking can cause intestinal motor dysfunction, cause hyperactivity or inhibition of peristalsis, and aggravate the symptoms of diarrhea or constipation.

Second: "Using" probiotics. Probiotics are like a green wall, they can defend against the "enemy" attack and faithfully protect human health. It can provide the human body with the necessary vitamin supply, change the intestinal environment, inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria and foreign pathogens, improve allergies and perform immune regulation, thereby maintaining the balance of the intestinal flora and improving its immunity. Drinking a bottle of probiotic drink after meals every day can help the intestines to exercise.

Taking care of the intestinal tract should be a good state of mind and a living state every day in our daily lives. It is even more important. At the same time, we should appropriately increase physical exercise and strengthen our own resistance, which can effectively resist the attack of diseases.
