Enemies of Stomach Health: Your habits are slowly making the intestines hollow

News India Live, Digital Desk: Enemies of Stomach Health: Do you know that our health foundes are our intestines? A healthy digestive system is important for the functioning of the entire body. If your intestines are not functioning properly, it can directly affect your physical and mental health, causing problems such as constipation, gas, indigestion, and even skin problems and weak immunity. Many times some of our daily habits, about which we do not think too much, are quietly weakening our intestines from within. Come, learn some such common habits that can act as ‘silent killer’ for your intestines: 1. Consuming less water is probably the most common but biggest mistake. Digestion slows down by not drinking enough water. Water is extremely important to easily advance food in our intestines, absorb nutrients and remove waste materials from the body. When we drink less water, the stool becomes hard, causing constipation problems and the waste materials stay in the intestines for a long time, which is harmful to health. 2. Avoiding fiber -rich food is an integral part of our digestive system. It is of two types – soluble and insoluble, and both are essential for healthy intestines. The soluble fiber softens the stool, while the insoluble fiber helps to drain the stool easily. Without sufficient fiber, the speed of the intestines slows down, causing constipation, hemorrhoids and other intestinal diseases. Pulses, fruits, vegetables and whole grains are excellent sources of fiber. 3. In the run-of-the-mill life of the irregular time of eating and drinking, we often have no definite time to eat, or sometimes we leave the whole food. This irregularity disrupts the natural functioning of our intestines. Our intestines work according to a clock. When we spoil the time of eating, the balance of acid in the stomach deteriorates, causing problems like indigestion, gas, swelling and abdominal pain. 4. Ignoring the insistence of defecation, many times we ignore or avoid the request for defecation due to work or other busyness. This habit gradually weakens our intestinal muscles and reduces their sensitivity. It dries up when the stool stops in the intestines for a long time, which makes the problem of constipation even more serious. In addition, the long -term waste materials in the body gives toxins a chance to dissolve back into the blood, which is extremely dangerous for health. 5. Excessive and unnecessary uses of antibiotics are undoubtedly a boon in treating many serious diseases. But their indiscriminate or unnecessary use spoils the balance of our intestines microbioms. Antibiotics kill not only harmful bacteria, but also the “good” bacteria present in the intestines. These good bacteria are important for our digestive, nutrient absorption and immunity. Determination of bacteria in the intestines increases the risk of digestive problems, nutritional deficiency and prolonged infection. By recognizing these habits and improving them, you can keep your intestines healthy. Drink regular water, eat fiber -rich diet, eat on time, pay attention to body signals, and use antibiotics only on medical advice. Remember, healthy intestines are the key to healthy and happy life.
