Что пить чтобы кишечник хорошо работал: Как заставить кишечник работать. 5 секретов от врача | Правильное питание | Здоровье

Кишечник на замке. Как наладить работу пищеварительной системы | Правильное питание | Здоровье

Хотите избежать клизм и слабительных, наладить перистальтику кишечника, улучшить цвет лица, настроение и сон, избавиться от болезненного вздутия живота и неприятного запаха изо рта? Уже сейчас измените свой рацион питания, включив в него продукты, обладающие слабительным эффектом.

Пусть в вашем летнем рационе будет в достатке растительная пища (овощи, фрукты, ягоды), богатая витаминами и минералами, растворимой (пектины) и нерастворимой клетчаткой, оказывающей послабляющее действие и стимулирующей моторную функцию кишечника.

Среди пищевых волокон нерастворимая клетчатка играет особую роль в нормализации полезной кишечной микрофлоры и снижении активности гнилостной микрофлоры, очищении организма от вредных продуктов обмена веществ. Ее грубые неперевариваемые волокна улучшают пищеварение, активизируют обмен жиров, заставляют активно работать кишечник, помогая ему ежедневно освобождаться от отходов. К тому же нерастворимая клетчатка стабилизирует уровень сахара в крови, тем самым продлевает ощущение сытости и снижает аппетит. Клетчатка способствует выведению из органа-ассенизатора излишков холестерина, а также облегчает жизнь полезной кишечной палочке. Пектины (ими особо богаты ягоды), набухая в кишечнике, образуют слизистые растворы, которые, как губка, впитывают в себя вредные продукты обмена веществ и выводят их прочь из организма.

Кстати, если каждый день есть примерно 400–500 г свежих овощей и фруктов, можно почти вдвое уменьшить развитие рака кишечника, считают ведущие европейские онкологи. Для начала съешьте за обедом один лишний свежий овощ, перекусите не сдобной булочкой, а яблоком или грушей. Казалось бы, пустяк, но ваш организм уже получил около 150 г полезных веществ, способных отвести роковую угрозу.

Не увлекайтесь пищей, содержащей животные белки (мясо, жирная рыба, творог, яйца), а также жирными и острыми блюдами, копченостями и соленьями. Ограничьте в рационе все, что имеет резкий вкус: редьку, редис, чеснок, хрен, горчицу, перец.

Сделайте ставку на ржаной хлеб грубого помола, исключив хлеб из муки высших сортов, а также выпечку из сдобного теста. Ежедневно кладите в первые и вторые блюда, кефир или простоквашу две столовые ложки пшеничных (ржаных) отрубей – и ваш кишечник смягчит свой жесткий нрав. С древних времен на Руси из отрубей готовят отвары и кисели, а в Америке этот полезный продукт добавляют в натуральные соки и тесто для оладий.

Почаще готовьте закуски из морской капусты – благодаря способности набухать и высокому содержанию минеральных веществ (особенно йода) она действует на этот орган послабляюще.

Пейте больше (не менее двух литров в день), особенно в жаркую погоду. Знайте: даже небольшое обезвоживание организма способно вызвать запоры. Угощайте кишечник теплыми и прохладными напитками, блюдами: холодные и горячие раздражающе действуют на его слизистую. Он не откажется, если утром натощак ему предложите стакан простой воды комнатной температуры или настой чернослива, приготовленный накануне вечером. Обрадуется и «бодрящему утреннему душу» – стакану прохладной минеральной воды, а днем – брусничному и клюквенному морсу. Эти напитки отлично настраивают кишечник на «рабочий лад».

Не увлекайтесь чаем, какао, кофе и алкогольными напитками: они содержат дубильные вещества и обладают мочегонным действием, что увеличивает вероятность запора.

Ужинайте не позднее 19–20 часов. Пусть ваша вечерняя трапеза состоит из легкоусвояемых блюд – творожной запеканки, омлета, овощного рагу, молочной каши. Подчиняясь суточным биоритмам и собственной усталости, кишечник к вечеру замедляет пищеварительную и ассенизаторскую деятельность, уходя на кратковременный заслуженный отдых.

Не забывайте о молочных и кисломолочных продуктах. Хорошо перед сном выпить стакан кефира, натурального йогурта, ряженки или простокваши: находящиеся в них полезные кисломолочные бактерии оздоравливают микрофлору кишечника, препятствуя размножению гнилостных микроорганизмов, нарушающих деятельность этого органа пищеварения.

90000 How Can It Help Your Health? 90001 90002 Drinking hot water can provide your body with the water it needs to replenish fluids. It can also improve digestion, relieve congestion, and even make you feel more relaxed. 90003 90002 Most people who drink hot water as a holistic health remedy do so first thing in the morning or right before bed for optimal health benefit. 90003 90002 Warm water to a temperature between 120 ° F and 140 ° F. Hot water should not be hot enough to scald your taste buds (temperatures of 160 ° F or more can scald and result in significant burns).90003 90002 Add a twist of lemon for a vitamin C boost, and you’re already on your way to better health. 90003 90002 Here are 10 ways that drinking hot water may benefit you. 90003 90002 The warmth of hot water creates steam. Taking a deep inhale of this gentle vapor while holding a cup of hot water can help loosen clogged sinuses and even relieve a sinus headache. 90003 90002 Since you have mucous membranes throughout your neck and upper torso, drinking hot water can help warm that area and soothe a sore throat caused by mucous buildup.90003 90002 Drinking hot water both soothes and activates your digestive tract. Water is, after all, the lubricant that keeps your digestion going. As the water moves through your stomach and intestines, digestive organs are better hydrated and able to eliminate waste. 90003 90002 Hot water can also dissolve and dissipate things you’ve eaten that your body might have had trouble digesting. 90003 90002 Drinking hot water can calm your central nervous system and lubricate your body. When your nervous system is primed for healthy and controlled reactions, you’ll find that you feel fewer aches and pains, as well as less panicked throughout your day.90003 90002 A person who has arthritis might get an extra benefit from using hot water — to calm their central nervous system. 90003 90002 Drinking hot water helps your intestines to contract. When that happens, old waste trapped in your intestines is able to pass out of your body. Drinking hot water regularly helps keep you, well, regular. But drinking it occasionally when you’re constipated is not a bad idea, either. 90003 90002 Hot water is no different than room temperature or cool water when it comes to keeping you hydrated.90003 90002 A common recommendation from health authorities is that an adult should drink eight 8-ounce glasses (about 2 liters or a half gallon) of water a day. That’s a hard target for many people to hit. 90003 90002 Starting your day with a serving of hot water and ending your day with another will get you that much closer to being adequately hydrated. Your body needs water to perform basically every essential function, so the value of that can not be overstated. 90003 90002 Drinking hot water wakes your body’s temperature control system up.As your body compensates for the warm temperature of the water, it brings your internal temperature down, and activates your metabolism. 90003 90002 Hot water also helps your intestines contract to clear out waste products that are bloating your body, which gets rid of the dreaded «water weight.» 90003 90002 Taking a warm bath helps your circulatory organs — your arteries and veins — to expand and carry blood more effectively throughout your body. Drinking hot water can have a similar effect. 90003 90002 Healthy blood flow affects everything from your blood pressure to your risk of cardiovascular disease.As a bonus, warmth from drinking hot water or bathing at nighttime can help relax you and prepare you for restful sleep. 90003 90002 Since drinking hot water helps improve central nervous system functions, you might end up feeling less anxious if you drink it. If you add some warm milk to the mix, you might find that you’re feeling even more calm than after drinking hot water, according to one study. 90003 90002 Drinking hot water temporarily begins to raise your internal body temperature. When you drink hot water, or when you take a warm bath, your body’s endocrine system activates and you start to sweat.90003 90002 And while sweating might be uncomfortable, it’s an essential part of getting rid of toxins and irritants that you’re exposed to in your environment. 90003 90002 Achalasia is a condition during which your esophagus has trouble moving food down into your stomach. 90003 90002 People with achalasia (and with eosinophilic esophagitis) have trouble swallowing and also sometimes feel like foods get «stuck» (dysphagia) in their esophagus instead of moving to the stomach. 90003 90002 Researchers are not sure why, but warm water can help people with achalasia to digest more comfortably.Drinking warm water with oily food or a meat-heavy meal might be especially helpful for people with this diagnosis. 90003 90002 Drinking hot water has plenty of benefits, but it is not a magical cure-all. And drinking water that’s 90053 too 90054 hot can actually damage the tissue in your esophagus, burn your taste buds, and scald your tongue. Be very careful when you drink hot water — pay attention to the temperature. 90003 90002 You should not drink hot water if you’re working in a hot climate or exercising.Research shows that drinking hot water makes you less thirsty. If you’re environment or activity raises your risk of being dehydrated, give yourself the best chance you can to stay hydrated by 90053 s 90054 drinking hot water. 90003 90002 Getting into the habit of drinking hot water does not take a lot of work.

Knowing about the health benefits will have you sleeping soundly. 90003.90000 Belching, gas and bloating: Tips for reducing them 90001 90002 Belching, gas and bloating: Tips for reducing them 90003 90004 90005 Belching, gas and bloating can be embarrassing and uncomfortable. Here’s what causes these signs and symptoms — and how you can minimize them. 90006 90007 By Mayo Clinic Staff 90005 Belching or passing gas (flatus) is natural and common. Excessive belching or flatus, accompanied by bloating, pain or swelling of the abdomen (distention), can occasionally interfere with daily activities or cause embarrassment.But these signs and symptoms usually do not point to a serious underlying condition and are often reduced with simple lifestyle changes. 90006 90005 When belching, gas or bloating interferes with your daily activities, there may be something wrong. Find out how to reduce or avoid gas and gas pains, and when you may need to see your doctor. 90006 90012 Belching: Getting rid of excess air 90013 90005 Belching is commonly known as burping. It’s your body’s way of expelling excess air from your upper digestive tract.Most belching is caused by swallowing excess air. This air most often never even reaches the stomach but accumulates in the esophagus. 90006 90005 You may swallow excess air if you eat or drink too fast, talk while you eat, chew gum, suck on hard candies, drink carbonated beverages, or smoke. Some people swallow air as a nervous habit even when they’re not eating or drinking. 90006 90005 Acid reflux or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) can sometimes cause excessive belching by promoting increased swallowing.90006 90005 Chronic belching may also be related to inflammation of the stomach lining or to an infection with Helicobacter pylori, the bacterium responsible for some stomach ulcers. In these cases, the belching is accompanied by other symptoms, such as heartburn or abdominal pain. 90006 90005 You can reduce belching if you: 90006 90024 90025 90026 Eat and drink slowly. 90027 Taking your time can help you swallow less air. Try to make meals relaxed occasions; eating when you’re stressed or on the run increases the air you swallow.90028 90025 90026 Avoid carbonated drinks and beer. 90027 They release carbon dioxide gas. 90028 90025 90026 Skip the gum and hard candy. 90027 When you chew gum or suck on hard candy, you swallow more often than normal. Part of what you’re swallowing is air. 90028 90025 90026 Do not smoke. 90027 When you inhale smoke, you also inhale and swallow air. 90028 90025 90026 Check your dentures. 90027 Poorly fitting dentures can cause you to swallow excess air when you eat and drink.90028 90025 90026 Get moving. 90027 It may help to take a short walk after eating. 90028 90025 90026 Treat heartburn. 90027 For occasional, mild heartburn, over-the-counter antacids or other remedies may be helpful. 90052 GERD 90053 may require prescription-strength medication or other treatments. 90028 90055 90012 Flatulence: Gas buildup in the intestines 90013 90005 Gas in the small intestine or colon is typically caused by the digestion or fermentation of undigested food by bacteria found in the bowel.Gas can also form when your digestive system does not completely break down certain components in foods, such as gluten, found in most grains, or the sugar in dairy products and fruit. 90006 90005 Other sources of intestinal gas may include: 90006 90024 90025 Food residue in your colon 90028 90025 A change in the bacteria in the small intestine 90028 90025 Poor absorption of carbohydrates, which can upset the balance of helpful bacteria in your digestive system 90028 90025 Constipation, since the longer food waste remains in your colon, the more time it has to ferment 90028 90025 A digestive disorder, such as lactose or fructose intolerance or celiac disease 90028 90055 90005 To prevent excess gas, it may help to: 90006 90024 90025 90026 Eliminate certain foods.90027 Common gas-causing offenders include beans, peas, lentils, cabbage, onions, broccoli, cauliflower, whole-grain foods, mushrooms, certain fruits, and beer and other carbonated drinks. Try removing one food at a time to see if your gas improves. 90028 90025 90026 Read labels. 90027 If dairy products seem to be a problem, you may have some degree of lactose intolerance. Pay attention to what you eat and try low-lactose or lactose-free varieties. Certain indigestible carbohydrates found in sugar-free foods (sorbitol, mannitol and xylitol) also may result in increased gas.90028 90025 90026 Eat fewer fatty foods. 90027 Fat slows digestion, giving food more time to ferment. 90028 90025 90026 Temporarily cut back on high-fiber foods. 90027 Fiber has many benefits, but many high-fiber foods are also great gas producers. After a break, slowly add fiber back to your diet. 90028 90025 90005 90026 Try an over-the-counter remedy. 90027 Some products such as Lactaid or Dairy Ease can help digest lactose. Products containing simethicone (Gas-X, Mylanta Gas, others) have not been proved to be helpful, but many people feel that these products work.90006 90005 Products such as Beano, particularly the liquid form, may decrease the gas produced during the breakdown of certain types of beans. 90006 90028 90055 90012 Bloating: Common but incompletely understood 90013 90005 Bloating is a sensation of having a full stomach. Distension is a visible or measurable increase in abdominal size. People often describe abdominal symptoms as bloating, especially if those symptoms do not seem to be relieved by belching, passing gas or having a bowel movement.90006 90005 The exact connection between intestinal gas and bloating is not fully understood. Many people with bloating symptoms do not have any more gas in the intestine than do other people. Many people, particularly those with irritable bowel syndrome or anxiety, may have a greater sensitivity to abdominal symptoms and intestinal gas, rather than an excess amount. 90006 90005 Nonetheless, bloating may be relieved by the behavioral changes that reduce belching, or the dietary changes that reduce flatus.90006 90012 When to see your doctor 90013 90005 Excessive belching, passing gas and bloating often resolve on their own or with simple changes. If these are the only symptoms you have, they rarely represent any serious underlying condition. 90006 90005 Consult your doctor if your symptoms do not improve with simple changes, particularly if you also notice: 90006 90024 90025 Diarrhea 90028 90025 Persistent or severe abdominal pain 90028 90025 Bloody stools 90028 90025 Changes in the color or frequency of stools 90028 90025 Unintended weight loss 90028 90025 Chest discomfort 90028 90025 Loss of appetite or feeling full quickly 90028 90055 90005 These signs and symptoms could signal an underlying digestive condition.Intestinal symptoms can be embarrassing — but do not let embarrassment keep you from seeking help. 90006 Feb. 13, 2020 Show references 90134 90025 Gas in the digestive tract.

Length of Small and Large Intestines 90001 90002 Your intestines are a crucial part of your digestive system. They’re where most of the vitamins and nutrients from food are broken down and absorbed into your bloodstream. 90003 90002 Intestines do a lot of work to help give you the energy and nourishment you need to stay healthy, and to function and thrive every day. 90003 90002 So, have you ever wondered how your intestines work or how long they are? We’ll help you better understand what your intestines do.90003 90002 Your small intestine runs from your stomach to your large intestine. It continues the process of digestion that started in your stomach. 90003 90002 The small intestine absorbs nutrients and water from digested food. In fact, 90 percent of food absorption happens in the small intestine. What’s left over from this process is then passed into your large intestine. 90003 90002 Your small intestine is divided into three different parts: 90003 90014 90015 90016 Duodenum: 90017 In the duodenum various enzymes, including those from the pancreas and liver, are used to further break down and absorb partially digested nutrients from the stomach.90018 90015 90016 Jejunum 90017: Further digestion and absorption occurs in the jejunum. 90018 90015 90016 Ileum: 90017 The ileum absorbs any remaining nutrients that were not absorbed in the jejunum. It’s connected to the first part of your large intestine, called the cecum. 90018 90027 90002 A variety of health conditions can affect the small intestine. These include: 90003 90002 The length of the small intestine can vary between about 10 feet (3 meters) to over 16 feet (5 meters). For comparison, a standard basketball hoop is 10 feet tall.90003 90002 The different sections of the small intestine are also different lengths. The ileum is the longest section while the duodenum is the shortest. 90003 90002 Since it’s so long, you may wonder why the small intestine is called «small» in the first place. This terminology actually refers to the diameter of the small intestine, which is about 1 inch (around 2.5 centimeters). 90003 90002 Despite its small diameter, the small intestine actually has a very high surface area. That’s because its walls are actually covered in folds and hair-like projections.This increased surface area allows for more absorption of nutrients and water. 90003 90002 Your large intestine runs from your small intestine to your anus. 90003 90002 It absorbs water and electrolytes from the food you’ve eaten. Any remaining food products that are not absorbed in the large intestine become stool. 90003 90002 Additionally, bacteria found in the large intestine can help to further break down any remaining nutrients. Vitamins such as vitamin K are also produced in the large intestine.90003 90002 Like the small intestine, the large intestine consists of several different parts: 90003 90014 90015 90016 Cecum: 90017 The cecum receives food from the small intestine. It’s involved in absorption of water and electrolytes. 90018 90015 90016 Colon: 90017 The colon consists of several parts — the ascending colon, transverse colon, descending colon, and sigmoid colon. Like the cecum, it absorbs water and electrolytes. 90018 90015 90016 Rectum: 90017 Undigested food material moves from the colon to the rectum.The rectum holds stool until it can be eliminated from the body. 90018 90015 90016 Anus: 90017 Stool passes through your anus and out of your body when you have a bowel movement. 90018 90027 90002 There are also some specific health conditions that can affect the large intestine. Some of the most common include: 90003 90002 The large intestine is about 5 feet (1.5 meters) long. If you stretched out your large intestine, it would be about as long as the width of a queen size bed. 90003 90002 The colon is the longest portion of your large intestine.The other parts — the cecum, rectum, and anus — are all much shorter, only a few inches in length at the most. 90003 90002 The large intestine also has a larger diameter than the small intestine. It’s about 3 inches (around 7.6 centimeters) wide. 90003 90002 Together your small and large intestines are about 15 feet or more in length. 90003 90002 According to a 2014 study, the total surface area of ​​your intestines is about half the size of a badminton court. 90003 90002 Your intestines have the very important job of helping to break down and absorb nutrients from what you eat and drink.Once these nutrients are absorbed, they can be delivered via the bloodstream to the rest of your body. 90003.90000 Drinking hot water: Benefits and risks 90001 90002 While drinking water of any temperature can support overall wellbeing, drinking hot water is thought to provide a range of additional health benefits. 90003 90002 People have consumed hot drinks for thousands of years. Folk medical literature is filled with stories of how hot water can improve health, but researchers have only just begun to look into the benefits of drinking hot water. 90003 90002 This article looks at eight of the potential benefits and the theories behind them.90003 90008 1. Healthier digestion 90009 90002 When a person does not drink enough water, the small intestine absorbs most of the water consumed through food and drinking. This causes dehydration and can make it more difficult to have a bowel movement. 90003 90002 Chronic dehydration can cause corresponding chronic constipation. This constipation can make bowel movements painful and may cause other problems, including hemorrhoids and bloating. 90003 90002 Drinking hot water helps to break down food faster than drinking cold or warm water.It reduces the risk of constipation by supporting regular bowel movements. 90003 90008 2. Body detoxification 90009 90002 Natural health advocates argue that hot water might help the body detoxify. When water is hot enough to raise a person’s body temperature, it can cause sweating. Sweating expels toxins and can help clean the pores. 90003 90008 3. Improved circulation 90009 90002 Hot water is a vasodilator, meaning it expands the blood vessels, improving circulation. This can help muscles relax and reduce pain.90003 90002 Although no studies have directly linked hot water to sustained improvements in circulation, even brief improvements in circulation can support better blood flow to muscles and organs. 90003 90008 4. Weight loss 90009 90002 Research has long supported the idea that drinking more water can help a person lose weight. This may partially be because drinking water increases feelings of fullness. Water also helps the body absorb nutrients, and it flushes out waste. 90003 90002 A study published in 2003 found that switching from drinking cold water to hot water could increase weight loss.Researchers found that drinking 500 ml of water before a meal increased metabolism by 30 percent. 90003 90002 Raising water temperature to 98.6 degrees accounted for 40 percent of the increase in metabolism. This metabolic step-up lasted for 30-40 minutes, following water consumption. 90003 90008 5. Reduced pain 90009 90002 Hot water improves circulation and may also improve blood flow, particularly to injured muscles. No research has directly linked hot water consumption to pain relief. 90003 90002 However, people routinely use heat packs and hot water bottles to reduce pain.Consuming hot water may offer some internal pain relief, but it is important to note that heat can also exacerbate swelling. 90003 90008 6. Fighting colds and improving sinus health 90009 90002 Heat applied to the sinuses can alleviate pressure caused by colds and nasal allergies. Steam also helps unclog the sinuses. 90003 90002 Drinking hot water may help mucous move more quickly. This means that drinking hot water may encourage coughing and nose-blowing to be more productive. 90003 90008 7.Encouraging consumption of coffee and tea 90009 Share on PinterestHot water mixed with tea or coffee may offer some additional health benefits. 90002 When mixed with coffee or tea, hot water may offer additional health benefits. Coffee and caffeinated teas can dehydrate the body, especially at high doses, but they also offer some health benefits in moderation. 90003 90002 Research published in 2017 linked coffee consumption to a longer life. Other research has found a link between moderate coffee consumption and a reduced risk of Parkinson’s disease, some cancers, type 2 diabetes, some liver disease, and heart health problems.90003 90002 Tea may reduce the risk of stroke, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and liver disease. Some studies have linked tea to a reduced risk of cancer, but the results vary. 90003 90008 8. Reduced stress 90009 90002 A soothing cup of hot water may help people manage stress and anxiety.
