Signs of a person with a healthy digestive system

Having the ability to eat well, have normal bowel function, the body absorbs nutrients well, and rarely suffer from symptoms of digestive disorders such as constipation, diarrhea, bloating, and flatulence are the symptoms. Shows that a person has a healthy digestive system.

A sound digestive system plays a core role in overall health. Not only is the body's main organ for receiving and absorbing nutrients, but digestive health can affect the immune system, endocrine system, skin condition, mental health, and other health conditions. Cancer... Therefore, a malfunction in one part of the digestive system will adversely affect other parts of the digestive tract and the whole body.

A healthy digestive system is when food is digested well, helping the body absorb nutrients, have normal bowel function, and rarely suffer from symptoms of digestive disorders such as constipation, diarrhea, bloating, flatulence, etc.

However, work pressure and an irregular diet and lifestyle are causes that seriously affect the health of the digestive system. Medical experts believe that the modern lifestyle is becoming one of the factors that make many people easily suffer from gastrointestinal diseases. Digestive problems not only seriously affect health but also reduce the quality of work and daily life and make the body's general health vulnerable to severe effects.

Bad habits need to be eliminated immediately

Bad habits in daily activities increase the burden on digestive system health. Not going to the bathroom, eating too late, eating an unhealthy diet, etc., are mistakes that negatively affect the digestive system that many people often make.

Don't "ignore" when your body signals you need to "release waste" - it's easy to become constipated because, after this point, it will be tough to have a bowel movement. And the digestive system needs "some space" to digest and absorb new nutrients.

Eating late at night also affects the body's digestive system. Because after eating, the body needs time to digest food. Eating late at night causes the circadian rhythm of functional organs to be disturbed, reducing the ability to break down food structure and making it difficult for food to be fully digested.

Pay attention to a balanced, healthy diet of nutrients. You should divide your meals into smaller portions because eating or drinking too much at one meal leads to bloating, gas, gastric reflux, etc.

Please do not drink too much liquid during meals, especially dinner, as it dilutes gastric juice and hinders digestion. At the same time, reduce the amount of carbonated drinks, such as soda, limit chewing gum, and consume alcoholic beverages in moderation.

Eliminating habits that negatively impact the digestive system is not enough, but it is necessary to take maximum care and support for the digestive system. Building good living habits, exercising regularly, eating healthy, and choosing foods that are good for your digestive system, etc., are ways to help your digestive system function properly.
