Is it true that there are 6 kilograms of feces in the human body?

"There are 6 kilograms of feces in the body, not to excrete, of course, the body is uncomfortable."

In the beauty salon, 2 beautiful young beauticians are recommending to Ms. Li the "intestinal hydrotherapy" project.

Ms. Li has been suffering from constipation for many years, daily bowel movements, and "torture" in general, after listening to the sales pitch of the beautician is very tempted, but still a little hesitant.

After that, the beautician told her that constipation is a health killer, and long-term retention in the body will cause body poisoning, and even induce cancer to occur. Hearing this, Ms. Li finally made up her mind to do the spa.

What she didn't expect was that after doing it twice, she had persistent abdominal pain, which could not be relieved after a few days, and even launched a high fever.

After going to the hospital, she was diagnosed with rectal perforation with peritonitis, which can easily induce infectious shock if not treated with timely intervention.

The good thing is that Ms. Li was not too late to seek medical attention and after treatment was quickly discharged from the hospital.

The company's main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to its customers. The actual "hangover" is a problem.

The actual "hangover" is what it is, does it exist?

The term "hangover" I believe we have all heard of it, many people are very obsessed with clearing hangover, and will take various means to clean up, but does the word "hangover" really exists in medical terms?

There is no medical concept related to the concept of "hangover" hangover refers to the accumulation of feces in the body that has not been expelled, some people with constipation always feel that there is a lot of hangover in their bodies.

To understand the existence of feces, we need to know what process is required to form feces, after the food is chewed in the mouth, it will enter the stomach, and then enter the intestines and be excreted. This process takes about 1 to 3 days, and there is no scientific basis for the rumor that stools that remain in the intestines for more than 1 day without being excreted are considered hangovers.

From a medical point of view, the fecal matter may stay in the colon for 1 to 7 days, as long as the bowel movement remains regular enough, it will not affect health, no need to worry.

Second, there are 6 kilograms of "hangover" in the human body, is it possible to have so much "hangover"?

The most frightening statement about the hangover is that some people with abdominal obesity may have more than 6kg of a hangover in their bodies, is this statement true?

Once there are so many foreign bodies in the intestine, the pressure receptors on the intestinal wall will report to the brain in time for the brain to send a defecation signal, which is generally unbearable at this time.

Plus, the human body's daily intake of food generally does not reach as much as 6kg, and food in the digestion and absorption of the volume will become much smaller, simply can not reach this amount, this statement is also a business to sell goods and fabricated the statement.

Third, the hangover is a health killer, often wash your bowels healthier.

Rumor has it that a long stay in the body will release a large number of toxins, which will lead to small intestinal villi vitality and elasticity is oppressed, or fecal fermentation and flatulence will lead to acidosis, and even more so, there are people who say that a long stay in the body will lead to abdominal, spinal shape is oppressed, so that the human figure deformation, is a veritable "health killer ".

These claims have no scientific basis at all. Food in the colon before entering the water is absorbed in a porridge-like state, and will not compress the small intestine villi. The intestinal fluid in the small intestine is alkaline, even if the food fermentation acid production, will be quickly neutralized by the intestinal fluid, it is impossible to cause poisoning. Poo is also a collection of soft food residues and does not cause deformation in the body.

But in life, many people listen to these rumors and are particularly keen to cleanse their intestines.

Wang Yuanzhao, director of the Department of Anorectal Medicine at Nanjing Hospital of Integrative Medicine, said that long-term cleaning of the intestines will lead to frequent stimulation of the rectum, which in the long run will lead to the body's inability to send out normal signals for defecation, and normal defecation will therefore become difficult. And many people do not cleanse the intestines completely sterile, the operation can easily lead to intestinal breakage, easy to cause infection.

In addition to cleaning the intestines, some people are particularly keen to eat laxatives to discharge the stool, long-term eating of laxatives will lead to intestinal function affected, and in serious cases, even cause patients with hydroelectric acid-base disorders, coma, and even death.

Fourth, how can I expel those "lingering" poo?

The correct medical term for clearing the stool should be called how to prevent constipation. Constipation refers to the reduction in the number of bowel movements, dry and hard stools, and difficulty defecating, long-term constipation may lead to rough skin, and dullness, and will let the body's metabolism affected, so people have an increased chance of obesity.

So, how do we go to prevent constipation?

1. Pay attention to hydration

2. Eat more vegetables and grains

Vegetables, grains, and other foods rich in dietary fiber, these substances are difficult to be absorbed by the body, after entering the intestinal tract can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, and can increase the volume of feces, can prevent constipation.

3. often do soothing exercise

Daily exercise, such as running, yoga, tai chi, etc. are good choices, exercise can make the gastrointestinal tract peristalsis speed up. For people with constipation, adhering to the movement can be good to relieve the symptoms.
