The digestive tract is a very important group of organs in the human body, responsible for digesting food and absorbing nutrients. As we age, the risk of diseases increases with the accumulation of diet and lifestyle, diseases and medications over the years, in addition to the common constipation, diarrhea, indigestion, gastroesophageal reflux, and even the risk of colorectal cancer. According to the theory of Chinese medicine, the digestive system belongs to the middle jiao, which also affects the respiratory system in the upper jiao, as well as the kidney and urinary bladder system in the lower jiao. The father of liver pills, Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee, who is 82 years old, is still strong and healthy, and has his own way of maintaining health, so let’s see how he takes care of the digestive tract!
Food enters through the mouth and then passes through the esophagus to the stomach, small intestine, large intestine and anus, where even the liver and pancreas are involved in the digestive system. As people age, many problems may occur in the digestive system. Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee, a Chinese medicine doctor, pointed out that aging is related to the slowing down of digestion. Although people can eat and will not be bloated, they will eat less and less, and they will begin to dislike eating; in addition, even after eating, they do not have a bowel movement on the same day or the next day. This is because the intestines do not move well and have not finished digesting, which means the digestive enzymes have declined.
Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee further pointed out that the decline of digestive enzymes in the body will make eating less delicious, so many enzyme products are launched on the market in an attempt to improve digestion, but there are enzymes in the human body that can break down food and allow the body’s cells to absorb it for nutrients. Enzymes have been present in the body since birth. After 60 years of use, digestive enzymes begin to decline and decrease, making the digestive system slower and weaker, and the digestive function begins to decline.
The decline of digestive enzymes will result in “deficiency constipation” phenomenon, Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee emphasized that the ancient so-called deficiency constipation does not refer to constipation caused by high fire, but slow digestion, gastrointestinal motility and weakness resulting in constipation of persistent stool. The fermentation in the intestine will trigger resonance, that is, when the intestine fermentation generated ” Qi ” will push the intestinal mucosa, from the stomach, duodenum to the small intestine, while fermenting and pushing, but when the speed of fermentation becomes slower, intestinal peristalsis also becomes slower, resulting in the food in the stomach and intestines, may not be digested for two days, resulting in a reduction in the frequency of defecation, from one day to two or more days. If you do not have a bowel movement for many days, it will also compress the digestive space in the intestine and make digestion incomplete, resulting in difficulty in defecation, and the stool will become hard after a long time in the intestine, and once you can defecate one day, it will scrape the rectum or anus.
In addition to the elderly, the digestion of children is also related to growth. Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee suggested that instead of taking enzyme products, you can use Chinese medicine to help develop and strengthen the stomach and intestines, which can also improve the digestive system of deficiency and constipation, which can make the bowel movement better, achieve laxative effect, and feel energetic. Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee, who has tried this herbal medicine himself, said, “I went skiing this year and I had enough foot strength, and I skied for more than seven hours a day when I was young, but this year I skied for four hours a day.”
Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee analysis, if there is indigestion, gastroesophageal reflux, gastric ulcer, duodenal ulcer and constipation and other digestive problems, you can take Chinese medicine to make the gastrointestinal Qi smooth; if the age of 60, 70 digestion becomes slower and constipation, loss of appetite, people are losing energy and strength, it is recommended not to rely on long-term improvement of constipation drugs, can take to promote the development of children and gastrointestinal drugs, digestion, appetite becomes better, constipation also improved, good appetite and good physical strength, naturally will also feel young, help development equivalent to anti-aging atrophy
Can digestion also affect the incidence of cancer? Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee believes that modern people are afraid of cancer, but do not know how to prevent it, in fact, to prevent cancer to protect the chemical reactions in the liver, do not eat indiscriminately. In particular, all chemical reactions have to go through the test of heat, and nutrients in food are decomposed by heat, for example, stir-fry vegetables require fire; therefore, the most nutritious chemistry is to take good care of the liver, and it is most important to be able to decompose and absorb the nutrients in the three meals, and it is best to choose liver-nourishing Chinese medicine that can detoxify food, in order to avoid chronic poisoning in the body without being aware of it.
