10 tips to regulate your internal organs and become a beauty from the inside out

Only when your internal organs are strong can you be beautiful! External skin care products and medical treatments are only temporary solutions and not a cure for the disease. Not only can they not bring about natural and healthy beauty, they may also have a counterproductive effect. Only by taking care of the five internal organs from the inside can you change your physique and make you beautiful from the root!

1. Eat until you are 70% full and avoid spicy food

Eating at irregular times and in irregular amounts is the cruelest thing to the stomach - sometimes you are so hungry that you feel stomach acid, and sometimes you eat until your stomach is about to burst. Improper eating habits will quickly make the stomach sick. The stomach prefers light, neutral food. Food that is too oily, too cold, too salty or too spicy will make it uncomfortable. People with excessive stomach acid should reduce high-salt and caffeinated foods.

Traditional Chinese medicine also believes that it is best to use neutral and mild foods to regulate the spleen and stomach. You should drink warm boiled water and eat vegetables and fruits that are considered neutral by traditional Chinese medicine, such as cabbage, beans, apples, etc. Do not eat cold drinks, chili peppers and other irritating foods.

2. Use fiber to protect the intestines

To keep your intestines smooth, you absolutely need to take in enough fiber. However, dietary fiber is divided into two types: water-soluble and water-insoluble, and each has different functions:

After dissolving in the intestines, "water-soluble fiber" can grab food residues and clean the intestines, and become the raw material for good bacteria in the intestines, adjust the intestinal environment, and excrete old waste materials, cholesterol, toxins, etc. It also has the effect of preventing obesity and diabetes. It is found in large quantities in vegetables, fruits and seaweed.

"Insoluble fiber" is found in foods that taste rough, such as whole grains and beans. This fiber will swell after absorbing water in the intestines, stimulating the intestinal wall to promote peristalsis, shortening the time that food stays in the large intestine, and reducing the absorption of harmful substances.

3. Take lactic acid bacteria to refuel the intestines

Taking lactic acid bacteria can improve the intestinal environment and enhance immunity. Experts recommend drinking yogurt regularly, and choose to drink it after meals and when stomach acid becomes weak to prevent the lactic acid bacteria from being killed by stomach acid.

4. Go to the toilet regularly in the morning

It is best to reserve some time in the morning to go to the toilet and clear your intestines. After drinking water and eating breakfast, the empty stomach and intestines that have been hungry all night will be stimulated and start to move, making it easier to go to the toilet.

When you feel the urge to defecate, do it as quickly as possible instead of holding it in. This will allow the feces to go back into the large intestine where it will absorb more water, becoming dry and hard, and difficult to pass. In the long run, this will cause constipation and be extremely painful.

5. Practice yoga to strengthen your stomach and intestines

Moderate exercise can keep the stomach and intestines functioning normally. For example, brisk walking can increase intestinal activity and prevent constipation. On the contrary, if you sit for a long time, the intestines will become lazy, affecting the digestion and absorption function. The following two yoga poses help relieve bloating and promote intestinal peristalsis:

1-1. Lie on your back, lift your knees to your chest and hold them, with your face close to your knees.

1-2. Maintain this position and breathe for 30 seconds. Be sure to keep your knees close to your chest to stimulate your intestines.

2-1. Lift your left foot, place your heel next to your bent right thigh, and hold your left foot with your right elbow. Place your left hand behind your waist and inhale.

2-2. While exhaling, twist your body and turn your shoulders to the left. Hold the twist and breathe for 30 seconds.

2-3. Slowly return to step 1, then switch legs and repeat.

6. Eat light food with less salt

Excessive salt intake will increase blood pressure and lead to kidney disease. Therefore, in addition to reducing the amount of salt in cooking, you must also be careful about the invisible salt hidden in processed foods such as biscuits, sauces, bread, sausages and hot dogs.

In addition, avoid eating too much protein such as eggs, meat, and soy products. Because the body produces nitrogen compounds in the process of digesting and breaking down protein, which need to be filtered and excreted by the kidneys, when excessive protein is consumed, the kidneys have to work hard. Especially when kidney function declines, waste may not be excreted smoothly, thus causing more serious kidney problems.

7. Drink enough water

Generally, a healthy person needs to drink about 2000cc of water more than 4 times a day. The kidneys rely on adequate water to remove waste, and drinking enough water and urinating smoothly can prevent urinary tract infections, which can lead to pyelonephritis.

You should drink water slowly, one sip at a time, so that the water can slowly enter the body and help the body's metabolism. If you drink all the water in one breath, it will shorten the time the water stays in the body.

8. Eat black foods

According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, the kidney governs the color "black", so generally speaking, black foods enter the kidneys, replenishing kidney essence, making people younger and more energetic, with an upright body and shiny black hair.

You may want to add black foods to your daily diet, such as black sesame, black fungus, black beans, mulberries, black glutinous rice, etc.

Black sesame, in particular, is a favorite health food for many Chinese medicine practitioners.

9. Keep private parts clean to avoid infection

The distance between a woman's urethra opening and the vagina and anus is short, so it is easy for bacteria near the vagina and anus to be brought to the urethra opening through sexual intercourse or improper cleaning, and then invade the bladder, causing urinary tract infection and even pyelonephritis.

Therefore, after using the toilet, wipe from front (vaginal opening) to back (anal opening), and pay attention to the cleanliness of the perineum, and keep it dry and ventilated. Wear breathable underwear to avoid sweating and dampness, which can reduce the chance of bacterial breeding and infection.

10. Massage the kidney points

The kidney meridian starts from the soles of the feet. Massaging the feet, especially stimulating the Yongquan point on the soles of the feet, can help increase kidney qi.
