Sitting for a long time and lack of exercise will lead to constipation! Nutritionist Wu Yingrong: High-fiber coral grass is a master at removing constipation

Stool retention is a common problem faced by modern people, especially with changes in work and lifestyle. When people sit for long periods of time, lack exercise, or eat a diet lacking in dietary fiber, intestinal motility becomes slower and slower, which in turn affects the original digestion and absorption function of the stomach and intestines, causing problems with intestinal function and symptoms such as constipation. If not improved, once the intestinal environment deteriorates, the bad bacteria and harmful substances in the intestines will increase. When the digestive system cannot function normally for a long time, it is easy to produce stool retention.

Nutritionist Wu Yingrong said that if you want to improve the problem of constipation, it is recommended to eat moderate amounts of foods rich in dietary fiber and gelatin, such as coral grass, which is known as the "bird's nest in the sea", to help relieve and improve the problem of constipation.

Coral grass is rich in nutrition, high in fiber, and rich in gelatin, which helps with bowel movements.

What should I do if I want to improve the problem of stool retention? CEO Wu Yingrong pointed out that in order to successfully solve the above problems, one must start by fundamentally regulating the intestinal condition, maintaining good living and eating habits, exercising more, and drinking plenty of water to accelerate the elimination of old waste materials in the intestines, keep the intestines clean and unobstructed, which will naturally make the digestive system smoother.

In addition to the above methods, moderate consumption of coral grass, which contains a large amount of polysaccharides and rich in colloid, is also a good choice. Known as the "bird's nest in the sea", it is named after its appearance which resembles coral. "Coral grass", also known as Qilin grass, has been used as food by humans as early as 600 BC. During the Zhou Dynasty, it was a noble food presented as tribute to the emperor.

Coral grass not only helps to enhance immune function, but the colloid components it contains also contain a large amount of water-soluble fiber, which can stimulate intestinal peristalsis, soften stool, and promote defecation. It is the "food" of good bacteria in the intestines, helps promote the growth of good bacteria in the intestines, keeps the intestinal environment in the best condition, and improves uncomfortable symptoms such as indigestion, constipation, and stool retention.

Nutritionist Wu Yingrong and handsome chef Li Jianxuan jointly designed a dish of cold coral grass salad. The dish uses coral grass as a dish, and is paired with carrots, squid, and cucumber to add texture, and white sesame seeds to enhance the aroma. It is not only beautiful and delicious, but also can supplement dietary fiber and gelatin, and is good for intestinal health. Here is a dish for your reference:
