[Information on boosting immunity] Why is intestinal irritation caused?⑤

[Immune power up information]
Recently, the new coronavirus has taken the world by storm.
In this corner, you can find information on how to build a body that can withstand corona,
We will introduce excerpts from past musubi magazines and books published by Seishoku Publishing.
The XNUMXth article is "Why is intestinal irritation caused? (by Kenji Okabe)" from the serialization from "Musubi Magazine March XNUMX" to "Musubi Magazine August XNUMX" (XNUMX times in total) ).

Healthy with XNUMX% good bacteria, XNUMX% bad bacteria, and XNUMX% opportunistic bacteria
　One of the causes of bad intestinal environment is the increase of bad bacteria.
　It is said that a healthy intestine contains XNUMX% good bacteria, XNUMX% bad bacteria, and XNUMX% opportunistic bacteria.
However, if the number of bad bacteria exceeds that of good bacteria, opportunistic bacteria will take sides with the bad bacteria that have become dominant in the intestines, worsening the intestinal environment.
　Bad bacteria have a favorite food, which is fat and protein.
These macromolecular components cannot be easily decomposed by good bacteria, so it is necessary to borrow the power of bad bacteria to metabolize them. , ammonia and amines are produced.
　The identity of these components is PM2.5and photochemical smog, acid rain, and toxic nitrogen oxides and sulfur oxides contained in car exhaust fumes.

Various unpleasant symptoms caused by putrefactive toxins
　Indole and skatole, which are putrefactive toxins, cause malignant lymphoma and leukemia, and amines, when combined with nitric acid in the stomach, change into nitrosamines, which are powerful carcinogens (gastric and colon cancer-causing substances).
　Among them, hydrogen sulfide and ammonia are particularly harmful, and if left untreated, the intestinal wall becomes sore, so the liver converts them to uric acid and the kidneys excrete them from the body as urea.
　As long as the liver and kidneys are functioning well, they are fine, but as they age, their function weakens and their ability to excrete becomes weaker, causing uric acid to flow back into the blood, causing unpleasant symptoms such as gout and muscle pain. appears.
　And as the blood becomes dirty, you may feel tired, tired, or easily tired, and the accumulation of dirt in your joints may cause pain and inflammation, which may cause symptoms such as neuralgia, arthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis.

Bad bacteria spread from the intestinal wall to the whole body, causing inflammation and infections
　However, bad bacteria also play an important role, and it would be absurd to attack or eliminate them.
　In the first place, the cause of the increase in bad bacteria is the excessive intake of Western foods such as high-fat, high-protein meat, eggs, dairy products, and bread.
　The intestinal environment of Japanese people, which had been healthy before the war, began to deteriorate after the war when bread and milk were introduced into school lunches.
　Also, bad bacteria have properties similar to those of carnivorous animals, and are said to eat away at our intestinal walls.As a result, when a minute hole opens in the intestine, bad bacteria invade the body from there.
　If bad bacteria that have invaded the body are found by the white blood cells patrolling the blood, they are usually disposed of immediately, but it rarely sneaks into the white blood cells that exist in large numbers on the intestinal wall ( rare), which is troublesome as it allows the whole body to move freely.
Eventually, it causes inflammation and infection in the organs of the whole body, including the brain, and gradually undermines the body.Food selection is therefore very important.

Judgment of intestinal environment by stool
　The favored food of good bacteria is low-molecular-weight starch (carbohydrate).Although starch is not a simple sugar like white sugar, it is a polysaccharide (complex carbohydrate) that is slowly absorbed over time.
　As a result of surveying the diets of longevity countries and villages around the world, the ratio of intake of complex carbohydrates such as vegetables, grains, fruits, seaweed, and mushrooms is80reported to account for more than XNUMX%.
　This means that in order to improve the intestinal environment, we should reduce the intake of fat and protein and increase the proportion of complex carbohydrates.In that respect, traditional Japanese food can be said to be the ideal food for improving the intestinal tract.
　The quality of the intestinal environment can be determined by the smell of feces, farts, urine, and sweat.Be careful if your excrement smells bad.If the stool is black and crumbly, it has a lot of bad bacteria.


Regularly skipping dinner is also effective
　Among complex carbohydrates, the insoluble dietary fiber (cellulose) contained in grains and vegetables with the skin on, and the soluble dietary fiber contained in slimy foods such as taro, lotus root, seaweed, and mushrooms are food that good bacteria enjoy.
　Fermented products such as vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and oligosaccharides contained in fermented foods also improve the intestinal environment.
　Furthermore, occasional petit fasting is a means to dramatically improve the intestinal environment.If you do a short fast using brown rice amazake, kudzu paste, or an enzyme drink, you can balance the intestinal bacteria in a short period of time.
　According to research by Dr. Kikuo Chishima, who advocated the theory of intestinal hematopoiesis, as a result of fasting chickens for three days, bad bacteria almost disappeared and good bacteria became dominant.
　You can expect to improve the intestinal environment by regularly skipping dinner during the new moon and full moon cycles.

Kenji Okabe
When he was in college, he went to the United States and was surprised by the prevalence of obesity, and conducted research on the theme of "American society and diet foods."After he realized that traditional Japanese food was the best diet food, he discovered Seishoku.After working as a lecturer at the Japan Macrobiotic Association, in XNUMX, he moved to the countryside of Fukuoka Prefecture and established the Japan Brown Rice Seishoku Research Institute. In XNUMX, he launched the Musubi Association, and has been holding lectures, health guidance, mini-fasting seminars, and macrobiotic seminars throughout Kyushu.He is a director of Japan Macrobiotic Association.His publications include “Microcosm of Mawari Temekuru – Yin and Yang Five Elements for Life” (Musubi no Kai), “Diet with the Rhythm of the Moon” (Sunmark Publishing), “Macrobiotics for Cleansing the Mind and Body” (PHP Research Institute), “Households”. Dietary methods to protect against internal radiation exposure” (Kosaido Publishing), “Eliminate body odors with meals” (Kawade Shobo), “Guzuruko and Sawaguko change with meals!” (Kosaido Publishing)
