Cada vez mais profissionais de saúde reconhecem a importância da saúde intestinal para o bem-estar geral. Alguns chegaram mesmo a sugerir que o intestino funciona como um "segundo cérebro" que comunica com o cérebro na cabeça e influencia tudo o que acontece no nosso organismo. Como pode garantir que o seu segundo cérebro se mantém saudável? Aqui ficam algumas dicas.

Coma Bem

Uma das chaves para manter um sistema gastrointestinal saudável é comer bem, o que significa escolher uma dieta rica em fibra. Consuma muitas frutas, legumes, leguminosas e cereais integrais. A fibra solúvell é o tipo que se dissolve em água, enquanto a fibra insolúvelll não. Ambas são fermentadas pelas bactérias do intestino. A fibra insolúvelll protege contra a obstipação, pois regula o trânsito intestinal e ajuda o trato gastrointestinal a manter um nível de pH saudável. A fibra solúvell reduz o colesterol mau e regula a glicose.

Outros alimentos que contribuem para um aparelho digestivo saudável incluem iogurte com probiticos. Estes são tipos benéficos de leveduras e bactérias. Os alimentos fermentados, como o kimchi ou o chucrute, também mantêm o intestino saudável.

Fale com o Seu Médico sobre Problemas Estomacais

Se sentir dores abdominais persistentes independentemente do que faça, ou se sofrer de obstipação, diarreia ou ambas, não hesite em consultar o seu médico para perceber o que se passa. No que diz respeito ao intestino, problemas graves e pequenos incómodos partilham muitas vezes os mesmos sinais e sintomas. Tenha também em conta que a ansiedade não tratada pode causar perturbações gastrointestinais.

Exercício Físico

Entre os muitos benefícios do exercício físico está um sistema gastrointestinal mais saudável. A falta de exercício leva ao aumento de peso, e ter excesso de peso ou obesidade pode interferir, por vezes de formas surpreendentes, com a saúde do intestino. O excesso de peso pode predispô-lo para a esteatose hepática não alcoólica, o que afetará a forma como o seu organismo digere os alimentos. A obesidade também pode predisponê-lo a condições dolorosas, como cálculos biliares e doença de refluxo gastroesofágico (DRGE). Outros problemas associados à obesidade incluem diarreia, pólipos do cólon, diverticulose e pancreatite.

As medidas que pode tomar para apoiar a saúde do seu intestino — como comer bem, consultar o médico quando algo parece errado e fazer exercício físico — são simples, ainda que possam não ser fáceis no início. Tomá-las como hábito contribuirá muito para garantir que o seu intestino e o resto do seu organismo estejam em ótima forma.
