“Proteins, fats and carbohydrates are almost completely absorbed in the upper parts of the digestive system, and only fiber from plants remains in the intestine,” said Sergey Vyalov, Candidate of Medical Sciences, gastroenterologist, hepatologist, in his Telegram channel.
Therefore, for the normal functioning of the intestines, fiber is necessary, specifically that which we obtain from vegetables. It is especially dangerous (men are more at risk) when the diet is dominated by meat, including grilled meat, and at the same time there is little vegetation.
“Vegetables are an obligatory normal condition for the functioning of the intestines,” Sergey Vyalov emphasized, adding that their absence in the diet causes serious disorders in the functioning of the organ.
While the sufficient presence of vegetables in the menu reduces the risk of inflammation in the intestines.
“The habit of sitting a lot in one place also increases the risk of colon cancer,” said oncologist Ivan Karasev.
In addition, the constant accumulation of negative emotions and stress “feed” the disease, the doctor noted.
