“I can’t improve my energy.”
“Do you see your mental health there?”
At our hospital, many people with mental illnesses such as depression, anxiety, and panic disorder are improving.
“With manipulative treatment? Why?”
“Mental illness is a psychosomatic medicine, right?”
The person who came to the hospital today also had a strange look.
“Are you counseling?”
I am often asked, but I do not provide counseling.
So how do you improve your mental illness?

Intestinal improvement
Many people with depression, panic disorder, and anxiety are hungry.

“What is the relationship between mental health and stomach?”
You may be wondering.

“The intestine is the second brain”
Have you ever heard the word?
It is said that there are 100 million nerve cells in the intestine next to the brain, and it is said to be the second brain because it can perform peristaltic movements at its own discretion without commands from the brain or spinal cord.
However, since protozoa such as amoeba do not have a brain and act on the judgment of the intestine, some people think that the intestine is the first brain even in humans.
from long ago
Get angry
The bugs in my stomach do not subside
I’m hungry
Belly sitting
Speak with a belly
Get hungry
Fall in love
I was connecting my emotions with my stomach.
Perhaps the old people felt that their stomach = emotions.
It means that improving the intestines leads to mental improvement.
So how does the intestine improve?
How to improve the intestines
People say that you should take yogurt, dietary fiber, etc., but this is a method for the large intestine.
The intestine I am talking about here is the “small intestine”.
The main role of the small intestine is digestion and absorption.
In particular, 80% of absorption is done in this small intestine.
This means that if you eat a lot of foods that are difficult to absorb, this small intestine will get tired.
So what is the burden on the small intestine?
Food that burdens the small intestine
Worst 1 convenience store lunch
It is a habit to eat “daily convenience store lunch”, which is often seen in young men who are not particularly interested in food.
Many food additives are used in convenience store lunch boxes.
It may be good once in a while, but if you do “every day”, “always at noon”, and “convenience rice balls every morning”, your small intestine will get tired endlessly.
The reason for eating a convenience store lunch
Easy
no time
Near
However, I think there are supermarkets in similar locations.
Even if you don’t cook your own meals, white rice and natto are much better than convenience box lunches.
Food that burdens the small intestine
Worst 2 wheat
This is especially common in women.
“Bread every morning”
“I love pasta”
“If you don’t have time, you can use pasta.”
Surprisingly, people who eat a lot of wheat are hungry.
Wheat has a short history for us Japanese, and it is very burdensome to digest and absorb.
And especially pasta does not lose its prototype no matter how many times you chew it.
That’s the burden of digestion.
Stop bread every morning and leave it every other day.
If you don’t have time, use soba instead of pasta.
It will be just as short.
Food that burdens the small intestine
Worst 3 cold things
Especially cold drinks.
Cold in the small intestine is a great enemy.
“But it’s hot”
Most of the people who say this are spending time in an air-conditioned room at work or at home.
The only people I think it’s okay to drink cold food are “people who work at construction sites” and “people who work at glass workshops”.
These people need to “cool”, but not in an air-conditioned room.
We recommend plain hot water.
Drink at least at room temperature.
Let’s practice the above to improve the intestines and become a “sit-bellied person”.
