The intestines are an important organ that plays a role in digestion and affects overall health. Here are 5 ways to cleanse the intestines during Tet.

Add warm water with lemon in the morning

A glass of warm water with lemon in the morning is a simple way to help cleanse the intestines.

According to research from the US Center for Nutrition and Health, lemon juice helps stimulate liver and kidney function, while also supporting the elimination of toxins accumulated in the digestive system.

Citric acid in lemons also stimulates gastric secretion, helping digestion more effectively.

Increase fiber from green vegetables and fruits

Green vegetables and fruits are sources of soluble and insoluble fiber that help clean the intestines naturally.

According to the American Dietetic Association (ADA), fiber promotes the growth of beneficial bacteria, aids in bowel movements and eliminates waste.

Vegetables like spinach, broccoli, and fruits like apples and pears are ideal choices to reduce constipation and bloating after meals high in protein and fat.

Use probiotics or fermented foods

Probiotics help balance gut microbiota, improve digestion and reduce inflammation.

Research from Johns Hopkins University shows that adding probiotic foods like unsweetened yogurt, kimchi, sauerkraut, or kombucha to your diet can help boost good bacteria and reduce symptoms of indigestion and bloating.

Limit foods high in fat and sugar

Foods high in fat and sugar not only put pressure on the intestines but also unbalance the gut microbiota, according to a report by the World Health Organization (WHO).

During Tet, you should limit fried foods, sweets, and instead choose steamed, boiled, or lightly spiced dishes to reduce the load on the digestive system.

Drink herbal tea to aid digestion

Herbal teas made from ginger, mint or fennel are ideal for soothing the gut. Ginger has anti-inflammatory properties, aids digestion and reduces bloating, while mint helps relax the smooth muscles in the intestines.

According to the British Herbal Medicine Association, drinking warm herbal tea after meals can improve digestion and reduce stomach discomfort.
