Healthy diet and bowels

A healthy diet containing plenty of different fibre rich foods, lots of fluids as well as exercise is recommended to keep our bowels healthy and regular.

Fibre can help protect against diverticular disease, haemorrhoids, constipation and chronic diseases such as heart disease and type 2 diabetes, and can also help with controlling your weight.

健康饮食与肠道

要保持我们的肠道健康以及大便有规律,我们建议健康饮食,这包括摄取充足的各种高纤维食物、充足的液体还有进行体育锻炼。

纤维能帮助预防结肠憩室病、痔疮、便秘以及慢性疾病,比如心脏病和2 型糖尿病,还能帮助控制您的体重。


What is fibre?

Fibre is found only in foods that come from plants. This includes vegetables, fruits, beans (legumes), nuts, seeds and cereals (breakfast cereals, bread, pasta and rice).

纤维是什么?

纤维只存在于以植物为原料的食物。这包括蔬菜、水果、豆子(豆荚 类)、坚果、种子和麦片(早餐谷类食物、面包、意大利面和米饭)。

Specialised dietary advice may be required from a Dietitian for conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease, faecal incontinence, gluten intolerance, and food sensitivities.

对于有些疾病比如肠易激综合征、肠炎、大便失禁、麦麸不耐症和食物过敏等,营养师可能会给出特殊的饮食建议。

What about fluids?  
那么水分呢?

Fibre and water work together to keep us regular. Without enough fluid, increasing fibre may result in constipation, so always have enough to drink each day.

纤维和水一起作用能让我们规律排便。没有足够的水分,增加纤维可能会导致便秘,所以每天要喝充足的水

What drinks should I choose?

Water is preferred over drinks with added sugar (such as soft drinks, cordials, sports and energy drinks) and fruit juice, as water has no calories and will not result in weight gain. Water is also preferred over diet soft drinks and fruit juice as the acidity of these drinks can break down the hard covering on our teeth called enamel.

我应该选择什么样的饮料?

比起加糖的饮料(比如汽水、浓缩果汁、运动和能量饮料)和果汁,白水更加理想,因为水没有热量,而且不会导致体重增加。水也要比低糖汽水和果汁更好,因为这些饮料中的酸会破坏我们牙齿上叫做牙釉质的保 护层。

How much?

As a general rule aim for 1.5–2 litres of fluid per day (6–8 glasses) unless advised otherwise by your doctor. More fluid may be required in hot weather and when exercising.

要喝多少?

正常要求每天摄入1.5–2升液体(6–8杯),除非您的医生有做其他要求。在炎热的天气和运动时,可能需要摄入更多的液体。

What about tea and coffee?

  • Tea and coffee can count as part of your fluid intake
  • Tea and coffee (or caffeine drinks) may need to be reduced if you have urinary incontinence. Discuss this with a continence health professional if you have any concerns

那么茶和咖啡呢?

  • 可以将茶和咖啡计入您的液体摄入量
  • 如果您有小便失禁,那么茶和咖啡(或咖啡因饮品)可能需要减量。如果您有任何问题,请与排便节制的专业健康人员交流

Boosting your fibre: slowly does it  
增加你的纤维: 慢慢进行

  • Increase your fibre slowly. Try making one change per week to avoid gas, bloating, cramps and diarrhoea from building up fibre intake too quickly.
  • Plenty of fluids help the fibre work better, so drink more as you increase your fibre
  • 慢慢增加您的纤维摄入。尝试每周做出一个改变,从而避免因过快累积纤维而导致的胀气、胀满、绞痛和腹泻。
  • 充足的液体能帮助纤维作用发挥得更好,所以在增加纤维摄入的同时要多喝水。

Fibre supplements

Try to avoid making up for a low fibre eating plan by relying mainly on fibre supplements or foods with concentrated sources of fibre such as bran or psyllium husk. These may give you enough fibre but you will miss out on the mixture of fibre which is needed to protect the gut. If you feel you need a fibre supplement and would like more information, talk to a continence health professional or Dietitian.

纤维补充剂

尝试避免因主要依赖于纤维补充剂或含有浓缩纤维的食物(比如麸皮或车前子壳)而做的低纤维饮食计划。这样做可能会给您充足的纤维,但您会失去保护肠道的纤维混合物。如果您觉得您需要纤维补充剂以及想了解更多信息,请与排便节制的专业健康人员或饮食学家交流。
