Introduction
T his book has been writen with the aim of bringing awareness among the average reader about the relevance of normal bowel function, towards the prevention of disease, prolongation of life and promotion of health and eficiency. To understand the significance of functioning of the bowel we must first understand the basic defnition of health.
What is Health
The World Health Organisation (WHO) has defned health as a state of complete physical, mental and social well being and not merely an absence of disease or infrmity. In good physical health the individual has a clean and clear complexion, bright eyes, lustrous hair, good appetite, sound sleep, regular activity in the bowel and bladder and co-ordinated movements of the body. The concept of social health connotes abilities such as making satisfying and lasting friendship, assuming responsibilities in accordence with one’s capacities, showing socially considerate behaviour and living comfortably with others.
Factors affecting the health of an individual
The factors which influence the health of an individual lie within the individual as well as within the society and the environment in which he lives. These factors interact with each other and the interaction may either promote his health or have an adverse effect on him. The factors are as follows:
1. Hereditary or genetic factors
Certain characteristic features have been passed on to us from our parents and grandparents before birth. The state of health, therefore, partly depends upon our genetic constitution.
2. Environmental factors
Environmental factors may be classified as internal and external factors. The internal environment refers to each and every tissue, organ and organ system and their harmonious functioning within the body. The external environment refers to the housing water supply, psycho social stress and family structure.
3. Lifestyle
Lifestyle is said to be the socio-cultural behavioural paterns inculcated by an individual through the process of socialisation with other members of society. Because of taxing schedules of modern life, it dificult to follow a regular lifestyle.
4. Socio-economic factors
The socio-economic factors which afect health are: family income, standard of living, quality of life, family size, illiteracy unemployment, lack of sanitation and healthcare and malnutrition.
Functions of the body and health
The basic unit of our body is cell. A large number of cells form a tissue and a group of tissue constitute an organ like heart, liver, kidney, etc. Different organs join together to form a particular system, e.g. the circulatory system, digestive system, reproductive system, etc. These system, work together to maintain an equilibrium in the body function to keep us healthy and prevent us from disease. The digestive system helps in the digestion and absorption of food; the respiratory system is concerned with the intake of oxygen and elimination of carbon dioxide. The urinary system is associated with the removel of toxic substances; the circulatory system distributes oxygen and products of metabolism to different parts of the body. The reproductive system is concerned with the perpetuation of the species and the nervous system with the co-ordination and integration of the functions of other systems.
Role of bowel in the body
The toxic product of our body are excreted through the following organs–the bowel, kidneys, skin, lungs, liver and the lymphatic system. The bowel is the most important of all the excretory organs of our body. The word bowel or gut or intestine refers to that part of the alimentry canal (digestive system) which extends from the lower part of the stomach (duodenum) to the anus. It is divided into two main parts, i.e. the small intestine and the large intestine. Most of the process of digestion and absorption of food takes place in the small intestine. The large intestine is mainly concerned with the absorption of water and minerals from the digested material passed down from the small intestine. The contents of the intestine are propelled forward by means of rhythmic muscular contractions called peristalsis. The resulant product is the feces or stool which is passed out into the exterior through the anus.
Ayurvedic concepts of bowel care
According to ayurveda, stool, urine and sweat are the three major waste products of our body. The proper elimination of these products is essential for maintenance of the health of an individual. Stool is not only the waste product of the food taken by the individual but it also contains toxic substances (metabolic waste product from the blood) which are eliminated by different cells of the body. Hence proper evacuation of the stool helps to maintain the normal integrity and functioning of different cells and tissue of the body. In certain diseases like arthritis, sciatica, paralysis, migrain, asthma and bronchitis, improper evacuation of the bowel may aggravate the problem. Improper or incomplete evacuation of the bowel helps in the growth of different kinds of harmful (disease-causing) becteria in the intestines.
Bowel habits of indians
Bowel habits depend on the nature of the diet weing taken. In india many people are in the habit of
