대장, or "daejang," is a Korean term that translates to "colon" in English. It refers to a part of the digestive system that plays a crucial role in processing waste. The 대장 absorbs water and nutrients from food, helping to form solid waste for elimination from the body. In traditional Korean medicine, the 대장 is considered important for overall health. It is believed that a well-functioning 대장 can influence energy levels and immunity. Maintaining a balanced diet rich in fiber can support the health of the 대장 and promote proper digestion.
