It is often heard that some people have chronic gastritis, and it is difficult to sleep and eat, and some people have too much stomach acid and are in pain. As the saying goes, "disease comes from the mouth", many diseases are related to daily diet, and gastrointestinal diseases are particularly closely related to diet. The occurrence of spleen and stomach disease is mainly due to irregular diet, excessive food and cold, cold accumulation in the middle, so that the spleen and stomach of the yang is not vibrant; followed by depression and anxiety, liver qi disorders, transverse guilt to the stomach and spleen. To prevent spleen and stomach diseases, the key is to protect the normal functioning of the spleen and stomach. Therefore, attention should be paid to the maintenance of the spleen and stomach.
What factors affect the stomach and intestines?
First of all, emotional factors have a great influence on appetite, digestion, and absorption. Therefore, to maintain the spleen and stomach, we must first maintain a good mood. According to studies, bad mood can lead to decreased appetite, abdominal distention, belching, indigestion, etc., while good mood is beneficial to the normal activity of the gastrointestinal system.
Secondly, diet adjustment is the key to maintaining the spleen and stomach. Starting from the daily routine, at least three meals a day should be regularly quantified, it is best to set a schedule for yourself, and then strictly abide by it. This will also have an impact on sleep time, because some people who sleep late and get up late are eating early and Chinese food, this habit must be changed, not that eating supper at night can make up for it, because although people's biological clocks can move back and forth, they are always within a certain range, and it is impossible to make much difference.
The diet is mainly vegetarian, with meat and vegetarian combinations. Eat vegetables and fruits regularly to meet your body's needs and keep your stools flowing. Vegetables and peels have more fiber and can be eaten moderately, but not too much and are not easy to digest, so melons and fruits can be eaten relatively much. Papaya is suitable for the spleen of the stomach and can be used as a stomach food, but for people with more stomach acid, do not eat too much. Moreover, we must remember that the stomach likes to be cold and cold, ice things are eaten less, and other cold foods like mung bean paste should not be eaten more. Eat less irritating and indigestible foods, such as sour and spicy, fried, dry and sticky foods, raw and cold foods should also try to eat less.
How should people with damaged stomach and intestines be cared for?
So, how should people who have been plagued by gastrointestinal function be maintained?
In general, people with poor stomach and digestive function, the symptom is to eat a little will be full, eat a little more will be bloated, especially at night to eat more, but also because of stomach stagflation and affect sleep. Therefore, it is recommended to eat less and more meals, if it is not yet time for dinner, you can supplement some food, but it should not be too much, you must remember that this is not a meal, and the meal should still be eaten as normal. Food is mainly soft and loose, and some more flexible and refreshing things should not be eaten more, because these things are the most difficult to digest. Soup is best drunk before meals, and drinking after meals will also increase digestive difficulties. It is best not to eat two or three hours before falling asleep, otherwise it is easy to affect falling asleep.
People with stomach problems should quit smoking, alcohol, coffee, strong tea, carbonated drinks (soda), sour and spicy foods and other irritating foods, which are the most stomach-hurting. The stomach's spleen likes to be dry and cold, so cold drinks and ice cream must also be abstained, and food is better than heat, which is a test for anyone, especially in the hot summer. There are two drinks that should be drunk more, one is milk and the other is hot water. Milk can form a protective film of the stomach, and it is best to drink a glass of milk and eat after getting up every morning [1]. Drink plenty of water, especially hot water, because in most cases people mistake lack of water for hunger.
In non-acute cases, taking medicine is not recommended, because long-term medication has side effects, and stomach disease is a chronic disease that cannot be cured in the short term. If necessary, advocate going to see a Chinese medicine doctor, and the prescription of Chinese medicine is particularly effective for nourishing the stomach.
There is also one thing that everyone knows but is difficult to do: insist on participating in appropriate physical activities, such as walking, jogging, playing tai chi, doing qigong, etc. Appropriate physical exercise can increase the gastrointestinal function of the human body, strengthen gastrointestinal peristalsis, increase the secretion of digestive juices, promote the digestion of food and the absorption of nutrients, and can improve the blood circulation of the gastrointestinal tract itself, promote its metabolism, and delay the aging of the digestive system. Before going to bed at night, lie on the bed and massage the upper and lower abdomen with both hands, back and forth, which can help the spleen transport, to accumulate stagnation, to ventilate the qi, and has a good health care effect on the spleen and stomach [2]. However, people with stomach problems should not exercise after meals, it is best to rest and wait for the stomach food to digest almost before starting to work, or walk slowly, it is also better for digestion, in short, it is not suitable for work after meals.
Stomach disease is a chronic disease that cannot be cured in a short period of time. The cure for the disease is to rely on "nourishment", not to come in a hurry, but to obtain from the improvement of living habits. We all need a good stomach and these habit changes are all required.
