Now that the living conditions have improved a lot, almost everyone can eat their favorite food according to their preferences. However, the incidence of stomach diseases has not decreased, but has shown an upward trend. In fact, this has a certain relationship with poor living and eating habits, and timely correction can help improve gastrointestinal health.
What are the causes of the high incidence of stomach diseases?
1. Alcoholism
Excessive alcohol intake can directly damage the gastric mucosa and increase the incidence of gastric ulcers. In addition, alcohol also increases the incidence of cirrhosis and chronic pancreatitis, thereby increasing the digestive burden on the stomach. Over time, the damage to the stomach will become more and more serious. Therefore, people who have the habit of drinking alcohol should drink within the time limit.
2. Unbalanced diet
When hungry, the concentration of stomach acid and protease in the stomach will become higher because there is no food neutralization, resulting in self-digestion of the mucous membrane and stomach ulcers. Overeating destroys the stomach's self-protection mechanism, overdilates the stomach wall, makes food stay too long, and causes stomach damage.
3. The diet is not clean
Helicobacter pylori infection is the main causative factor for gastric ulcers and duodenal ulcers. About 70%-90% of ulcer patients are infected with Helicobacter pylori, and Helicobacter pylori may be present in unclean food, so an unclean diet may also cause stomach damage.
4. Excessive fatigue
Whether engaged in physical or mental labor, once excessive fatigue, it will lead to insufficient blood supply to the gastrointestinal tract, gastrointestinal secretion dysfunction, excessive gastric acid or reduced mucus, and damage to the gastric mucosa. Therefore, no matter what you do, you should emphasize the combination of work and leisure.
5. Mental tension
If you are often in a state of tension, annoyance and anger, bad emotions will spread through the cerebral cortex to the limbic system, thereby affecting the autonomic nervous system, causing gastrointestinal dysfunction, causing the stomach to secrete more gastric acid and pepsin, gastric vasoconstriction, causing damage to the protective layer of the gastric mucosa, and over time leading to gastric ulcers.
