On a sunny morning, Xu Binbin's old friend Lin Shaoqian made a special trip from his hometown to Xu Binbin's door with a large basket of freshly picked cherries.
Seeing the gift in the hand of his old friend, Xu Binbin was full of joy, hurriedly expressed his gratitude, and asked about the physical condition of Lin Shaoqian's parents with concern.
This sudden concern sparked a conversation about health.
Lin Shaoqian replied with a smile that his parents had recently changed their eating habits following the advice of a famous doctor.
As soon as his words fell, Xu Binbin immediately became interested and asked eagerly, "Oh, what kind of suggestion?"
Lin Shaoqian waved his hand, as if he was about to start a tirade, and then said in a low voice: "That doctor once told us solemnly: 'In the morning, you had better stay away from these three foods, they are a kind of torture to your stomach!'"
As a food magazine editor who loves cooking, Xu Binbin's interest in food is far beyond ordinary people.
When he heard Lin Shaoqian's account, he almost immediately wanted to know what those three "poisonous" foods were.
As the conversation progressed, the foods Mr. Lin mentioned were strikingly similar to Mr. Xu's usual breakfasts — cold drinks, undercooked leafy greens and an overabundance of citrus fruits.
First of all, cold drinks, especially cold drinks or dairy products, can irritate the gastric mucosa in the morning on an empty stomach, causing stomach discomfort and even cramps.
The doctor explained that in the morning, the stomach of the human body is still in a state of "awakening", and the sudden stimulation of cold drinks can put unnecessary pressure on the stomach.
According to a survey of 1,000 adults, more than 35% of people who drink cold drinks in the morning suffer from chronic gastritis or other digestive diseases.
Secondly, although uncooked leafy greens are rich in fiber and vitamins, they are eaten on an empty stomach in the morning, and due to their coarse fiber and difficult to digest, they can easily cause overburden on the stomach, causing stomach pain or bloating.
One study showed that people who regularly consumed raw and cold vegetables for breakfast were more likely to experience symptoms of gastrointestinal disorders.
Finally, citrus fruits such as oranges and grapefruits, although excellent sources of vitamin C,
However, they contain a lot of fruit acids, and eating them in large quantities on an empty stomach can increase gastric acid secretion and irritate the stomach lining, which is especially bad for people suffering from gastritis or gastric ulcers.
According to a follow-up study of patients with chronic gastritis, those who regularly ate citrus fruits for breakfast had a significantly higher recurrence rate than those who did not eat them regularly.
Through these explanations, Xu Binbin has a new understanding of breakfast choices.
At the end of the article, Xu Binbin pondered a question: if changing these three foods in breakfast can significantly improve stomach health,
So, are there any other easy ways to protect your stomach health for those who have difficulty adjusting their diet due to their occupation or lifestyle habits?
This question led to an in-depth discussion of a comprehensive lifestyle adjustment.
For example, increasing moderate physical activity, optimizing your diet, and adopting moderate stress management techniques are all effective ways to keep your stomach healthy.
And these methods, while not directly related to specific food types, are an important part of maintaining digestive health.
