In autumn, many people know to prevent dryness and moisturize the lungs. While busy nourishing the yin and supplementing, do not forget to protect the stomach and nourish the stomach. Autumn is in the transition stage of "yang dissipating yin long", coupled with hot days and cool nights, cold and hot climate, it is easy to cause the recurrence of diseases in patients with stomach diseases.
Ge Yan, director of the Department of Spleen and Gastroenterology of the Second Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Guangdong Province, said that through proper conditioning and stomach nourishment, it can help improve gastrointestinal function.
Professor Ge Yan proposed that people with chronic gastritis or yang deficiency and qi deficiency should pay more attention to stomach nourishment in the autumn. Chinese medicine believes that Yang Qi has the effect of warming limbs and internal organs, and people with Yang deficiency are prone to symptoms of weakness and coldness, stomach Yang deficiency is very common in such people, while people with Qi deficiency constitution often feel weak, loss of appetite, and yellowish complexion, the spleen and stomach function of these two groups is poor, so the stomach is also prone to conditions in autumn.
Ge Yan said that patients with cold stomach added ginger and pepper to food in an appropriate amount to have the effect of strengthening the stomach and warming the stomach.

At the turn of summer and autumn, the key to nourishing the stomach is to avoid overeating. Ge Yan said that from a functional point of view, only when the stomach is unobstructed, food can enter the intestine smoothly.
If you eat too much, the food in the stomach "big jam", the channel will be blocked, and can not play a grinding, digestion, transmission role; and if you lie down immediately after the meal, there is no moderate activity, the food is not easy to "descend" to the small intestine, can not be truly digested and absorbed by the body, when the food is left in the stomach, it is naturally easy to cause vomiting, flatulence or belching.
Therefore, the conditioning of the spleen and stomach should focus on clearing the heat, strengthening the spleen, and eating more cooked, soft and appetizing foods that are easy to digest. Eat less spicy and irritating greasy foods, appropriate "clean the intestines" - drink more porridge in the morning and evening, and reduce the burden on the stomach and intestines.
She reminded that for the elderly and people with chronic gastritis and enteritis, it is not advisable to rush to supplement due to the weakening of spleen and stomach function. Otherwise, it is easy to aggravate symptoms such as loss of appetite and indigestion due to "deficiency and lack of compensation".
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="87" > a pleasant mood is also a stomach</h1>
"Now urban people work under great pressure, if they often stay up late, the quality of sleep is not high, or the spirit is in a state of tension for a long time, it may lead to insufficient stomach yin in the human body." Ge Yan explained, "Judging from the Five Elements Theory, the stomach is dry soil, and it is moist and dry. ”
In addition, the relationship between the liver and the stomach is also very close, the spleen and stomach transport function depends on the drainage of liver qi, so nervousness, anxiety, depression, irritation and other emotions are easy to hurt the liver, resulting in liver qi is not sparse, spleen loss of transportation, prone to a series of digestive tract symptoms, such as no appetite, bloating, stomach pain, vomiting, belching and so on.
Therefore, to nourish the stomach, we must also pay attention to the regulation of the spirit. Pay attention to the combination of work and leisure, reduce stress, maintain mental pleasure and emotional stability, to prevent excessive mental fatigue and affect the normal functioning of the gastrointestinal tract.
