Gastric distension, acid regurgitation, belching, and bad stomach? You should know these 9 stomach maintenance techniques

People take food as their first priority. Three meals a day have to be digested and absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract. Nothing is good without good food. And stomach distension, stomachache, acid regurgitation and belching are very common. I believe everyone has experienced them.

Is there any good way to protect the stomach and avoid various stomach diseases?

The health headline has sorted out nine "stomach nourishing" tips for everyone. It seems simple, but many friends have failed to do so.

　　1

Have regular meals

Keep three meals regular. Don't carry them for any reason. Don't wait until your stomach hurts and you feel sick when you are hungry.

Only when the diet is regular can the gastrointestinal movement be coordinated and the function be normal, which is the major premise of gastrointestinal health.

　　2

Don't wolf down

Let the food stay in the mouth for a longer time. The finer the food is chewed, the smaller the burden on the stomach.

Some friends suggested that you should chew 20 times before swallowing every mouthful of rice. Although it is somewhat rigid, it also has a certain reason. Friends who are used to gobbling, remember to remind themselves to chew more before swallowing when eating, and slowly develop the habit of chewing slowly.

　　3

Don't smoke and drink less

Tobacco and alcohol are the most irritating to the stomach.

Alcohol directly stimulates the gastric mucosa, which can lead to extensive congestion and erosion of the gastric mucosa, and even gastric ulcer. The damage to the stomach caused by drinking a large amount of wine may not be relieved for half a month. Don't drink the so-called health preserving "medicinal wine", which will also hurt your stomach.

As for smoke, it can be said that there is no benefit for any harm. It not only directly damages the gastric mucosa, but also damages the gastric microvessels, leaving the gastric mucosa in a "hypoxia" state for a long time, leading to the occurrence of chronic gastritis. Moreover, smoking will also increase the incidence rate of gastric ulcer and chronic gastritis.

　　4

Eat less things that your stomach doesn't like

There is no special unified standard on what to eat less. The stomach is like a person. Everyone has different habits of "picky eating". For those who have bad stomachs, pay attention to what they will eat and eat less in the future.

For example, some friends will feel uncomfortable eating chili, so they should eat less; Some people feel uncomfortable drinking cold water, so drink less; Don't look at others eating and drinking spicy food all day. You have to compete with others. There is no need to compete with your stomach.

　　5

Eat less or no pickled food

The content of nitrite in baked or pickled foods such as ham, sausages and various pickles is often high.

Nitrite can be converted into nitrosamines in the stomach, which is one of the main causes of gastric cancer. Among them, pickled meat has a greater risk of cancer.

Friends with poor gastrointestinal function, as well as the elderly and children, should try to eat less or not to eat these foods.

　　6

Be careful with "stomach nourishing" folk prescription or health products

Those so-called "stomach nourishing" biscuits on the market should be eaten as little as possible. They usually add a lot of sugar and oil to taste, but they are not suitable for friends with bad stomachs.

As for the legendary stomach nourishing Congee and stomach nourishing soup, they are good as ordinary dishes, and there is no need to believe in their efficacy. In addition, many Congee and soup are also high in oil and salt, which is not healthy. It is not recommended to drink more.

　　7

Pay attention to food and tableware hygiene

Epidemiological studies show that the infection rate of Helicobacter pylori in China is more than 50%. This bacteria, living in the stomach, can cause various kinds of discomfort, and is the cause of many acute and chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer, and even gastric cancer.

People infected with Helicobacter pylori are mostly caused by eating contaminated food or using utensils that are not strictly disinfected. In order to prevent, in addition to paying attention to not eating indiscriminately outside, we should strictly implement the "washing hands before and after meals".

Don't laugh, everyone. Think about the common sense that children all know. How many friends do it strictly?

　　8

Relax and adjust your mood

Some friends often have stomach discomfort, but when they go to the hospital for examination, blood sampling, B-ultrasound, gastroscopy, enteroscopy and so on are all normal, and then they get a diagnosis of "functional dyspepsia". For these friends, there are often emotional problems such as too nervous and depressed.

At the same time, friends with functional dyspepsia can often improve their stomach discomfort after anti-anxiety treatment.

These facts all show that mental and emotional factors have a great impact on gastrointestinal health.

Friends who think they have a bad stomach should think about whether they are under too much mental pressure? Can I relax?

　　9

Gastric discomfort, see a doctor as soon as possible

Stomach pain, bloating, acid regurgitation and belching are common. Some may have no major problems, while others cannot be ignored.

Gastrointestinal diseases, from functional dyspepsia to gastric cancer, are indistinguishable in the severity of symptoms. Even experienced digestive doctors need to identify whether it is a big problem or a small problem through gastroscopy and enteroscopy.

Friends with stomach discomfort should not casually label themselves as empty here and cold there, and should not be afraid to think whether they have stomach cancer all day. What is the problem? Go to the hospital and check it out.
