Diet meals during the Spring Festival holiday, it’s really good to eat! Before and after the meal, there are no snacks or fruits left behind in the meal: melon seeds, fries, dried fruits, apples, oranges, cola...
Then, when I come back to work after the holiday, I feel that my stomach is completely incomplete, and I always feel bloated and super uncomfortable. I believe many people have the same worries. In order to eat more, I should think about how to solve the problem of abdominal distension!
Why do people suffer from abdominal distension?
Normal people generally have 100-150 ml of gas in the gastrointestinal tract, which is distributed in the stomach and colon.
When there is excessive gas in the gastrointestinal tract, it is called abdominal distension.
Qi and bloating are very common in gastrointestinal problems. Sometimes it can be relieved by exercise and walking. Sometimes it makes people roll on the bed. As long as it is abdominal pain, the symptoms are often similar, which often makes people confused, whether it is an ulcer or a stomachache.
Why does bloating occur? Is it really because I ate too much during the Spring Festival? Then why don’t you bloat if you eat too much, but you are more likely to have this problem during the Spring Festival?
Why is it easier to bloat during the Spring Festival?
What is the most indispensable snack during the Chinese New Year? Melon seeds, various dried fruits, etc.
When people get together, they always like to eat dried fruits such as sunflower seeds, watermelon seeds, pumpkin seeds, etc. Because the air continues to enter the stomach and intestines with the swallowed and chewed melon seeds, it is easy to cause belching, abdominal distension, abdominal pain and other discomforts. If you eat too much melon seeds at a time, it will consume a lot of saliva and gastric juice, affecting the digestion of normal foods and leading to indigestion.
and lactose , milk and other foods are also particularly sufficient during the Chinese New Year because the content of lactase in each person's body is different. If the amount of lactose enzyme in the body is insufficient or the activity is not high, it is difficult to digest after drinking milk or eating lactose, which can easily lead to bloating.
In addition, high-sugar fruits, such as apples, citrus, grapes and other essential fruits that are easy to produce gas during the New Year.
These fruits contain many fructose . If you are prone to abdominal distension, abdominal pain, and bad breath after eating, it is likely that fructose intolerant. The mechanism is that undigested fructose becomes food for intestinal bacteria in the intestines, and fermentation produces a large amount of gas or irritating substances. The water in the intestine cannot be fully absorbed, which leads to abdominal distension and diarrhea.
plus there are many Spring Festival gatherings. If you smoke frequently or talk endlessly, it is easy to get the air down, which leads to bloating.
Of course, you usually eat too fast, or you eat too much air.
Or eating too many qi-producing foods such as taro, chestnut, potatoes, sweet potatoes and other foods rich in starch, apples, bananas, grapefruits and other high-sugar fruits. Carbonated drinks such as Cola and Sprite, as well as radishes, onions, cabbage, beans, dried fruits, dried fruits, etc. can also easily cause bloating.
What should I do when I bloated?
1. Don’t hold your breath
If you feel like you want to exhaust, don’t hold it in. You can temporarily avoid the crowd and be sure to release it so that the stomach and intestines can relieve the stress.
2. Abdominal massage + medication
If you feel bloating and uncomfortable, you can take a simple massage method to soothe.
First apply mint oil to the area around the navel, warm the palm, start clockwise from the upper right abdomen, and then massage for about 10 to 20 cycles in the order of upper left, lower left and lower right, and can be performed 2 to 3 times a day.
Be careful not to be too strong when massaged, and avoid the uterus in the center of the abdomen slightly. It is not suitable to massage immediately after meals.
3, exercise and exhaust
Lying flat, bend your knees, wrap your hands around your calves, try to put your thighs close to your stomach, keep them for 30 seconds, straighten your legs, and repeat 10-20 times. This action can effectively help exhaust gas and prevent gas accumulation in the stomach. You can do it several times before going to bed every night to protect the stomach and intestines.
4, drink tea to relieve gas
Drink some orange peel tea, barley tea or black tea to relieve gastrointestinal bloating.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that orange peel is warm in nature, has the effects of relieving the liver and strengthening the spleen, regulating qi and regulating the middle, resolving phlegm and eliminating accumulation. It can be used for people with qi stagnation, vomiting, loose stools caused by eating too much meat, but those with real heat are used with caution;

black tea is warm in nature, which helps diuresis and swelling and promoting appetite. Drinking moderate amounts also has the effect of helping digestion, but be careful not to drink strong tea, as a large amount of theophylline will damage the stomach mucosa.
