This part is the human body's " abdominal brain ", which is the general term for the autonomic nervous system in the abdomen and pelvic cavity.
It is the "commander" of the digestive system, conveying information about hot and cold eating, whether food is irritating to the body, etc. When you are not used to it, you will experience a series of emergency responses, such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, etc.
The abdominal brain and the brain actually have similarities, and it has "memory function".
People reach a certain age, their spleen and stomach function begins to weaken, and their abdomen and brain will naturally be particularly sensitive to the warmth and coldness of their diet.
This point reminds us to pay attention to: "abdominal brain" is healthy, while the human body delays aging and is beneficial to longevity.
Before eating, drink some warm water to nourish the stomach and intestines
In autumn, be careful not to drink too much cold drink
Care the abdomen and brain well. What should you pay attention to?
First, the best dietary hot and cold is about the same as body temperature
In terms of eating, pay special attention to the impact of cold and cold ingredients on health.
For cold, raw and cold foods, you should also eat appropriately this season and do not eat too much. For example, "comfortable" foods such as eating fruits on an empty stomach, drinking cold drinks, eating ice cream, cucumbers, and tomatoes.
Will eating more raw and cold food damage the spleen and stomach? The answer is yes.
Autumn, pay attention to the harmony of the diet and the body
Sun Simiao believes that "heat food hurts bones, cold food hurts lungs, heat does not burn lips, cold does not ice teeth."
The general meaning is: Eating things that are too hot and too hot can easily damage the internal organs, bones and bone marrow; foods that are too cold can damage the lungs, and coldness can easily lead to insufficient lung qi . It is best to eat without burning your lips or ice your teeth.
When the diet we eat is too cold, it will cause stress reactions in the digestive system. Blood circulation is not smooth due to low body temperature, which will cause food to stay in the gastrointestinal tract for too long, and the digestive system will experience "malfunction" and cause abdominal distension, abdominal pain, diarrhea, etc.
The brain and abdominal brain of a person actually have a joint response. Foods that are too cold will cause people to react immediately. For example, drinking ice water and eating ice cream will make the body feel uncomfortable immediately.
Eating foods similar to body temperature is very beneficial to the stomach and intestines, and can promote metabolism and improve gastrointestinal function. Middle-aged and elderly friends should pay special attention to this.
For example: In autumn, it is best to heat the boxed milk and freshly squeezed vegetable juice before drinking.
Be especially careful about the temperature of your diet for breakfast
Second, try not to eat overnight meals
Eat overnight meals frequently. Maybe some people feel that there is no problem, but once a problem occurs, it may be really fatal. This situation is often reported.
Vegetables, seafood, and wontons overnight are most likely to spoil, breeding various bacteria and even pathogenic bacteria, which are prone to diseases. Some people may think that it is not a big problem to have diarrhea occasionally, and they also lose weight by the way. This view is wrong.
Perhaps, just one "hit" will cause food poisoning , and it is also very likely to damage the main organs. Someone around me had continuous diarrhea due to eating iced watermelon overnight in summer, and was admitted to the hospital for emergency treatment.
Every overnight meals often may be "infected" at any time
Middle-aged and elderly people have weak spleen and stomach functions, so they should pay attention to taking care of themselves and cherish the health they have now. Try not to eat overnight leftovers, let alone cold rice.
When eating, drink some hot soup to moisturize the throat, gastrointestinal tract. Persistence will promote and help digestion and enhance spleen and stomach function.
The intestine is the human body's largest immune system and has about 70% of the body's defense ability. These defense cells are connected to the "abdominal brain". Therefore, when intake of improper diet, you may experience a series of discomfort symptoms such as vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, gastrointestinal cramps, etc., and these symptoms are also protective reactions of the human body. Once the
defense system is "lost", health will face threats.
gastrointestinal health is good, do not damage the intestinal immune system,
, pay attention to the acid-base balance of food ingredients
If we often eat grains, meat and eggs, eat less vegetables and fruits, carbohydrates and protein will consume too much, the body lacks various vitamins, the acidic substances produced by the body will gradually increase, and the stomach will have flatulence, pantothenic acid, stagflation, and other body chain reactions, which will lead to burnout and mental depression.
Therefore, you cannot always eat pickles, instant noodles, bread sausages, mooncakes and other types to satisfy your hunger. Try to diversify the ingredients as much as possible. Make sure to eat half to one pound of vegetables every day.
The acid-base balance of human body fluids is very important for health. Only when you are balanced will you feel comfortable and get less sick. The body's resistance and immunity will be enhanced accordingly.
Advocate the diversity of ingredients according to their own physical condition
Summary:
The above three points are the first to perceive and make "adjustment plans". This set of nervous system is the "frontier" of physical health and the "big camp" of the health of the internal organs. It cannot be ignored to maintain it.
usually maintains its health, and pay attention to starting from strengthening the spleen and stomach functions, grasps the eating threshold, pay attention to the hot, freshness and diversity of the ingredients, makes the healthy internal environment more harmonious, so as to achieve the purpose of prolonging life.
Healthy life starts with good eating habits
