For some people who have poor eating habits for a long time, it is easy to suffer from repeated abdominal distension, abdominal pain, belching, acid reflux, constipation, diarrhea and a series of indigestion problems.
If these problems occur for a long time, it will seriously affect the digestive function , and also affect the body's absorption of food nutrients , which will affect the overall immunity .
Therefore, when indigestion occurs repeatedly, you must pay attention to dietary adjustments. Certain foods must not be taken in too much or not taken in at all, otherwise, it will aggravate indigestion.
What foods should people with poor digestion reduce their intake?
1. Overly hard food
For people with indigestion, be sure not to eat any overly hard food. For example, steamed buns, rice crackers, sesame seed cakes, beef jerky, dried steamed buns, or spare ribs , various nuts , and various extremely sticky foods . These too hard foods are digested very slowly, which will increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract of 2.
Moreover, if these foods are not chewed carefully, they can easily damage the oral cavity, esophagus, and stomach mucosa, causing mechanical scratches. This affects the overall digestive tract health, and the probability of suffering from a series of digestive tract inflammation and even ulcers will be very high. It will also increase the burden on the intestines, slow down the intestinal metabolic function, and easily cause severe constipation.
2. Spicy and stimulating foods
Many people who suffer from indigestion will deliberately eat spicy foods such as peppers , believing that the capsaicin contained in peppers can stimulate the peristalsis speed of the gastrointestinal tract and help improve indigestion. This statement is not accurate.
Although the capsaicin in peppers can indeed stimulate the gastrointestinal tract to accelerate peristalsis, it can also cause gastrointestinal mucosa to be strongly stimulated. The gastrointestinal mucosa of patients with indigestion already has problems. Once it is strongly stimulated, the probability of inducing some inflammation and ulcers diseases will be particularly high, thus aggravating the indigestion phenomenon.
Therefore, for people who suffer from indigestion, they must reduce or prohibit the intake of spicy foods such as chili, pepper, mustard in their daily diet.
3. Excessive gas-producing foods
include some radishes, onions, raw garlic, raw onions, ginger, leeks, potatoes, taro, chestnuts, etc. These foods are all gas-producing foods.
After these foods enter the body, the digestion speed is extremely slow, increasing the burden of the gastrointestinal tract . After entering the gastrointestinal tract, a large amount of ammonia , hydrogen sulfide and other gases will be produced under the action of some bacteria, which will lead to aggravation of indigestion and severe abdominal distension and abdominal pain .
4. Greasy food
When indigestion occurs, do not consume foods that are too greasy, including some fried foods, fatty meat, broth , etc.
These overly greasy foods not only digest very slowly, but also contain a large amount of protein components that will be overly decomposed by bacteria in the stomach, and ferment to produce a lot of gas . It will lead to abdominal distension, abdominal pain , or belching, diarrhea and a series of indigestion symptoms.
In short, for people with indigestion, the above four foods must be reduced or banned.
In addition, do not eat too much high-salt, high-sugar and raw or cold foods. These foods will aggravate indigestion and even induce various digestive tract diseases.
In addition, for people with severe or recurring indigestion, they should go to the hospital for a series of examinations and receive corresponding treatment according to the cause, so that the indigestion can be completely eliminated.
