I often hear people say that stomach discomfort is either bloating stomachache , or acid reflux, nausea, heartburn, belching . It is more important than going to the hospital for medical treatment when you are sick. It is more important to nourish the stomach and protect the stomach and not harm the stomach
Today I will tell you a few common stomach-damaging habits. See if you have it?
1. Diet too salty or too spicy
High-salt diet will not only increase the risk of hypertension and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases , but also increase the risk of cancer
Long-term high-salt diet will cause persistent damage to the gastric mucosa and ultimately cause irreversible damage. Therefore, in the diet, pay attention to reducing pickles. Intake of pickled foods and other high-salt processed foods
Do not consume more than 5g
. For people who like to eat spicy food, chili can make people have more appetite, making it easier for you to eat too much
Eating too spicy will cause burning sensation in the stomach, irritate the stomach, cause diarrhea, and abdomen. Pain or constipation
If you have gastrointestinal diseases and eat too spicy food, it will aggravate the symptoms of congestion and edema
So try to have a lighter diet, especially for people who already have problems with gastrointestinal function, you should do this more
2. Drinking alcohol regularly
Alcohol has no doubt about the damage to the gastric mucosa. When you drink a lot of high concentrations of alcohol in a short period of time, it is easy to experience acute abdominal pain and stomach bleeding
There are many people in the hospital that cause stomach bleeding due to drinking alcohol every year, so if you want to protect your stomach, don’t even get a drop of alcohol
If you really want to drink, then choose alcohol If the degree is relatively low, and drink a little in moderation. Do not drink too much
3. When eating, eat too fast
When eating too fast or eating while talking, the food often does not get good chewing
At this time, the food is too rough. After entering the stomach and intestines, it will increase the digestive burden of the intestines, prolong the stay time of the food in the intestines, and damage the mucosa of the gastrointestinal tract
. And, if you eat while talking, more gas will follow the food, which is more likely to cause belching and indigestion
. So eat carefully and chew slowly. The more you chew, the smaller the digestive burden of the intestines. , the better the food is to digest. When eating, do not focus on speaking, reduce gas swallowing, and reduce discomfort after meals.
4. Eat too late at night, sleep when you have enough
Many people eat too late for dinner, or have the habit of eating midnight snacks, and fall asleep when they go home after eating. At this time, the food has not been digested yet. Sleep at night should be the time for various organs of the body to rest and repair, but at this time the stomach still has to bear such heavy digestion work, which will reduce the quality of sleep and make it difficult to sleep well, and the gastrointestinal tract cannot get rest and adjust, which can easily cause abnormal digestive function, affect the digestion and absorption of food nutrition, and thus affect the health of the body. If children eat before going to bed, it is easy to cause indigestion and damage the child's spleen and stomach!
So don't eat too much for dinner too late, and try not to eat too much fish and meat. It should be light for easy digestion and will not increase the burden on the stomach and intestines when sleeping.
5. Eat too much for each meal
Eat only seven or eight minutes full. It is best to eat
Eat too much not only increases the burden on the stomach and intestines, but also increases the pressure on the digestive organs such as the liver and gallbladder, disrupts the normal order of the digestive system
and eating too much energy will also lead to excessive energy intake of the body and easily leads to obesity and unable to lose weight, so eat a few fewer bites, and the benefits are many.

6. Take drugs that are irritating to the stomach
Some non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are also very harmful to the gastric mucosa, such as aspirin, ibuprofen and other
Therefore, you should reduce the use of this type of medicine in normal times. If you have to use it, you should also take it under the guidance of a doctor. If necessary, you can use gastric protective drugs
7. Eating fruits does not pay attention to
There are some considerations when eating fruits. For example, the content of tannin in fruits such as persimmons, jujubes, hawthorn and other fruits are relatively high. Tannic acid and protein will form water-insoluble tannin protein precipitation under the action of gastric acid and can also combine with difficult-to-digestible fiber, pectin, gum , etc. to form gastric stone
Therefore, you must remember not to eat a large amount of persimmons, hawthorns, and dates on an empty stomach. Especially for people with indigestion, you should pay attention to eating less of these difficult-to-digestible fruits
