Stomach to have good habits
Eat less and more stomach overtime
Many people suffering from stomach problems have been following the principle of “eating less and more meals”, in addition to breakfast, lunch and dinner, but also in the morning, afternoon, before going to bed to add a meal, hoping to neutralize stomach acid through this approach, to reduce the stomach stimulation. However, in the opinion of experts, “eat less and more meals” is only suitable for patients who have undergone partial gastrectomy, the vast majority of people should adhere to the three meals a day regular ration.
After each meal, the stomach needs 4 to 5 hours to digest food, so each meal should be separated by 4 to 6 hours, which can help the stomach and intestines work and rest regularly, so that the stomach and intestines remain in good condition and reduce the occurrence of gastrointestinal diseases. On the contrary, eating less and more meals is to make the stomach work overtime, which will repeatedly stimulate the secretion of gastric acid and affect the rest of the stomach. Therefore, gastric ulcer, gastritis or functional indigestion should be regular diet, regular ration. Less food more “meals”, the meal does not mean the main meal, you can add some fruit and other supplementary food.
Swallowing to cheat the stomach
Whenever you eat lunch, there are always some people in the office who gobble up the food and can solve the battle within 5 minutes. Although these people look young and strong, can eat and drink, but their intestines and stomach suffered for this, over time will be “stomach old first decline” ……
The urban population lives at a fast pace, but then speed up can not eat when wolf swallowing, directly into the stomach meal. Chewing food is actually the first step in the digestive process, in this process, the food is not only chewed up, will also secrete more saliva, to play the role of initial digestion. If the food is not chewed and swallowed directly into the stomach, it is like giving several people’s work to the stomach to do alone, which will certainly make the stomach can not bear.
In addition, chew slowly can also help control the diet. This is because whether people feel full or not, the brain feels whether the stomach is full, the brain feels full before “stop”, the stomach’s feeling of fullness to the brain takes time. Therefore, if you eat faster, do not give the brain the time to respond, you will eat too much food, and over time will cause obesity.
A number of studies have found that people who “eat every meal very full” have a higher incidence of dementia compared to those who “basically eat only eight portions”. If every meal is too full, the last meal has not been digested, the next meal again, the digestive system does not get the rest it deserves, resulting in health risks.
Sleepy after a meal needs to be rested
Many people have heard that you can not exercise after meals, and even some people because of exercise after meals and caused stomach pain …… In this regard, experts say that normal people exercise immediately after meals, although not to cause stomach pain, but it does add burden to the gastrointestinal, affecting the normal digestion of the stomach.
Generally speaking, after eating the body’s blood flow will be concentrated to the stomach, to digest food, so some people will have a relative lack of blood in the brain, after eating the phenomenon of sleepy, called “physiological anemia”. If you exercise after a meal, some of the blood will inevitably go to the bones and muscles, and the blood supply to the stomach will be reduced, which will delay the secretion of digestive juices, affecting the normal digestion of the stomach and easily inducing functional indigestion. Therefore, do not move immediately after the meal, sit down and rest for a while and then exercise is not too late.
It should be noted that sleepiness after eating not only indicates brain ischemia, lack of oxygen, but also may be a sign of weakness of qi and blood. At this time should pay more attention to the regulation of qi and blood, otherwise it will certainly affect the quality of life.
Stomach first learn to eat
Drinking juice for breakfast is not advisable
A few slices of bread, a glass of juice or fruit and vegetable juice …… Nowadays, more and more young people are choosing Western-style breakfast, but ignored one of the most important issues – our stomach “like warmth afraid of cold The most important issue is that our stomachs are “warm but not cold”.
Chinese medicine believes that eating “hot food” “cooked food” can protect the “stomach qi”. Generally speaking, people usually feel hungry when the body will be cold, after eating, the body will feel warm, this is the result of eating warm food to help the stomach Yang Qi. According to Chinese medicine, a point of gastric energy, there will be a point of vitality, it can be seen, to protect the spleen and stomach is very important. On the contrary, some people often eat cold food, you will find that the stool is always thin, the skin is getting worse, or the throat is always faint phlegm, but also often cold, this is the cause of injury to the stomach qi. The spleen and stomach for the day after this, the source of biochemistry, the spleen and stomach weak, lack of sources of Qi and blood. So eat breakfast, never just drink fruit and vegetable juice, iced coffee, iced juice, iced tea, green bean paste, iced milk, etc. This may not make you feel any discomfort in a short period of time, in fact, it will make your body weaken day by day.
Drinking porridge for the stomach should not be too much
Many people know that drinking porridge can nourish the stomach, but drinking porridge is not simple, if you drink the wrong, not only not nourish the stomach, but harmful to the body.
Porridge has warm, soft, light, sticky and other characteristics, not only warm stomach, but also easy to digest and absorb. Especially after the porridge is boiled above the floating layer of sticky material, Chinese medicine called “rice oil”, has a strong tonic effect. This is like boiling Chinese medicine, drug residue are sunk in the bottom, drug ingredients are in the soup, a large part of the nutrition of the porridge is also in the soup, especially “rice oil” in the most abundant. Therefore, drinking porridge is indeed the first choice for the stomach.
However, although the porridge is good can not drink all the time, many elderly people are often drinking porridge, and finally drank into malnutrition. Congee is a liquid food, and the northerners rarely put lean meat, vegetables and other auxiliary ingredients when boiling congee, if long-term drinking this porridge, it is easy to lead to malnutrition. So drink porridge should also pay attention to balanced nutrition, not just drink porridge. You can cook the porridge thicker, with a meat and vegetables, to ensure adequate intake of fat and protein.
Bad digestion can not be too vegetarian
Roast duck, fried chicken, braised meat …… fried, greasy food is not easy to digest and will increase the burden on the stomach and intestines, but a light diet is never the same as eating only vegetarian.
Although vegetarian dishes contain a lot of dietary fiber and rich vitamins, but the lack of essential protein, fat, long-term vegetarian diet can easily lead to nutritional imbalance. Therefore, people should still eat meat every day, and they can eat more lean meat, eggs, milk, fish and soy products, as long as they don’t make it too greasy when cooking.
If people with poor digestion, or the elderly with bad teeth, you can do some processing of all kinds of food in advance. For example, you can often eat some buns, dumplings, meat and vegetables are processed finer, can also help reduce the burden on the stomach and intestines. In addition, you can also add two or three sand nuts when stewing meat – sand nuts can be seasoned, but also can play a role in regulating the stomach, nourishing the stomach and helping digestion. Generally you need to soak the sand nuts in water for 20 minutes first, put them in when the stew is almost out of the pot, and then stew for 10 minutes.
Soda cookies for the stomach is not reliable
Many people with bad stomachs carry a packet of soda crackers with them, and when they are hungry or have a stomachache, they take them out to eat a little, and they feel that they work very well. However, in the opinion of experts, soda crackers are only crispy and can neutralize a little bit of stomach acid, but their effect is similar to that of other foods, and the advantage is that they are easy to carry. Therefore, if you often have stomach pain, do not expect soda crackers to help you, the key is to ensure that the three meals regularly, do not over-starve. Crackers are crispy but not small in calories, especially for dieters.
Compared to foods such as soda crackers, pasta such as buns are more effective in nourishing the stomach, especially if you toast a slice of bun before eating. This is because, the toasted bread slices and bun slices will form a layer of paste, this layer can neutralize stomach acid, inhibit gastric acid secretion, play a role in protecting the gastric mucosa.
