Having health doesn’t mean everything; losing it is the same as losing everything. People tend to trade their health for wealth when they are young, and then trade their wealth for health when they are old. People with a high quality of life overdraw money and store health; many of us are still overdrawing health and storing money. This is especially true for people with gastrointestinal diseases. Due to people’s poor living and eating habits, the incidence of gastrointestinal diseases is increasing. According to statistics, the total number of gastrointestinal disease patients in the country is nearly 300 million, 40% of which are in serious condition and suffer from gastrointestinal disease for a long time, which seriously affects the quality of life and even endangers lives. The number of people who die from gastrointestinal diseases in China is as high as 300,000 every year. “A thousand miles of dike is destroyed in the anthill”, gastrointestinal disease should not be taken lightly, think that the symptoms are mild do not take it seriously, dragging on and on. This approach is very harmful. What bad habits of life and diet can lead to gastrointestinal diseases? A, irregular diet, or hunger or full The main reason why the stomach and intestines are sick and do not serve us well is that we do not respect it too much. The stomach and intestines also have their own work and rest time. Uneven hunger and fullness can do great harm to the stomach. When the stomach is empty and hungry, the gastric mucosa secretes gastric acid and pepsin that can easily harm the stomach wall, leading to acute and chronic gastritis or ulcers. But many people do not eat breakfast, and sometimes have been busy until noon has passed before thinking about its empty stomach. The gastric mucosa is exposed to gastric acid, which has no food to digest, so it has to digest the gastric mucosa, so it leads to gastric ulcers, erosive gastritis, etc. Overeating makes the stomach expand rapidly, the stomach and intestines do not know what to do, bear the unbearable weight, in the long run, overworked, gastrointestinal disease should also be born. Binge drinking and overeating will make the stomach wall over-expansion, food in the stomach for too long, which is also prone to acute and chronic gastritis or ulcers, and even acute gastric dilatation, gastric perforation. Second, too much spicy consumption of chili pepper will produce strong stimulation of the gastrointestinal mucosa, making it congested, edema, erosion, bleeding, ulcer formation. Third, mental tension We may have such experience and experience in our life, something in the heart can not eat, tired of working overtime can not eat, after what hit can not eat, etc.. Some unexpected events, interpersonal tension, work pressure and other fatigue, anxiety and depression, will be reflected in the “can not eat” above. Stomach and mental stress are more closely related than imagined. The normal working condition of the stomach can only be successfully completed with the participation of the nervous and endocrine systems. With the development of medicine, it has been found that the gastrointestinal organ is not only a digestive organ, but also the largest and most complex endocrine organ in the human body. Endocrine cells in the gastrointestinal tract secrete gastrointestinal hormones, which regulate the secretion of digestive glands and the movement of the digestive tract. Long-term mental stress can affect the vegetative nervous system and endocrine system through the cerebral cortex, leading to vasoconstriction of the gastric mucosa, gastrointestinal dysfunction, and excessive secretion of gastric acid and pepsin, resulting in gastritis and ulcers. The incidence of gastric ulcers and duodenal ulcers is significantly higher in people with chronic stress and anxiety and mental depression seen in clinical practice. If your willpower is strong enough to face the strong work pressure, cheer for yourself every day, but your stomach is not so strong, it is not governed by your will, sensitive and fragile it has long been quietly raised the white flag. From the point of view of Chinese medicine, people’s bad mood, stress, will lead to liver qi depression, disorder, liver qi disorder will affect the function of the spleen and stomach, that is, liver and spleen disharmony. It is accompanied by insomnia, emotional irritability and temper tantrums. If mental stress is not relieved, these conditions will recur. Four, overwork Whether engaged in physical or mental labor, can not be overworked, otherwise it will cause insufficient blood supply to the digestive organs, gastric mucous membrane secretion disorders, resulting in a variety of gastrointestinal diseases occur. Five, excessive alcohol abuse “no wine can not be a seat”, “not drunk today when drunk”, “a thousand glasses of wine to meet a friend”, these friends at the table, the way of the world, I do not know how many people hurt The health of the people. It is important to know that alcohol directly harms the gastric mucosa and damages the protective barrier of the gastric mucosa, causing congestion and edema, erosion and bleeding, and even ulcers and cancer. Long-term alcohol consumption also harms the liver, causing alcoholic cirrhosis and acute pancreatitis, which in turn can lead to damage to the gastric mucosa. The higher the degree of wine, the greater the degree of damage to the stomach. Sixth, smoking addiction smoking is harmful to health, how many people will think with lung disease, but smoking is harmful to gastrointestinal health, but little known. It is important to know that the nicotine and caffeine in the cigarette will change the blood circulation of the gastrointestinal mucosa, and stimulate the secretion of gastric acid. Smoking causes vasoconstriction of the gastric mucosa and reduces prostaglandin synthesis in the gastric mucosa, which is a protective factor for the gastric mucosa, and its reduction can cause damage to the gastric mucosa. Smoking will also stimulate the secretion of gastric acid and pepsin, leading to gastric bleeding erosion and ulcer formation. Seven, strong tea and coffee when the “teahouse” “coffee house” has become a fashion, drinking strong tea and coffee has become a popular, and who knows, strong tea and coffee in addition to refreshment, but also harm human health, especially gastrointestinal health? Strong tea and coffee are central stimulants that can directly affect the gastrointestinal mucosa through neural reflexes, resulting in gastric mucosal congestion, dysfunctional secretion, destruction of the mucosal barrier, promoting gastritis, ulcers occur. Eight, swallowing swallowing when eating, food is not fully chewed, that is, not after the first full digestion in the mouth, the first step into the stomach in a hurry, is bound to increase the burden on the stomach and intestines, resulting in damage to the gastric mucosa, the accumulation of fatigue, gastric disease. Research has found that chewing slowly when saliva secretion increases, saliva has digestive enzymes, which can help the initial digestion, chewing helps large pieces of food into small pieces of food, avoiding the adverse stimulation of the gastric mucosa, which is conducive to digestion. Nine, sleep before eating sleep before eating not only affects sleep, and will stimulate the secretion of gastric acid, easy to induce ulcers, aggravating GERD. Ten, not hygienic H. pylori infection is the culprit of gastritis, ulcers and gastric cancer, it can be transmitted to each other through tableware, dental tools, kissing, etc.. Therefore, hygiene, do not use other people’s tableware, dental tools, can prevent H. pylori infection, which can prevent a variety of gastric diseases. Eleven, drug abuse Many drugs taken for a long time can damage the gastric mucosa, leading to erosive gastritis and hemorrhagic gastritis and gastric ulcers occur. Among them, there are three types of drugs commonly used to damage the gastric mucosa: one is antipyretic and analgesic drugs such as aspirin, POTUS, anti-inflammatory pain, etc.; one is hormonal drugs such as prednisone, dexamethasone; and one is antibacterial drugs such as erythromycin. Note that the application of such drugs, to strictly follow the doctor’s advice and use with caution, in order to avoid damage to the stomach. Twelve, the fear of gastroscopy a tube inserted from the mouth, through the esophagus into the stomach, patients generally feel the taste of doing gastroscopy is not good. So many people have a natural “gastroscopy phobia”. They do not pay attention to gastrointestinal symptoms and are reluctant to undergo examinations to make a clear diagnosis, and only decide to undergo examinations when symptoms such as emaciation, anemia, darkening of stools and loss of appetite appear. Modern medicine believes that among various examination methods, gastroscopy is recognized as the best method to diagnose gastric diseases, especially in the diagnosis of early gastric cancer. Gastroscopy can examine all parts of the stomach in a comprehensive three-dimensional manner from multiple angles under direct vision, and directly photograph and videotape the lesions, magnify them tens or even hundreds of times to distinguish them carefully, and also perform biopsy and pathological analysis on suspected lesions. At present, gastroscopy not only has a diagnostic role, but also can treat early gastric cancer and precancerous diseases of gastric cancer. Compared with open surgery, gastroscopy is less traumatic and more targeted, and recovery after surgery is faster. In addition, the technology of “painless gastroscopy” has been popularized. Before the patient undergoes gastroscopy, he or she is given intravenous rapid anesthesia by an anesthesiologist, and the gastroscopy can be performed in two or three minutes, and the patient has no pain during the examination, and is protected by cardiac monitoring. The latest view: the gastrointestinal is the largest and most complex endocrine organ Thirteen, lack of sleep Long-term sleep deprivation and gastritis, gastric ulcer occurrence has a certain connection. Researchers in Hong Kong had a group of more than ten rats, seven consecutive days trapped in the cage will rotate, only let the cage stop rotating one hour a day, the purpose is to interfere with the sleep of this group of rats. The other group of more than ten rats were fed and slept as usual. Preliminary results showed that in the sleep-deprived rats, stomach ulcers averaged 12 to 13 mm, while the sleep-deprived rats had only 4 mm. Experts further explained that sleep deprivation reduces blood flow to the stomach, which reduces the stomach’s ability to protect itself and leads to damage to the gastric mucosa, causing gastric ulcers. Although it is difficult to determine the relationship between sleep deprivation and gastric disease, studies have shown that chronic sleep deprivation is one of the stress factors, and stress affects gastric ulcer conditions. Therefore, it is crucial for everyone, especially office workers, to get enough sleep to reduce work stress and prevent gastric disease. But on the contrary, many workers like to “catch up on sleep” on their double days off, and wake up at noon. At this time, the stomach is still constantly secreting digestive juices waiting for food, but at this time the abdomen is empty, such as bedtime, is bound to disrupt the regularity of gastrointestinal function, a long time, the gastrointestinal mucosa will be damaged, easily induced gastritis, ulcers and indigestion and other diseases.
