Winter health talk stomach Every winter, the number of patients with various stomach diseases in hospitals increases significantly. Cold weather can easily trigger gastric diseases. People suffering from gastric and duodenal ulcers, chronic gastritis, and Helicobacter pylori infection inevitably have a recurrence of their old illnesses in the cold season. This is due to the cold stimulation of the nervous system, so that its excitability increased, the innervation of the plant nerves in a state of tension, under the reflex action of the parasympathetic nerve, resulting in disruption of gastrointestinal regulation, increased secretion of gastric acid, which in turn stimulates the gastric mucosa or ulcer surface, so that the stomach produces spasmodic contraction, resulting in gastric ischemia, hypoxia, thus causing recurrence and recurrence of gastric disease. The Nei Jing says, “The spleen and stomach are the root of the latter.” The function of the spleen and stomach is very important; it is the source of biochemical energy and blood, the source of manufacturing essence and blood, the source of all nutrients, and all nutrients needed for the growth of the later life depend on the transport and absorption function of the spleen and stomach. The spleen and stomach function well, absorbing nutrients adequately, supplying to all organs of the body, blood and fluid substances are sufficient, the body grows vigorously, vitality is naturally strong. If the spleen and stomach function is very poor, eat what does not smell, then the internal organs, blood are not moistened, how can people be healthy? This is a very obvious truth. Therefore, the good or bad function of the spleen and stomach is directly related to the health of the mind, heart, liver, lungs, kidneys, gas, blood, fluids, bones, muscles, and skin. Therefore, we say that the spleen and stomach are the foundation of the latter. According to Chinese medicine, “If you have stomach qi, you will live; if you don’t have stomach qi, you will die.” This means that stomach energy is the basic condition of life and health. How does the stomach function as the root of the afterlife? “The stomach is the sea of water and grain, food and drink into the stomach, and the essence of the spleen to the lungs, up to the spring and summer order to nourish the body, is clear air for the day. It is also the clear energy for the earth. It has been transferred down to the bladder, to carry out the order of autumn and winter, to transfer the dregs, to turn the taste and out, is the cloudy yin for the earth. If you follow the four seasons of the gas, living sometimes, to avoid the cold and heat, diet, and not violent joy and anger, in order to nourish the spirit, always want the four seasons are flat, and no bias, is safe. Otherwise, damage to the spleen and stomach, the real qi down slip, or down the drainage and can not rise for a long time, is the autumn and winter without spring and summer, is the growth of the use, trapped in the death of the qi, and all the diseases rise. Or long ascending but not descending, also sick”. In clinical practice, we often see patients with weak spleen and stomach, they are often pale or yellow, their faces are not lustrous, their bodies are very thin, as if a gust of wind can blow over, they are mostly weak in speech, their spirits are depressed, their bodies hurt here and there, they are all uncomfortable, and they always give people an impression of weakness and aging. This is caused by the damage to the spleen and stomach function over time. Such patients are often very distressing to watch. The “Su Wen Si Qi Tuning Shen Da Lun” points out: “The sage does not treat the disease to treat the disease, not to treat the chaos to treat the chaos. …… the disease has become and after the medicine, chaos has become and after the treatment, such as thirst and wear well, bucket and cast cone, is not also late”. The most classic meaning of “treating the undiseased” is that when you are in a healthy state, you have to prevent the undiseased first. Another example is “Ling Shu? The Book of Adversity and Conformity points out: “The superior worker treats the undiseased and does not treat the already diseased. This is what it means. Here, “treating the undiseased” mainly emphasizes timely treatment when the disease is not yet developed, when the evil Qi is not yet prevalent, and when the positive Qi is not yet deficient after the disease. The spleen and the stomach are the source of the postnatal essence, the source of Qi and blood biochemistry, so the strength of the spleen and the stomach is an important factor in determining the longevity of a person. The stomach is strong, the stomach is weak, there is a stomach is alive, no stomach is dead, so the health of the family should take the spleen and stomach as the first” (“Jing Yue Quan Shu Spleen and Stomach”). If the spleen and stomach are healthy, the water and grain essence will be abundant, the essence will be sufficient, the internal organs will be strong, and the god will be healthy. The spleen and stomach are the hubs of qi elevation, and the coordination of the spleen and stomach can promote and regulate the body’s metabolism and ensure the normal conduct of life activities. Therefore, Chinese medicine health care attaches great importance to the regulation of the spleen and stomach, through dietary regulation, drug regulation, mental regulation, acupuncture and massage, qigong regulation, living and working to achieve the purpose of strengthening the spleen and stomach, nourishing the latter and prolonging life. After the winter personal prevention of gastric disease, the first stomach, you need to pay attention to the following seven aspects: 1, the diet should be regular, hygiene. Meals sometimes too early, sometimes too late, delicious eat more, not delicious eat less, or arbitrarily eat cold food, snacks, so that the workload of the stomach and intestines tight a while, loose a while, which is easy to cause gastrointestinal disease. The diet is not sanitary, corrupt food eaten easily poisoned. Therefore, the choice of food, pay attention to fresh, clean, eating regularly, is the primary problem to prevent gastrointestinal disease. Not eating breakfast can not only cause cholecystitis, duodenal ulcers and other diseases, but also seriously affect your brain activity, the whole body’s energy energy and the function of the internal organs. 2, the taste should be light. To keep the gastric impulse and the gas, you have to often eat some vegetarian light meals, properly supplemented with some meat fatty sweet food. Gastric patients’ diet should be warm, soft and light vegetarian, to eat less and more meals, regular and quantitative, so that the stomach often have food and gastric acid, to prevent gastric acid erosion of the gastric mucosa and ulcer surface. When eating, chew slowly, do not eat cold, and quit smoking, alcohol, to prevent stimulation of the gastric mucosa, prompting ulcer deterioration and recurrence. 3, the mood to be optimistic. Studies have shown that gastric and duodenal ulcers are closely related to the psychology and emotions of people. Excessive sorrow, sadness, terror, tension, anger can lead to the occurrence of gastrointestinal disease. Therefore, the prevention and treatment of gastrointestinal disease, to often be in a happy mood, remain optimistic, avoid the stimulation of bad factors such as suffering from loss, anxiety, fear, tension, sadness. 4, the body to exercise. To actively participate in various sports activities, which is conducive to improving blood circulation in the gastrointestinal tract, improve the ability to adapt to climate change; to scientific arrangements for life, pay attention to the combination of work and rest, to ensure sufficient sleep, to prevent overwork, to reduce the chances of morbidity. 5, the use of drugs should be careful. Clinical practice has proved that drugs that are strongly irritating to the gastric mucosa should be prohibited. If you need to take these drugs due to illness, you should take them after meals or add drugs that protect the stomach at the same time. In addition, the disappearance of symptoms treated with medication is not the same as a complete cure for gastrointestinal disease. Chronic gastrointestinal disease mostly develops into organic lesions, and although the symptoms can disappear temporarily soon, the trauma surface still needs to recover gradually. Patients should continue to take medication for a period of time to consolidate the effect of treatment. Many drugs can irritate or damage the gastric mucosa and even cause ulcers. If needed, you may want to see a Chinese doctor, Chinese medicine tends to pay more attention to nourishing the stomach. 6, diet should be more sweet more warm: sweet food can nourish the spleen and stomach. For example, yam, millet, pumpkin and other foods, have a good role in nourishing the spleen and stomach, and can improve immunity. Proper supplementation of vitamin C: vitamin C has a protective effect on the stomach, and maintaining a normal amount of vitamin C in the gastric juice can effectively perform the function of the stomach, protect the stomach and enhance the stomach’s anti-cancer power. 7.Nourish the stomach to keep the stomach warm. To change with the climate, add and subtract clothes at the right time, and sleep well at night to cover the quilt to prevent the abdomen from catching cold and leading to stomach attacks. Cold winter season, the temperature difference between day and night changes, people should add clothes according to the climate change, especially old stomach patients, sleep at night must cover a good quilt, to prevent the stomach from getting cold and cause stomach pain or aggravate the stomach disease. Nowadays, some people are greedy for cold and still sleep on cool mats, thinking that this is a kind of anti-chill training, but ignoring the warmth of the stomach. The cold invades the body unknowingly, causing spasmodic contraction of the person’s resistance, which leads to the occurrence of conditions such as stomach pain. Others still have a preference for ice cream, chilled watermelon, ice porridge and other cold foods remain unabated, which can easily stimulate the stomach, stomach up, stomach pain, panic acid and other uncomfortable symptoms. In the month of February, the principle of “hiding” should be to converge Yang and protect Yin. Huang Di Nei Jing – Su Wen – Four Qi Tuning Shen Da Lun” pointed out: “make the will if the ambush if hidden, if there is a private intention, if there has been obtained”. It is to avoid all kinds of interference and stimulation, in a state of tranquility, in the winter month of closed storage, should be adjusted to the internal organs, in order to protect the essence of the spirit. Food to nourish the body, autumn and winter tonic, is the main theme of December, let us start from nourishing the stomach, in this winter, to be a healthy person, to be a happy person, waiting for the spring flowers, the stomach in the belly smile.
