Long-term fasting and irritation of the gastric mucosa is likely to lead to chronic inflammation of the stomach and even the development of gastric cancer.
If the stomach is fasted for a long time, but the gastric mucosa is secreted by a large amount of gastric acid, resulting in long-term erosion of the gastric mucosa, it will cause chronic inflammation of the gastric mucosa, which may lead to the development of stomach cancer in the long run. Therefore it is important to eat regularly and not to fast often.
Nowadays, some young people are very keen on fasting to lose weight due to obesity and other reasons. This is likely to lead to chronic inflammation of the stomach, which can lead to serious gastric cancer.
So it is important to fast scientifically, and it is best to take medications that protect the gastric mucosa, such as ranitidine, gastrodine, etc., during the fasting period to ensure that the gastric mucosa is protected from gastric disease during the fasting period. You can also go to the hospital for regular medical checkups and have an annual gastroscopy, which is good for understanding the condition of your gastrointestinal tract.
If you are on a diet, consider light fasting or reducing the amount of food you eat to control your diet, but absolute fasting or abrupt fasting is not recommended, and you should gradually reduce the amount of food you eat or it will likely lead to gastric problems.
