Daily maintenance for patients with stomach problems

  Chronic gastric disease often has a long duration and is affected by various factors, therefore, in addition to the active use of drug therapy, plain maintenance is very important. As the saying goes, “three parts medicine, seven parts nourishment”, for patients with gastric disease is exactly the same.  In Western medicine, there are pathogenic factors such as Helicobacter pylori, while in Chinese medicine, the causes of human diseases include six external mirths, seven internal injuries, diet, labor and fatigue, seasonal epidemics and toxins, and injuries from bruises, etc. In the case of gastric diseases, they are mainly related to diet, emotions and labor and fatigue, resulting in food injury to the spleen and stomach (in Chinese medicine, “spleen and stomach” refers to the organs that perform digestive and absorption functions) and liver qi. In terms of stomach diseases, they are mainly related to diet, emotion and fatigue, resulting in food injury to the spleen and stomach (by “spleen and stomach”, TCM refers to the organs that perform digestion and absorption functions), liver qi offending the stomach, and fatigue injury to the spleen and stomach. In the treatment of stomach diseases, TCM believes that the key is to “balance”, not only to “lose excess” but also to “make up for deficiencies”, and to pay attention to maintaining the normal elevation function of the spleen and stomach, and to use drugs in a calm and It is appropriate to use medicines that are calm and light.  The usual maintenance One should pay attention to the regularity of the diet: regular – three meals a day at a relatively fixed time, preferably not more than one hour before and after. Because the movement of the stomach and intestines, the secretion of stomach acid and digestive enzymes are regulated according to the biological clock, not eating on time will lead to gastrointestinal damage and functional disorders.  Quantitative – According to the current diet structure, eight points of fullness is enough, at most nine points of fullness is enough. Overeating is undoubtedly an aggravation for patients with damaged spleen and stomach function, and at the same time should not intentionally reduce the diet, not to mention the breakfast “save” because of late waking up, rush to work and other reasons.  Hot and cold moderate – diet cold easy to hurt the spleen and stomach, so gastric patients try not to eat cold drinks, meals must also be warm as appropriate. In fact, fruit also belongs to the cold things, although the human body needs nutrition, but the amount should not be more, the best microwave oven in winter to add warm then. On the other hand, boiling hot food is also easy to burn the esophagus and stomach, the same should be avoided.  Avoid irritating foods – avoid smoking, alcohol and coarse, hard, spicy and other irritating foods, but also be careful with drugs that can damage the gastric mucosa, such as aspirin. The so-called “hairy things” such as seafood, chili peppers, pepper, mutton, dog meat, garlic, bamboo shoots, river shrimp, river crab, etc., actually refers to the irritating food.  Second, pay attention to emotional regulation: try to avoid impatience and irritability or sullen and other bad emotions, great joy, great sadness, sadness, panic, etc. is also not desirable. Special emphasis should be placed on not being in a state of tension and stress for a long time, which is important for white-collar workers, because their work is often fast-paced and stressful.  The seven emotions are innate to the emotional experience, it is impossible to really avoid, but the bad emotions can still be controlled. Just think about the same thing, why some people have difficulty controlling their emotions, and some people can be light-hearted, you can understand. The key is to set the right goals in life, hold a positive attitude towards life, and improve their state of mind.  Three should pay attention to the regularity of life: should be regular rest, work and rest, appropriate exercise.  Generally speaking, try not to go to bed more than 11 p.m., because the son (11 p.m. to 1 p.m.) is the time of the day when yin is at its peak, long-term late sleep will produce greater harm to the human body. At the same time, patients with chronic stomach disease often have the performance of spleen and stomach gas deficiency, such as tiredness and weakness, loss of appetite, etc., should pay attention to timely rest, should not be overworked.  With regard to exercise, many people think they have a poor constitution and need a lot of exercise to do so, but in fact this also varies from person to person. For patients with symptoms of deficiency, it is no longer suitable for intense, confrontational exercise, should be appropriate to walk, gymnastics, taijiquan and other slow movement according to their own situation. When exercising, the body should be slightly sweaty.
