Prevent the stomach from acting up after the holidays
Old gastric patients self-care, it is recommended to “eat radish late and eat ginger early”; carrying Helicobacter pylori gastric patients, can eat more garlic for sterilization. How to maintain the stomach after the holiday? As the saying goes, disease enters through the mouth, the key to self-adjustment also lies in the diet. For people who like to eat moon cakes, Prof. Zhang Cunjun of Tai Run Tang Chinese Medicine Center suggests drinking more black tea and spleen-boosting tonics after the holidays, which can clear the excess of “nutrition”.
For the old stomach patients, Shenzhen Second People’s Hospital, the director of the Center for Treatment of Disease, Dr. Deng Xuguang presented a few jingles: eat radish late and eat ginger early, go to bed with radish and go to bed with ginger, without the prescription of a doctor.

If you have a hot body, you can eat more barley to strengthen your spleen and remove dampness; if you have a cold body, you can eat more garlic, just put it in when you stir-fry, and eat it half-cooked. Garlic can sterilize, especially effective against H. pylori.
Get rid of misconceptions
Stomach disease is not contagious
Gastric patients who are infected with H. pylori are likely to infect others through saliva or droplets, especially family and friends who eat at the same table, and it is recommended to temporarily implement a meal-sharing system until cured.
Many people believe that stomach disease is not an infectious disease. Therefore, most people do not take precautions to prevent the spread of stomach diseases if a family member has one. However, doctors point out that some stomach diseases are contagious, such as those carrying Helicobacter pylori.
”Helicobacter pylori is a spiral-shaped, micro-anaerobic bacteria, they are parasitic in the stomach pylorus, gastric sinus and other nearby, the secretion of harmful toxins can damage the gastric mucosa, leading to gastric mucosa atrophy or even malignant lesions.” Qiao Baoming, director of the Department of Internal Medicine at Shenzhen Boai Hospital, pointed out that when eating vegetables or fruits, remember to sterilize and wash or peel them, and if there are patients at home who are infected with gastric disease due to H. pylori, it is recommended to temporarily implement a meal-sharing system until cured. For babies who are new to eating or for young children who are particularly difficult to “serve” when eating, it is best for parents not to chew food and feed them.
Combination of Chinese and Western medicine
Preventing gastric disease from deteriorating into stomach cancer
Gastric disease is a psychosomatic disease, so in addition to quitting bad habits and maintaining a regular healthy diet, it is also important to cultivate a happy mood and pay attention to the combination of work and rest. In many people’s eyes, gastric disease is common and not scary, but once it deteriorates into gastric cancer, it will be a problem. According to Deng Xuguang, patients with H. pylori carrying gastric disease are 2-3 times more likely to become cancerous than those who do not carry the bacteria, or even 4-5 times.
This is a phenomenon of concern. So, how to prevent the deterioration of gastric disease into gastric cancer?
It is understood that early gastric cancer manifests similar to the symptoms of ulcer disease or gastritis, such as acid reflux, nausea, anorexia, and with the worsening of pain, weight will further decrease, and there are symptoms such as wasting and anemia. Here, Qiao Baoming suggests that in case of stomach pain, stomach area discomfort or digestive discomfort, one should promptly go to the hospital for gastroscopy, barium permeation, CT, ultrasound and laboratory tests such as exfoliated cells and fecal occult blood to figure out the physical condition.
Deng Xuguang firstly analyzed the causes of gastric diseases from the perspective of Chinese medicine, which include external evil offending the stomach, diet injury to the stomach, emotional and mental disorders, and spleen deficiency and dampness obstruction. Secondly, in response to these causes, the analysis of preventive measures: First, pay attention to warmth, the current cool autumn, should add more clothes, less cold food such as watermelon, bitter melon, cold vegetables, etc., and try not to blow air conditioning at night; Second, quit bad habits such as eating barbecue, eating late night, smoking, drinking strong tea and coffee, etc., eat less or try not to eat moldy, smoked food, can be appropriate to drink light green tea, for cancer prevention. Third, keep a happy mood, pay attention to the combination of work and rest, because overwork will also hurt the stomach, especially white-collar workers who usually have less exercise, remember to overwork.
