Do people with fast digestion tend to gain weight easily?

The fatness or thinness of the human body is related to the digestive system. If a person's digestive system is not functioning very well, it is very easy to gain weight. In fact, there are many reasons for obesity, and it is not necessarily due to the digestive system. It may also be closely related to diet. If you want to lose weight, you must control your diet, develop good living habits, and eat less sweets and greasy foods.

What to do if you have indigestion after a meal

Eat staple food first

Staple foods are a kind of "natural digestive medicine". Song Xin, a nutritionist at Beijing Chaoyang Hospital, explained that staple foods such as rice and noodles are carbohydrates, which are easy to digest and make people feel full. Eating the staple food first can avoid eating too much. It is also beneficial to stimulate the saliva to secrete amylase to digest food, thereby stimulating the secretion of gastric acid and enhancing the stomach's digestive ability. Whole grains are the first choice for staple food. They are rich in fiber, can promote gastrointestinal motility, and can also excrete excess fat from the body.

Bend down three times

Bend over slowly 90 degrees three times after each meal, each time for 1 to 2 minutes. This can make the stomach tilt forward, allowing food to enter the gastric antrum, promote emptying, and speed up digestion. It should be noted that people with gastroesophageal reflux disease and reflux esophagitis should not use this method.

Rubbing your belly while walking

“Take a hundred steps after a meal, and you will live to be ninety-nine.” Taking a 20-30 minute walk after a meal every day and rubbing your stomach while walking can promote gastrointestinal blood circulation and gastric juice secretion, enhance gastrointestinal digestive function, and effectively relieve the symptoms of indigestion.

When rubbing the belly, put five fingers together, use the navel as the center, and rotate the palms of your hands to massage the abdomen. Massage one circle with each step, alternating between forward and reverse directions. It is best when the belly becomes red and feels warm. When rubbing your belly, use moderate force and try to wear a cotton buttonless top to prevent buttons from interfering with massage or generating static electricity.

What should I do if I digest too quickly and cannot absorb?

Some people have a physique that is easy to lose weight, and they can eat a lot without gaining weight. If you eat a lot but do not gain weight and you are worried that you may be sick, you can do an absorption function test (especially if you have diarrhea). The simplest one is routine stool test + occult blood test + Sudan III. If necessary, you should visit the gastroenterology department for further physical examination and testing. If there is no problem with absorption, if you want to gain weight, it is recommended to increase energy intake moderately and do some exercise to avoid just gaining fat. What we care about is the increase in muscle content, not just the increase in weight and fat content.

This situation may also be caused by weak spleen and stomach, which is considered a case of gastrointestinal dysfunction in Western medicine. It is also recommended to do a thyroid function test to rule out the possibility of diarrhea caused by hyperthyroidism. You can also try taking Bupi Yichang Pills or Renshen Jianpi Pills orally for treatment. After recovery, take Xiangsha Yangwei Pills and Lactobacillus Tablets for a period of time, and the diet should be light.

Suggestions: You can also supplement intestinal probiotics. Usually, you should keep a stable mentality and get enough sleep. Eat easily digestible food, chew slowly, avoid overly cold, overheated and rough food, avoid raw, cold, hard, spicy, sour, sweet and stimulating food, and avoid smoking and drinking. Do not drink carbonated drinks, coffee, strong tea, etc. Avoid catching cold and getting hot. Eat less fat, high-sugar, spicy, fried foods, and stimulating drinks such as liquor and coffee, and eat more fiber foods. Drink more water.
