How to cure stomach problems

Nowadays, many young people suffer from stomach problems. Some of them are caused by irregular meals at school, some are caused by being picky eaters and cannot get used to eating outside food, and some are caused by irregular diet due to work pressure. Everyone has different symptoms of stomach disease. Some people say they have stomach disease but are not sure what kind of stomach disease they have. Let me tell you how to cure stomach problems.

1. How to treat stomach problems?

1. Eat warm and soft food

The diet of patients with stomach problems should be warm, soft, light, vegetarian and fresh. They should eat at regular times and in regular amounts, eat small meals frequently, and avoid being too hungry or too full.

Pay attention to chewing slowly and thoroughly chewing food to make the food as "fine" as possible to reduce the workload of the stomach. The more times you chew, the more saliva will be secreted, which has a protective effect on the gastric mucosa.

Avoid irregular meals and overeating. Do not eat food that is too cold, too hot, too hard, too spicy, or too sticky. The temperature of the food should be neither too hot nor too cold. Food that is too hot or too cold will irritate the gastric mucosa and cause stomach problems after entering the stomach.

Not eating midnight snacks and eating before going to bed will cause gastric acid secretion, and the calories produced will easily accumulate, which is not good for the stomach or the human body.

Do not eat moldy food

Do not eat moldy or spoiled rice, peanut kernels, corn, as well as spoiled meat, fish, and shellfish. At the same time, eat less bacon, pickled fish, etc. to avoid carcinogens in food.

Pay attention to oral hygiene. After being acted upon by oral bacteria and their enzymes, the nitrate in the saliva is reduced to nitrite, which is carcinogenic. Therefore, you should rinse your mouth after meals.

2. Don’t walk too fast after a meal

As the saying goes, "Take a hundred steps after a meal, and you will live to be ninety-nine." But "after a meal" does not mean just after a meal. You should start walking 20-30 minutes after a meal, which is beneficial to stomach digestion.

It is best for patients with stomach problems to take medicine after meals to prevent irritation of the gastric mucosa and worsening of the condition.

The best time to drink water is in the morning when you wake up on an empty stomach and one hour before each meal. Drinking water immediately after a meal will dilute the gastric juice, and soaking rice in soup will also affect the digestion of food. Do not drink milk on an empty stomach at night and try to drink less carbonated drinks.

3. What should I eat for stomach problems?

1) Light porridge

Patients with stomach problems should mainly eat a light diet. In daily life, they can eat more light porridge, which is helpful for regulating the stomach and intestines, such as millet porridge, yam porridge, corn porridge, etc. However, it should be noted that they should try to avoid some porridge that irritates the stomach and intestines, and avoid porridge that is too salty.

2) Pumpkin

Patients with stomach problems can eat more pumpkin. They can stir-fry the pumpkin or cook it with rice into porridge. Pumpkin is rich in pectin and vitamins. Pectin can excrete excess toxins from the body and play a detoxifying role. Pumpkin can protect the gastric mucosa, help promote gastrointestinal motility and digestion, and also has the effect of eliminating carcinogens, so it is very suitable for patients with stomach problems.

3) Warm fruits

What to eat for stomach problems? Patients with stomach problems can eat more warm fruits, which can supplement the nutrients needed by patients with stomach problems and will not cause irritation to the stomach. For example, pomegranates, cherries and other fruits can be eaten more, but it should be noted that hot and cold fruits should be avoided as much as possible to avoid stomach discomfort.

4) Spinach

Patients with stomach problems can eat more spinach. Spinach is rich in nutrients and can effectively relieve stomach symptoms. However, it should be noted that the spinach should be cooked softer and lighter to help promote stomach digestion.

The above are four types of food suitable for patients with stomach problems. Patients with stomach problems need to pay attention to cooking the food they eat as soft as possible, which will help the stomach absorb and promote gastrointestinal motility.
