For this purpose, the editor has summarized the following content based on the information searched. Let’s read it together and learn about it.

1. Eat small meals frequently. Food should be eaten at regular times and in regular amounts. Do not overeat or consume spicy or cold foods. Ensure that each meal is nutritionally balanced and reduce the irritation of gastric acid to the gastric mucosa. You can eat until you are 60% to 70% full at each meal, and you can have a snack in moderation in the morning and afternoon. Patients with stomach problems should eat easily digestible soft foods, such as milk, eggs, fish, lean meat, etc., and eat more fresh vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins. It should be noted that fruits cannot be eaten directly from the refrigerator. It is best to eat them at room temperature or steam them.

2. Keep warm. Pay special attention to keeping your stomach and abdomen warm. You can wear underwear with good thermal insulation effect to prevent cold air from invading. It is best to soak your feet in hot water before going to bed, which can also warm the stomach. In places with low temperatures, you can prepare a portable hot water bottle to warm your stomach. At home, you need to wear socks and it is best not to go barefoot.

3. Emotionally stable. Emotional changes often lead to physical discomfort, and stomach problems are one of the most typical manifestations. People who usually have poor stomachs should not be overly sad or overly happy, as this can easily cause a recurrence of stomach problems. Normally, you should keep your emotions stable and in a good mood. When you are nervous, you can take more deep breaths or divert your attention to try to free yourself from negative emotions.
