How to prevent infectious gastroenteritis?

Generally speaking, summer is a season with a relatively high incidence of infectious gastroenteritis. The main reason is that when the weather is hot, many patients tend to overeat, which can easily lead to gastroenteritis, resulting in a series of abdominal pain and diarrhea. Therefore, it is very important to prevent infectious gastroenteritis. So, how should infectious gastroenteritis be prevented?

It is advisable to eat more beans. As we all know, mung beans have the effect of clearing away heat and relieving summer heat. Beans are rich in protein, and contain unsaturated fatty acids and various vitamins. Compared with the saturated fatty acids contained in meat, unsaturated fatty acids are more beneficial to the human body. In addition, bean sprouts are also good vegetables. Bean sprouts can be eaten as a vegetable or made into soup. Eating more beans in summer can effectively relieve the impact of the humid and stuffy weather in summer on the human body.

2. Eat more kimchi. Kimchi is made from cabbage, purple cabbage or cauliflower and other seasonings. It is pickled and fermented under the action of lactic acid bacteria. Kimchi tastes salty and sour, has a crispy texture, bright color, and a fragrant aroma. It has the effects of stimulating the appetite, refreshing the mind, sobering up and removing greasiness. It not only increases appetite and aids digestion, but also promotes the body's absorption of iron.

Sauerkraut fermentation is the result of lactobacillus breaking down sugars in cabbage to produce lactic acid. Lactic acid is an organic acid that can increase appetite and promote digestion after being absorbed by the human body. At the same time, when the cabbage becomes sour, the nutrients it contains are not easily lost. In addition, kimchi tastes sour and has the effect of nourishing yin and promoting body fluid, which is quite suitable for the damage of yin in summer.

Third, you should eat more mustard. In summer, the heat and humidity are more severe. Various cold dishes, cold noodles or cold skin can easily damage the spleen and stomach, causing moisture to remain in the spleen and stomach. In addition, various cold drinks and fruits, if eaten too much, will cause dampness and phlegm, affecting digestion.

Mustard is called white mustard seed in traditional Chinese medicine, and it has the effect of warming and resolving phlegm and dampness. If you add some mustard when mixing cold dishes, cold noodles or cold skin, it can not only add seasoning, but also warm the spleen and stomach, aid digestion, and remove dampness and phlegm. In addition, people who often eat mustard have an experience that after eating mustard, a spicy taste rushes straight to the head and face. Although it is a bit uncomfortable, it can make the mind clear afterwards. So people might as well eat more mustard in summer. 1. Avoid eating too much raw and cold food. In summer, as the temperature rises, the yang energy of nature becomes increasingly vigorous, and the humidity of nature increases accordingly.

Correspondingly, the moisture in the human body will also increase accordingly. Therefore, people often have poor appetite and always like to eat something cool and refreshing. Therefore, various cold drinks, cold foods and cold dishes became popular. Although cold food is refreshing, overeating will damage the spleen and stomach yang energy, increase dampness in the body, and lead to worse appetite. It is also easy to experience symptoms such as abdominal distension and loose stools.

Second, avoid eating and drinking too much. When the weather is hot, the spleen and stomach become damp, which traps the spleen and stomach and causes loss of appetite. Excessive sweating damages the Qi and Yin, so the gastrointestinal digestive function is significantly reduced. Because the weather is hot, people like to have midnight snacks while cooling off, which causes them to eat and drink more without realizing it. The gastrointestinal function is already declining, and if you eat too much and drink too much, the gastrointestinal burden will be even heavier, which can easily lead to gastrointestinal dysfunction. Third, avoid eating too much spicy food. Spicy food can eliminate dampness and promote ventilation, thus increasing appetite.

Through the introduction above, I believe everyone has a detailed understanding of the prevention measures for infectious gastroenteritis. Patients must pay more attention to it in their daily lives and not always go to crowded places. Generally, places with a large number of people are prone to infectious gastroenteritis, so patients must pay attention to this point.
