Five ways to prevent stomach problems in autumn: strengthen exercise and prevent cold

During the cool autumn season, some people who suffer from stomach problems often suffer from relapses, and in severe cases, it may cause gastric bleeding and gastric perforation. This is caused by large changes in meteorological elements such as temperature, humidity, and airflow. After the beginning of autumn, especially in late autumn, cold air from the north continues to invade the south. When the human body is stimulated by the cold air, the chemical component histamine in the blood increases, gastric acid secretion increases significantly, and the gastrointestinal tract undergoes spasmodic contraction. Therefore, resistance and adaptability are reduced. Therefore, we need to prevent the recurrence of stomach problems after the weather turns cold. So how should we nourish the stomach in autumn? Let’s find out with the editor below.

1. Prevent the abdomen from getting cold

As the saying goes, "One autumn rain brings one cold day; ten autumn rains require you to wear cotton." You should add clothes as the climate changes and cover yourself with a quilt when you sleep at night to prevent your abdomen from catching a cold and causing a recurrence of stomach problems.

2. Strengthen physical exercise

The golden autumn season is a great time for physical exercise. Taking part in physical exercise is beneficial to improving gastrointestinal blood circulation, enhancing human fitness, improving the ability to adapt to climate change, and reducing the chance of disease.

3. Pay attention to diet

The diet of patients with stomach problems should be warm, soft and light. They should eat small meals frequently and in fixed amounts so that there is always food in the stomach to neutralize stomach acid. At the same time, you should also pay attention to chewing slowly when eating to facilitate digestion and absorption and reduce the burden on the gastrointestinal tract.

4. Pay attention to mental health

People should always maintain a cheerful spirit, optimistic mood, and mental health, and avoid the stimulation of negative factors such as anxiety, fear, tension, and sadness.

5. Avoid drug stimulation

Clinical practice has shown that the stimulation of certain Chinese and Western medicines can cause the ulcer surface to expand and aggravate the condition. Therefore, drugs that are highly irritating to the gastric mucosa, such as prednisone, dexamethasone, aspirin, phenylbutazone, indomethacin, siler, and clematis should be avoided. If you need to take these medicines due to illness, you should take them after meals, or take them at the same time with medicines for treating stomach problems, such as ranitidine, cimetidine, etc.
