Eight key times to nourish the stomach

The stomach is an important organ in the human body. All nutrients must be processed by it before they can be used by the body. But many people don't treat it well enough. Irregular diet, smoking, etc. can cause great damage to the stomach. To this end, we invited nutrition and gastroenterology experts to develop a 24-hour stomach protection plan for everyone.

7:00 Drink a glass of warm water in the morning.

Drinking half a cup to a cup of warm water after washing up in the morning can replenish lost water, promote gastrointestinal motility, and help the gastrointestinal tract prepare for breakfast.

8:00 The best time for breakfast.

It is best to have breakfast one hour after waking up and four hours between it and lunch. Skipping breakfast for a long time can easily lead to nutritional imbalance and increase the risk of gallstones.

12:00 Don’t take a nap right after lunch.

Try to give yourself plenty of time for lunch and don't rush into work after eating. It is best to stay quiet for a while after eating to ensure that a large amount of blood flows to the gastrointestinal tract so that it can function normally. In addition, it is not advisable to take a nap immediately after lunch. It is best to rest for a while before going to sleep.

14:00 A cigarette after dinner means you will see the gods early.

"Smoking causes blood vessels to constrict, and the stomach's ability to protect itself becomes worse. At the same time, toxins such as nicotine and nicotine also enter the saliva, which can lead to gastric ulcers."

16:00 A snack is the best way to protect your stomach.

If you feel hungry in the afternoon, you can have some snacks and fruits. Long-term fasting can easily lead to gastric ulcers and gastrointestinal dysfunction.

19:00 Stand for half an hour after dinner .

People with gastroesophageal reflux should try not to lie down or sit down after a meal, as this will cause stomach acid to reflux into the esophagus and aggravate the symptoms. It is best to stand for half an hour after a meal, but do not do strenuous exercise, otherwise it is easy to cause indigestion.

20:00 Don’t be a couch potato for 1 hour after a meal.

This is the time when fat is most likely to accumulate. Try not to sit in front of the TV like a "couch potato". Take a walk or jog instead.

22:00 Try not to eat before going to bed.

Drinking milk before bed is not a good health recipe for everyone. This will stimulate the secretion of gastric acid and bile. People with poor stomach should not eat before going to bed.
