What should we do about bloating and indigestion? The following is a detailed introduction so that when such problems arise, we will know what to do and what is the best way to do it, and it will not harm our health. This allows physical problems to be solved quickly.

Indigestion is often manifested as abdominal pain or discomfort after meals, often accompanied by nausea, belching, hiccups, bloating, etc. Among them, belching, abdominal distension, abdominal pain, excessive flatulence, and hiccups are mostly considered to be gastrointestinal flatulence. The gas in the gastrointestinal tract is discharged through the mouth as belching and through the anus as flatus. Some of it can be absorbed by the intestinal wall. A normal adult retains a small amount of gas, about 100ml to 150ml, in the gastrointestinal tract every day. When the amount of gas increases, there will be a feeling of bloating. Long-term indigestion can also lead to malnutrition, decreased immune function, etc. Indigestion is only a clinical manifestation and needs to be differentiated from early gastric cancer, pancreatic, gallbladder, and liver diseases. Therefore, patients with indigestion should seek medical attention as soon as possible.

There are many causes of indigestion, including chronic inflammation of the stomach and duodenum, which causes dysfunction of the normal peristalsis of the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum. It can be caused by the patient's mental unhappiness, long-term depression, or sudden and severe stimulation.

Foods to improve indigestion:

1. Barley and barley malt contain vitamins A, B, E and amylase, maltose, glucose, invertase, allantoin, protease, fat and minerals. Allantoin in barley can promote the healing of gastrointestinal ulcers.

2. Yogurt. In addition to containing all the nutrients in milk, yogurt’s most prominent feature is that it is rich in lactic acid, which can break down the lactose in milk into lactic acid.

For people who lack lactic acid enzyme in the gastrointestinal tract or who easily suffer from diarrhea after drinking fresh milk, they can drink yogurt instead. Lactic acid can inhibit the growth of mold in the body and prevent dysbacteriosis caused by the use of antibiotics. Lactic acid can also prevent the accumulation of toxins produced by the decomposition of protein by putrefactive bacteria, thus having an anti-cancer effect. Yogurt has a mild laxative effect and can prevent constipation in the elderly.

3. Apple. Apple can both stop diarrhea and promote bowel movements. The tannic acid, organic alkali and other substances contained in it have astringent effects, and the pectin contained can absorb toxins. For simple mild diarrhea, eating apples alone can stop diarrhea. The cellulose in apples can stimulate intestinal peristalsis and accelerate defecation, so it also has a laxative effect.

Through the above explanations, we have some understanding of what to do about bloating and indigestion. During the holidays, we should eat in moderation, especially eat less greasy food. This will be very helpful for the body's nutritional balance and will not gain weight after the New Year. And you also need to do proper exercise, which will help the body digest food and will be helpful to all aspects of the body.
