Don't be superstitious in your stomach


In today's society, the fast pace of life, unhealthy eating habits, let our stomach suffer harm, in the "stomach" this matter, many people are particularly superstitious white porridge, soda crackers and other foods, although they have certain benefits, but may also backfire.

White porridge, soup and rice. Many old people say that the stomach is uncomfortable to drink porridge, porridge is easy to digest, can reduce the burden of the stomach. Indeed, many patients with stomach pain and stomach acid in the acute phase of stomach disease after drinking white porridge, the stomach is warm and comfortable.

But this view is not comprehensive, long-term porridge can not nourish the stomach. Porridge and porridge are swallowed without chewing and are not initially digested by salivary amylase in saliva; Excessive water intake dilutes the gastric juices and increases the stomach capacity, which increases the burden on the stomach to a certain extent.

Moreover, drinking porridge for a long time is easy to lead to insufficient nutritional intake. The principle of rice soup is basically the same. Patients with stomach problems can not eat porridge at a meal, you can drink once a day, you can also eat some pasta, each bite of chewing 15 to 20 times, the same can nourish the stomach.

It's a vegetarian diet. Many people think that meat is not digestible, and vegetables and other vegetarian better digestion, so people with a bad stomach can only eat vegetarian. However, meat contains a variety of nutrients not found in plant-based foods, such as high-quality protein, essential fatty acids, iron, zinc, and certain B vitamins.

Gastric mucosa repair and renewal need enough high-quality protein, and long-term vegetarian easy to lead to nutritional imbalance. Therefore, we should eat some lean meat, fish, eggs, milk and other animal foods. People with poor digestion can chop meat, make it soft, change the cooking method, take steaming, stewing and other methods, put less salt, soy sauce, such as minced meat stewed eggs, steamed fish and so on are good.

Milk. The traditional belief is that milk can dilute stomach acid and form a protective film on the surface of the stomach to make people with stomach problems feel comfortable. In life, when there are symptoms such as stomach distension and discomfort, drinking a cup of hot milk can indeed relieve symptoms. But the idea that milk can cure stomach problems is exaggerated.

And studies have shown that milk promotes stomach acid more than it neutralises it. Patients with diseases such as gastric ulcers undergoing antacid treatment should not drink milk for a long time, otherwise it will affect the efficacy. Patients with acute stomach disease are also not recommended to drink milk, so as not to cause discomfort such as bloating. In addition, some people are lactose intolerant, will have diarrhea after drinking milk, it is not suitable to drink milk, you can drink some yogurt, cheese and other substitutes.

A soda cracker. Many people with a bad stomach often use soda crackers to satisfy their hunger, and the gelatinization layer formed after starch baking can neutralize stomach acid and protect the gastric mucosa. Soda crackers, baked steamed bread, etc., are more suitable food for patients with stomach problems, but soda crackers can not be excessive intake.

Some soda crackers on the market have a high fat content, and too much intake will not only increase the burden on the stomach, but also lead to excessive calories. Soda crackers are also high in sodium, which can raise blood pressure and worsen edema. So look at the food ingredient list when buying, buy less sodium and fat, and can not be eaten as a meal.

In addition, garlic, green Onions and so on will be "heartburn", some people think that eating will hurt the stomach. But studies have shown that eating a little of this spicy food can increase the blood flow of the gastric mucosa and have a certain protective effect on the stomach.

The allicin in garlic can also kill Helicobacter pylori, avoid chronic inflammation in the stomach, and then avoid serious diseases such as stomach cancer. Ginger can warm the stomach, stomach upset when drinking a bowl of ginger water can relieve symptoms. However, it is best not to eat raw onion ginger garlic.
