The current pace of society is very fast, and many of Hua Zi's friends are often too busy to attend to meals, so their stomachs have fallen into a "root cause" and they always feel uncomfortable from time to time. A friend asked Huazi what to do if he always has stomach pain? Huazi said that stomach diseases focus on "treating three points and nourishing seven points". Gastric medicine is used to treat symptoms but not the root cause. If you want to treat the disease, you need to take good care of yourself. If my friend has any idea, can he only drink Congee every day? Hua Zi said to his friend, who said that drinking Congee can nourish the stomach?

1 Drinking Congee for a long time cannot nourish the stomach

In everyone's impression, Congee or noodles that are cruelly cooked are the most suitable food for patients, especially those with stomach diseases. Others add pumpkin, baking soda, ginger and other substances to Congee to increase the effect of nourishing the stomach. In fact, short-term Congee is OK, but long-term Congee is not good for the stomach, but it will degrade the function of the stomach.

After rice porridge or noodles are boiled for a long time, the starch in rice and noodles will become "gelatinized", which is more suitable for human body to absorb by splitting from long chain sugar to short chain sugar. From this perspective, porridge will not increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract. Therefore, people suffering from acute gastroenteritis, acute attack of gastric ulcer, and gastrointestinal surgery, because their gastrointestinal function is damaged, drinking Congee in a short period of time is beneficial to the recovery of gastrointestinal function.

But if you drink Congee for a long time, you will have problems, because the organs of the human body are "used in and out". For example, when someone's leg is injured and unable to walk, and they stay in bed for a long time, their leg muscles will atrophy and their strength will decrease. The human stomach is a "muscle capsule". Drinking Congee for a long time will make the stomach not work so hard, and will make the function of the stomach slowly degenerate.

And when drinking Congee, there is no need to chew through the mouth. The starch in Congee cannot be fully mixed with salivary amylase, which will increase the burden of the pancreas. The nutrients in Congee are also relatively simple. If you drink Congee for a long time, you are prone to malnutrition. Therefore, short-term drinking Congee will be beneficial to digestion, but it cannot nourish the stomach. Long term drinking Congee, on the contrary, will degrade the stomach function.

2 What is the method of nourishing the stomach

Nourishing the stomach means not to "toss" the stomach The human stomach has a strong ability to recover, as long as we don't constantly toss and turn it around, stomach diseases will naturally slowly recover. Many people continue to have unhealthy eating habits such as not eating on time, overeating, drinking heavily, drinking a lot of coffee, strong tea, sweets, eating a lot of meat, pickled food, and so on while shouting about their stomach discomfort. For such people, Huazi has to say that there is no medicine that can cure their stomach problems.

After reading the above paragraph, everyone will understand,Developing good dietary habits is the best way to nourish the stomach In terms of food selection, there are no specific foods that can nourish the stomach, just a light diet in daily life. The term 'light diet' in medicine does not refer to vegetarianism. It means not being picky or picky about food, and combining meat and vegetables to ensure a balanced intake of sugar, fat, protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals in the diet. The temperature of the food should be appropriate, and do not eat food that is too hot or too cold.

It is recommended to eat half a kilogram of fruits and one kilogram of vegetables every day. The vitamin C contained in fruits can neutralize the nitrosamines produced by food in the stomach, reducing the incidence of gastric cancer. The cellulose in vegetables can help smooth bowel movements and reduce the occurrence of colon cancer. Try to quit smoking and alcohol as much as possible. When the stomach is not well fed, salty, sweet, sour, spicy and other irritant foods should also be avoided to minimize direct irritation to gastric mucosa.

When nourishing the stomach, it is important to maintain an optimistic mindset. Because the number of nerve fibers in the digestive system is second only to the brain, it belongs to an "emotional organ". When people are in emotions such as anger, nervousness, fear, and depression, they may become "lost in thought" and affect gastrointestinal function. So learning to control one's negative emotions and maintain a happy mood can also have a nourishing effect on the stomach.

3 Find the cause and treat it

Most people's stomach problems are caused by irregular lifestyles and emotional issues, so self-regulation can effectively alleviate them. But there are also some people who have specific causes of stomach diseases, such as Helicobacter pylori infection, gastrointestinal irritation caused by taking certain drugs, bile reflux, or gastric neurosis. So people with stomach problems should first go to the hospital to find their cause and receive treatment.

If it is Helicobacter pylori infection, radical treatment can be carried out. If it is gastric irritation caused by long-term medication, you can find a doctor to change the medication, or apply antacids to protect the gastric mucosa. If the stomach disease is caused by neurosis, psychological counseling treatment is necessary to produce better results. For people with severe ulcers, mucosal protectors and acid suppressants can also be used to promote ulcer healing. But specific medication needs to be applied under the guidance of a doctor.

So, people with stomach problems should first go to the hospital to find the cause and receive treatment. For most people who have stomach problems due to irregular diet, stop foolishly drinking Congee all the time. Improving your lifestyle is the right way to nourish your stomach.
