She developed abdominal discomfort six months ago, mainly with stomachache. The main symptoms are: paroxysmal dull pain, accompanied by bloating and belching. Especially after meals, I occasionally have symptoms such as acid reflux and heartburn. Since the onset, Ms. Li has felt that she has a bad appetite, poor spirit and poor sleep.
After each attack, she will take omeprazole, motilium and other drugs to treat stomach diseases to relieve symptoms. However, just three days ago, the symptoms of this stomach upset suddenly worsened. In order to seek further treatment, Ms. Li decided to go to the hospital for systematic treatment. After gastroscopy, it was diagnosed as gastric polyp and chronic non-atrophic gastritis.
In daily life, busy work and irregular diet have brought great challenges to our stomachs, and over time our stomachs have also deteriorated. At present, the vast majority of young people in our country suffer from stomach diseases to some extent, and even some people are deeply troubled by stomach diseases, often unable to work and live normally because of stomach diseases.
In fact, the frequent occurrence of stomach diseases is not only related to our daily eating habits, but also related to the fact that many people do not pay attention to stomach diseases. Many people don't take stomach trouble seriously. They always take some stomach medicine when they feel uncomfortable.
When the discomfort in the stomach disappears, I won't care anymore. Results Stomach disease always recurred and became more and more serious. If this continues for a long time, it will increase the risk of stomach cancer. Therefore, if you find yourself with stomach trouble, you must change your bad eating habits from your daily life and pay attention to the protection of your stomach.
Recently, it was suggested that eating yam can nourish the stomach, which was supported by many people. So, can eating yam really nourish the stomach? How to eat is the best way to eat? Next, let's take a look.
Chinese medicine believes that yam is flat and sweet, and has the effects of strengthening the spleen and nourishing the stomach, tonifying the lungs and tonifying the kidney. Can be used for treating chronic diarrhea due to spleen deficiency, chronic enteritis, lung deficiency, chronic gastritis, diabetes, etc. From the perspective of modern health, eating yam in moderation at ordinary times can not only supplement nutrition for our body, but also achieve the effect of strengthening the spleen and nourishing the stomach.
However, some people don't like yam very much, mainly because the sticky juice on yam makes people feel uncomfortable. But it is this kind of juice that can nourish the stomach of people with unhealthy stomach.
This is because the main component of this layer of juice is yam polysaccharide, which can play a very good role in nourishing the stomach. China Journal of Modern Distance Education of Traditional Chinese Medicine has mentioned that yam polysaccharide can restore vasoactive intestinal peptide, motilin and somatostatin, thus regulating gastrointestinal motility, promoting normal contraction and improving gastrointestinal function.
For patients with gastric diseases, one of the most important functions of yam is to repair the damaged gastric mucosa.
In addition, yam is rich in natural nutrients such as starch and polyphenol oxidase. Compared with ordinary starch contained in food, it contains smaller starch particles and smaller pores on the surface, which is more helpful for amylase to enter and digest. Therefore, people with gastrointestinal diseases do not have to worry about stimulating the stomach and increasing the burden on the stomach.
Although yam has many benefits, we also encourage everyone to eat more yam at ordinary times, but the nutritional value brought by different yam practices is quite different. For example, frying is not as nutritious as stewing. Then, if you want to achieve the effect of nourishing the stomach through yam, what should you do and how to eat it?
For yam, the highest nutritional value is to steam yam directly in the pot, which can minimize the loss of nutrition and ensure that the nutrition in yam will not be destroyed. The yam made in this way can not only supplement good nutrition for our body, but also improve our immunity. In addition, steamed yam can also promote gastrointestinal digestion and is a good product for nourishing the stomach.
In addition to direct steaming, you can ensure that the nutrition of yam is not lost, and you can also make yam into yam porridge to help strengthen the spleen and nourish the stomach. On the one hand, yam can strengthen the spleen and stomach and nourish the lungs and kidneys, on the other hand, millet and rice are also beneficial to the health of the stomach. The combination of the two can alleviate the problems of spleen and stomach and indigestion, and achieve the dual effect of nourishing the stomach.
Besides, we can also stew yam with red dates and pumpkins. For people with weak spleen and stomach, eating yam and red dates together can supplement the middle energizer and strengthen the spleen and stomach. Eat with pumpkin, the pectin contained in pumpkin can protect our gastric mucosa from damage, and at the same time accelerate intestinal peristalsis to nourish the spleen and stomach.
However, the specific cooking situation should be done according to your own preferences. If you want to be really nutritious and good for your health, these two methods may be of great help to you.
Although yam has a series of benefits, such as nourishing yin and moistening lung, strengthening body and protecting cardiovascular health, everyone is a unique individual and everyone's physique is different. Some people eat yam, which is good for their health, but some people are not suitable for eating yam. The following categories of people are best avoided.
1, hyperglycemia population
According to relevant data, the number of diabetic patients in China is as high as 65.438+0.4 billion. Although diabetes is very common in our lives, people still don't know enough about it. In fact, diabetes itself is not terrible, but a series of complications caused by elevated blood sugar.
There are many factors that affect blood sugar, among which diet is one of the main factors. The wrong diet will affect the secretion of insulin, and then affect the fluctuation of blood sugar. Therefore, for people with high blood sugar, more attention should be paid to their daily diet. Although yam has many benefits, they should eat less.
Yam contains mucin, which has the function of lowering blood sugar, but the starch content is still high, so frequent consumption will inevitably lead to symptoms of elevated blood sugar. Therefore, in order to maintain the stability of blood sugar in the body, people with high blood sugar still eat less or do not eat yam.
2. People with constipation
Constipation is not a serious disease, but if it persists for a long time and is not relieved, it will have an impact on the body. Therefore, such people should also pay attention to their usual diet.
Although yam is rich in amylase, polyphenol oxidase and other substances, moderate consumption is beneficial to digestion and absorption of the stomach. But at the same time, yam contains a lot of starch, which may lead to bloating and affect the peristalsis of the stomach during digestion. Moreover, the dietary fiber in yam has astringent and antidiarrheal effects. People with constipation will aggravate constipation if they eat too much.
Therefore, friends with constipation should try to stay away from yam during constipation.
3. People with high levels of sex hormones
Whatever it is, only the right one is the best. Too much or too little will have a certain impact on our body, such as sex hormones.
Insufficient sex hormones in the body will affect the development of the body, but if it is too sufficient, it will cause some diseases. For women, excessive sex hormones are easy to cause breast lesions, while for men, prostate lesions will occur.
Yam saponin contained in yam may aggravate the symptoms of such people. Because this substance can synthesize hormones in the body after entering the human body, and then increase male hormones and female estrogens in men. With the increase of hormones, the above clinical manifestations may be more obvious. Therefore, people with hormonal and endocrine disorders should also reduce the intake of yam.
4. Allergic people
Although yam is a common food on our table, many people are allergic to it. Many people say that they will feel itchy and red after touching yam. Why is this?
First, some people may be allergic to saponin. Yam is rich in saponins, which can cause allergic reaction to human skin and quickly cause skin redness, itching and other symptoms.
Secondly, some people may be allergic to phytoalkaloids. Yam mucus contains a lot of plant alkaloids, which is also very irritating to human skin. People with sensitive skin will have allergic problems when they come into contact with plant alkaloids.
In addition to paying attention to the above people who are not suitable for eating yam or eat less yam, we should also pay attention to the collocation of various ingredients when eating yam. Eating some foods together with yam will not only reduce the nutritional value of yam, but even lead to food poisoning. So, what foods can't be matched or are not recommended for yam?
Yam should not be eaten with seafood such as fish and shrimp. General seafood not only contains calcium, iron, iodine and other substances, but also contains rich protein. There is tannin in yam. When protein meets it, it will produce tannin, which will increase the absorption of toxins in the intestine, and then cause abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and other adverse symptoms.
Secondly, yam can't be eaten with pig liver. Because pig liver is rich in trace elements such as iron, copper and zinc, and yam is rich in vitamin C, when vitamin C meets metal ions, it may accelerate the oxidation rate, resulting in its inability to be absorbed by the human body.
In addition, yam can't be eaten with carrots and cucumbers. When the rich vitamin C content in yam meets the vitamin C decomposing enzyme contained in carrot and cucumber, the vitamin C in yam will be decomposed and destroyed, which reduces the nutritional value of yam.
In short, the stomach is a very fragile organ of the human body. Once people overeat or eat some spicy food for a long time, it is easy to cause gastrointestinal injuries. Yam is a common health food in life, which not only has a good effect of nourishing the stomach and strengthening the spleen, but also has a series of benefits such as nourishing the body, delaying aging and beauty beauty. Therefore, except for people who are not suitable for eating yam, eating more yam is of great benefit to our health.
