How to preserve health and nourish stomach in traditional Chinese medicine
As the old saying goes, food is the most important thing for people, and eating is an indispensable part of life. Intake of food through the mouth into the esophagus, and then into the digestive tract, stimulate gastric acid secretion, accelerate the digestion process of food. As one of the important organs of the human body, the stomach is the first barrier to digest food and plays a vital role in life and health.

The improvement of living conditions enhances the happiness of life, and the choice of a variety of foods meets people's taste bud needs. But many people lack self-discipline and have not developed good eating habits. They either overeat and have a full meal with an empty stomach, or eat take-away food and high-calorie food for a long time, or often pay attention to the taste of food according to their own preferences and like spicy and irritating food. I don't know that these bad habits have caused serious harm to the stomach.

Many people have experienced gastrointestinal discomfort, and I believe that the feeling is still fresh in everyone's memory, manifested as abdominal pain and diarrhea, nausea and vomiting, sweating, headache and dizziness. Patients with old stomach diseases know that stomach diseases often recur and drugs can only relieve them. The best way is to avoid the stimulating factors of stomach diseases. Today, I will talk to you about how to nourish your stomach correctly.

For various reasons, there are more and more stomach diseases in modern people regardless of gender, age and race. The occurrence of stomach has a certain relationship with the nature of work. Drivers, white-collar workers and doctors are all high-risk groups. When going to the hospital, doctors generally advise patients with stomach diseases to have relevant examinations. Only when the nature of stomach diseases is clear can they be treated accordingly. Gastropathy is a complex disease, which is not as simple as we thought.

We collectively refer to the diseases that occur in the stomach as gastropathy. Common diseases include acute and chronic gastritis, gastric ulcer and severe gastric cancer. Usually manifested as stomach pain, acid reflux, heartburn, abdominal pain and diarrhea, nausea and vomiting, sweating, fever and so on. Sometimes it is a symptom, and sometimes it is accompanied by multiple symptoms. Occasionally, stomach discomfort can be relieved by routine drug treatment. If these typical symptoms appear for a long time, doctors need to make accurate judgments based on the examination data.

There are many factors that cause stomach trouble, which are related to heredity, environment, eating habits, drug allergy, bacterial infection and so on. Regular consumption of indigestible or greasy food will cause indigestion; Overeating, irregular diet, and lack of strict control of food intake and time will all induce stomach problems; Unclean eating habits and Helicobacter pylori infection are the important causes of stomach diseases. Regular intake of cold, overheated, spicy and irritating foods will damage the gastric mucosa and aggravate stomach problems.

In the modern fast-paced life, many people have great work pressure and are in a state of high pressure for a long time, and their stomachs will have a lot of discomfort; Emotional instability, irritability and dryness, disharmony among family members, frequent quarrels and anger lead to gastric congestion, which will induce stomach diseases; Cold weather, cold stomach, frequent consumption of cold drinks or hot and cold food at the same time, will cause gastric dysfunction, aggravate stomach problems.

Lack of exercise not only slows down the peristalsis of the stomach, but also affects the blood supply of the stomach, and the digestive ability of the stomach decreases, which is easy to cause indigestion; Excessive gastric acid secretion will not only stimulate gastric mucosa, but also aggravate gastric inflammation, leading to the emergence or aggravation of gastric ulcer. With the further development of stomach diseases, discomfort will seriously affect the quality of life. If gastric cancer occurs, it will directly threaten life safety. Don't take it lightly.

If you have stomach trouble, you should treat it in time to avoid sequelae. Patients with gastric diseases often have epigastric pain, which is aggravated when they are hungry or before and after eating; Nausea and vomiting are common symptoms of many patients with gastric diseases, some of which are only nausea symptoms, and some are accompanied by vomiting stomach contents; Some patients with gastric diseases will also have symptoms such as acid regurgitation, acid water spitting and burning sensation in the stomach.

Due to stomach discomfort, many patients are unwilling to eat, resulting in loss of appetite. On the one hand, their own discomfort leads to loss of appetite. On the other hand, the symptoms of stomach discomfort will be further aggravated after eating. In order to avoid the symptoms of stomach upset, patients are reluctant to eat. But after a long time, there will be a vicious circle, which is not only not conducive to the recovery of stomach diseases, but also leads to malnutrition and anemia.

Gastropathy is a common disease, which occurs in middle-aged people, young people and even children and needs our attention. Stomach trouble is not a trivial matter. If the treatment cannot be standardized, it is likely to cause more serious harm. Once there are signs of stomach trouble in your life, you must go to the hospital in time to diagnose the nature of stomach trouble. Different stomach diseases have different medication schemes. Take the medicine on time according to the doctor's advice and review it regularly.

There are many kinds of drugs for treating stomach diseases, and doctors will choose the appropriate drugs according to the different symptoms of patients and the characteristics of drugs. Daxi is the most commonly used antacid and gastric mucosal protective agent, which can prevent and treat stomach acid, stomach pain, heartburn and other discomfort symptoms related to stomach acid, and its effect is rapid and lasting; Dessert is a gastrointestinal spasmolytic agent, which is suitable for spasmodic pain caused by gastrointestinal disorders.

Motilium is a gastrointestinal prokinetic drug, which can accelerate gastric emptying and relieve indigestion symptoms; Omeprazole is an acid inhibitor, which is suitable for peptic ulcer and can effectively protect gastric mucosa. There are many reasons for gastrointestinal discomfort, and everyone has many different symptoms of gastrointestinal discomfort. You need to follow the doctor's advice before taking the medicine, and don't blindly choose your own medicine.

Acute stomach diseases can be cured as soon as possible by taking medicine and adjusting living habits, but some patients with old stomach diseases have been deeply troubled by stomach diseases for many years. Although western medicine can relieve some symptoms, the side effects will stimulate the stomach and can't get rid of the root cause of stomach disease. These patients can try traditional Chinese medicine decoction conditioning method, which will also have good results.

Chinese medicine believes that epigastric pain can be divided into the following categories: stomach diseases invaded by cold pathogens should be warmed to dispel cold, regulate qi and relieve pain; For stomach damage caused by diet, hawthorn and tangerine peel can be taken to help digestion; Liver qi invading the stomach is mainly caused by high pressure, easy to get angry and vigorous liver fire. It is suggested to soothe the liver and regulate qi, harmonize the stomach and relieve pain, and keep a good mood at the same time. Damp-heat stomachache should be clear and dry, and diet should be light.

Deficiency of stomach yin can nourish yin and stomach, harmonize middle energizer and relieve pain, and can often eat health-preserving soup to nourish stomach; Stomach diseases due to deficiency and cold of spleen and stomach should be warmed to strengthen the spleen, harmonize the spleen and relieve pain, eat more food that warms the spleen and stomach, and don't eat indigestible food. Many people don't know what kind of stomach trouble they belong to and how to treat it. They need to consult a professional doctor and don't blindly believe in quack tricks.

Any disease needs three visits to the cottage, seven visits to the cottage, and conditioning is greater than treatment, and stomach diseases are no exception. People without stomach trouble should nourish their stomachs in advance to keep stomach trouble away from us; Patients who already have stomach problems should pay more attention to stomach maintenance, reduce the number of stomach attacks and improve their quality of life. There are many ways to nourish the stomach, and it is very important to choose the right method.

Stomach disease will bring a lot of harm to health, so we can't be careless. Only by combining daily maintenance with taking medicine can we achieve twice the result with half the effort. To some extent, the effect of nourishing stomach is better than taking medicine. Eat imported food every day before you enter your stomach. Some bad habits will pose a threat to the health of the stomach. You can pay more attention to the following aspects.

1, good eating habits. Ensure normal three meals a day at reasonable intervals, such as breakfast at 7:00, lunch 12: 00 and dinner 17:30. Adjust according to your study, work and life time, and try not to fluctuate too much. Eating regularly every day is conducive to the regular digestion and absorption of food, and is also beneficial to controlling blood sugar fluctuations.

Controlling the food intake to seven or eight points can not only give the stomach more digestive space, but also reduce the load on the stomach. Eating too much food often will cause stomach overload and increase body mass index; Long-term overeating can also lead to stomach bleeding; Partial eclipse, overeating or full meal are not only not conducive to balanced intake of nutrients, but also cause gastrointestinal dysfunction. Regular and quantitative meals a day can improve the function of the spleen and stomach, and hunger strike must be stopped in order to lose weight.

In order to catch up with time, many people gobble up their meals, and food enters the stomach without full chewing, which will increase the load on the stomach. Too much air will easily lead to flatulence. Chew slowly when eating, leave enough time for eating, don't play with your mobile phone, don't chat or think about things when eating, and it's also important to concentrate on eating.

In the cold winter, every household likes to eat hot pot, but the food taken out is too hot, which is harmful to esophagus and gastric mucosa. Some people like to eat it with beer and cold drinks. As we all know, eating hot and cold alternately is the most serious harm to the stomach, so it must be eliminated. It is best to eat warm food and warm drinks to keep the stomach at a constant temperature.

Avoid eating cold food, cold air will come in, which will lead to disharmony between the spleen and stomach. In summer, reduce the intake of cold drinks and drink more warm water. Don't eat raw and unclean food to avoid Helicobacter pylori infection, which is one of the important factors causing stomach diseases. Don't eat hard food, which will easily cause gastrointestinal discomfort and increase stomach load.

Spicy and irritating food will stimulate the symptoms of stomach discomfort, promote excessive gastric acid secretion, aggravate gastric mucosal damage, and minimize the intake of heavy food; High-calorie, greasy fried food will increase the stomach load and should be eaten less; The food of patients with gastropathy should be sterilized at high temperature and cooked for a long time before eating. Light, soft and liquid foods can reduce the stomach load, and sweets will aggravate the secretion of gastric acid, so the intake frequency should be reduced.

You need to have a rest within half an hour after dinner. Don't start work or study immediately after meals, let alone engage in strenuous activities. After eating, the blood will be concentrated in the stomach to ensure adequate gastric motility and digestive function. At this time, if you work or study, blood will be supplied to other parts of the body, which is not conducive to the health of the stomach.

As the old saying goes, you can live ninety-nine if you walk a hundred steps after a meal. On the one hand, it is said that slight activities should be carried out after meals to promote the peristalsis of the stomach and transport the digested food out of the stomach smoothly, so as not to stay in the stomach; On the one hand, it means not to do strenuous exercise after meals. Intense exercise is not only bad for the digestion and transportation of food, but also causes serious consequences of gastroptosis.

3. Keep a good mental state and mood. I believe that many patients with old stomach problems have had such a life experience. Whether they are under pressure from work or have a bad temper, or when their family members are angry because of differences, or when they encounter something unsatisfactory, they will all cause stomach problems to recur and stomachache.

Anger and bad mood are the root of all diseases. When angry, the liver qi stagnates and the meridians are blocked, leading to stomach pain and intercostal neuralgia. If you can't effectively relieve your emotions, stagnation will be aggravated and it will become a tumor after a long time. Anger of women will not only hurt the stomach, but also easily hurt the breasts, leading to breast hyperplasia, breast nodules, or breast cancer.

With the fast pace of modern life and great work pressure, everyone will be in a situation where there are old people and small people. When many complicated things come at you, what we can do is to correct our mentality, relax our mood, be calm when we encounter unhappy things and control our emotional ups and downs. Things should be done one by one, problems should be solved one by one, and there is no hurdle. Anger not only can't solve the problem, but if it is really harmful to the health, it will not be worth the loss.

4. Self-massage. The stomach is close to the heart and located in the precordial area. It is an organ that is afraid of cold. In addition to not eating cold food in diet, we should also pay attention to keeping the stomach warm and massaging the stomach in life. Massage can not only improve gastrointestinal function, improve immunity, but also expel cold from the body. Massage the upper abdomen 30 times clockwise and counterclockwise, twice a day, and stick to it and you will see the effect.

5. Good living habits are the premise of health. Long-term lack of sleep will affect gastrointestinal health; Nicotine in cigarettes is a stimulating factor to the stomach, so it is best to give it up. Alcohol is harmful to the liver, and drinking on an empty stomach is more harmful to the stomach. If there is inevitable alcoholism, you can eat some food or drink some soup before drinking, which is a kind of protection for gastric mucosa.

Health is the capital of revolution. Only a healthy body can guarantee the quality and length of individual life. Food provides sufficient nutrition for the body, is the driving force of health, and ensures that our life can go smoothly. The stomach is one of the important organs of the human body and an important tissue for digesting food, which is very important to us.

The stomach is a fragile organ. The stimulation of heavy food, cold diet and bad angry mood will all threaten the health of the stomach. Pay enough attention to life, develop good eating habits and ensure the safety of imported food. When you encounter angry things, don't hold them in your heart, choose the right way to solve them. Only when the stomach is healthy can we taste all the delicious food in the world and appreciate the beauty in the world.
