Both (the fourth generation descendant of Huaishengtang) and Zhang (the fifth generation descendant of Huaishengtang and director of Taichung Jisheng Chinese Medicine Clinic) have many gastrointestinal problems. Eating good oil and nourishing the stomach is also good for the stomach, which is very "nourishing the stomach". Because good oil can moisturize and protect our gastrointestinal mucosa, this is very important! After seeing a doctor for many years, I often have a feeling that modern people are almost doomed to get gastrointestinal diseases, unless you are under little pressure or open-minded. In my clinic, the proportion of gastrointestinal diseases is as high as 80% to 90%. Even patients who come to see a doctor because of other problems have almost all problems, such as abdominal distension, abdominal pain, stuffy stomach, stomachache, indigestion, hyperacidity, gastroesophageal reflux, poor appetite and so on. Some people defecate frequently, even after meals, although their stomachs are not uncomfortable. Some people are weak in defecation, always feel unclean before defecation, or their stomachs are very painful and urgent. Some people's stools are too soft, some are too hard, and some are hard before and soft after ... The situation is dazzling, and gastrointestinal diseases can be said to be one of the most complicated diseases. Why is it almost doomed that human beings suffer from gastrointestinal diseases? Because we are very easy to encounter two situations, and these two situations are just the prerequisites for getting gastrointestinal diseases. The first is that eating Dachuan is not correct, and the second is stress and emotion. Eating too much is the main cause of gastrointestinal diseases, which can cause indigestion, gastroesophageal reflux and hyperacidity, but for modern people, the phenomenon of "eating too much" is too common. As mentioned before, in the six million years of human development and evolution, hunting was the main course, the source of prey was uncertain, and most of the time people were starving. Therefore, the "hunger gene" is deeply rooted in our bodies. When there are rare foods to eat, we desperately eat and drink, because we don't know where the next meal is after eating one meal. So, eat as much as possible, so as not to survive the next meal. Until the invention of agriculture about 10,000 years ago, the source of food was somewhat predictable. However, due to the underdeveloped production technology and too many variables of climate and various factors, people are inevitably trapped in the dilemma of starvation. But in the past half century, agriculture and various production technologies have advanced by leaps and bounds, and the output has increased greatly. The sources of various foods are almost certain. Now people are no longer hungry. This is a blessing that human beings have never had in 6 million years, but it leads to a problem: the "hunger gene" in our body still exists and has not changed at all!

Now people are no longer hungry. This is a blessing that human beings have never had in 6 million years, but it leads to a problem: the "hunger gene" in our body still exists and has not changed at all! When we walk into the supermarket and look around, there are all kinds of food, each of which is so attractive, what will happen to us? Primitive genes begin to play tricks in the body, so we will buy a bunch of snacks we want to eat in the future, and then buy a bunch of snacks we want to eat in the future. Health is usually lost bit by bit from the mouth. We really ate too much. It's not dinner. Many people may say: it's not time to eat, but they are hungry, so they want to eat snacks. There are so many delicious foods at home, it's really hard not to eat them! This problem will be difficult to overcome, because there are so many snacks at home, once the brain has the idea of eating, things are in front of it, and of course it is difficult to fight against desire. Then why are there so many snacks at home? We became greedy because we expected to be hungry. Because animals don't eat enough fat, they are easy to feel hungry, so the biggest reason is that "it is easy to feel hungry between meals", so the previous purchase action was made. Many people may think that it is not normal to feel hungry between meals. Actually, it's normal not to be hungry It's wrong to eat when you are hungry! Many people will retort that they are afraid of being hungry between meals, so they deliberately eat full, such as lunch, but they are still hungry at three or four in the afternoon, so they still have to eat snacks. There is no way! In fact, you will feel hungry between meals. The biggest factor is that there is not enough fat in dinner, especially animal fat. It is useless to eat too much rice or noodles, especially flour. Be sure to eat snacks again. Therefore, the best way to replace snacks with fruits is to "eat enough animal fat every meal to make yourself feel full for a long time". Without hunger demand, the brain will naturally not look forward to eating, but will always see the picture of going to the supermarket to buy snacks. Without the impulse to buy snacks, there will naturally be no snacks at home. If you really want to go shopping for leisure, buy some fruit! At least you can eat some natural vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals, antioxidants and other beneficial things, instead of packaging snacks, bread and desserts, which are completely processed products. Animal fat can nourish the stomach. Appropriate animal fat is also good for the gastrointestinal tract, which is very "stomach-nourishing". Because good oil can moisturize and protect our gastric mucosa, this is very important! Because some foods we eat will inevitably cause damage to the gastric mucosa, such as crude fiber, hard food, and coarse particles produced by insufficient chewing of food. Or hyperacidity can easily damage the gastric mucosa. Nowadays, mainstream medicine appeals to everyone to stay away from animal fat, which leads many people who pursue health, especially women, to consume too little animal fat, which is even worse for the stomach, bad for the stomach and makes people weak. For this kind of patients, I would suggest buying some animal fats such as lard, chicken oil and goose oil to mix vegetables or rice. This method is almost "oily" for people who rarely eat animal fat and have long-term stomach problems! Eating "proper" good fat is the best way to protect the gastrointestinal tract. If you can't eat animal oil, eat fish oil or vegetable oil: cold pressed olive oil, cold pressed linseed oil, cold pressed coconut oil and high quality bitter tea oil are all good choices.
