1, cold in late spring, beware of old stomach problems.
Experts say that low temperature is a high incidence of gastrointestinal diseases, because low temperature stimulation will cause capillary contraction, affect gastric acid secretion and blood circulation in the stomach, thus causing acute stomach cramps, gastric ulcers, gastroenteritis and so on.
Experts suggest that many patients who have been admitted recently have "old stomach problems" after catching cold, so people with stomach problems should pay special attention to keep warm this season and increase or decrease clothes in time according to climate change to prevent their abdomen from catching cold. Pay attention to keep warm and nourish the stomach, drink more hot water, eat less cold food and eat on time. Exercise moderately, and don't sweat excessively. Regular daily life, remember not to stay up late and don't think too much.
2, the method of nourishing the stomach
Drink water even if you are not thirsty. During the festival, the stomach bears several times more load than usual. Therefore, it is necessary to "bathe" the intestines after the festival. Pay attention to reduce the intake of refined rice flour, candy and dessert, especially pay attention to drink plenty of water, preferably boiled water or tea. This can speed up gastrointestinal peristalsis and metabolism, and reduce the damage to the liver caused by a lot of meat and wine.
Eat more fruits and vegetables. Many foods eaten in festivals are big fish and meat or fried foods and desserts. Fried food is easy to cause spleen and stomach heat depression, leading to constipation or bloating; Eating too much sweets can also lead to spleen deficiency and dampness, causing diarrhea. Eating more fresh green leafy vegetables and fruits after the festival can supplement dietary fiber, help eliminate the garbage in the body, and have the functions of relaxing bowels and regulating the stomach. In addition, yam, as a medicinal material, also has the function of nourishing the spleen and stomach, whether it is cooking rice or porridge.
Pay attention to keep your stomach warm. After the Spring Festival, snowfall in most parts of China cooled down and the climate became cold. Therefore, we must keep the stomach warm to avoid being attacked by cold pathogens and aggravating gastrointestinal discomfort. "Ten stomach diseases and nine cold", the spleen and stomach like dryness and hate cold. Patients with deficiency-cold stomachache should pay attention to keep warm and avoid catching a cold.
