It must be admitted that our country is a major country with stomach problems. Diseases enter through the mouth, which is closely related to our dietary habits. Most of the food we eat in daily life needs to be stir-fried in high oil, especially as modern people generally like to eat some spicy and stimulating foods, undoubtedly adding burden to the intestines and stomach quietly. When experiencing discomfort in the stomach, people tend to casually take some stomach medicine, and when the discomfort subsides, they start eating randomly again, continuously worsening the stomach condition. Therefore, in life, we should not only reduce the consumption of foods that stimulate the intestines and stomach but also insist on eating some stomach-nourishing foods to slowly restore intestinal and stomach health!
For people with stomach problems, it is recommended to eat less of these 3 types of dishes:
1. Overly spicy dishes
The harm of spicy foods to the intestines and stomach is not to be underestimated. Excessive capsaicin may also stimulate the nerve endings of the stomach, causing stomach spasms, gastric acid bloating, and other discomfort. It may also lead to constipation, acne, internal heat, and other adverse reactions. Therefore, it is advised to consume less overly spicy foods in daily life.
2. Overly acidic dishes
Many people may know to eat less spicy and stimulating foods, but why should acidic dishes be consumed in moderation? In fact, overly acidic dishes also have a certain impact on the stomach mucosa because acidic foods may stimulate the intestines and stomach to secrete more gastric juice, possibly eroding the stomach mucosa and causing intestinal bloating. Therefore, for those with stomach problems, acidic foods should also be chosen in moderation.
3. Cold dishes
According to traditional Chinese medicine, the intestines and stomach prefer warmth. Therefore, consuming too many cold foods may disrupt the smooth flow of qi and blood in the intestines and stomach, leading to qi stagnation, blood stasis, and exacerbating stomach cold conditions. Therefore, for individuals with stomach cold or frequent stomach pain, it is recommended to eat less overly cold or raw cold foods.
Stomach feeling unwell? Don’t worry! Add something to plain water to nourish and protect the stomach!
1. Osmanthus tea
Osmanthus has a warm nature. For those with stomach cold, osmanthus has a good effect on warming the stomach, dispelling cold, promoting blood circulation, and resolving stasis. It may help improve loss of appetite, abdominal distension, abdominal pain, and reduce the burden on the intestines and stomach.
2. Barley tea
Barley tea has a sweet taste and a neutral nature, with a good function of tonifying the spleen, warming the stomach, and promoting digestion, especially suitable for those with weak spleen and stomach. Barley also contains a large amount of dietary fiber, which may effectively promote intestinal peristalsis, enhance digestion and absorption, alleviate constipation, diuresis, reduce swelling, and prevent gastric ulcers and gastritis.
3. Tangerine peel tea
Tangerine peel is a popular health-preserving ingredient that people enjoy. Drinking tangerine peel tea frequently not only tastes good but also has a good stomach-nourishing effect. This is because tangerine peel contains rich volatile oils, which may promote the secretion of digestive fluids, stimulate appetite, promote the healing of gastric ulcers, and protect and nourish the stomach.
Once stomach problems arise, it is essential to pay more attention to correcting unhealthy lifestyle habits and dietary habits early on, drink stomach-nourishing tea regularly, protect the gastric mucosa, and make the stomach stronger day by day!
