Chinese medicine, "the spleen and stomach is the foundation of the day", "stomach gas a defeat, a hundred drugs difficult to do", you can see that the stomach of the human body is very important to health.

"Stomach" is not a precise definition of this thing, everyone's physique is different, the gastrointestinal situation is not the same. People with bad stomachs have their own problems, such as too much stomach acid, too little stomach acid, stomach ulcers, insufficient gastric power, etc., or atrophic gastritis, which is a different situation, and reacts differently to each kind of food.

Why is the spleen and stomach disease is always very difficult to cure, we are in the process of "stomach", easy to fall into a misunderstanding, that the warm stomach is equal to the stomach, in fact, I think, not all the warm stomach food, are the stomach.

1, sweet potatoes

Sweet potatoes are a common food, sweet and soft flavor, you can also cook porridge, can also be steamed or baked to eat. Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica" has a record, "sweet potatoes fill the void, strengthen the spleen and stomach, strong kidney yin", sweet potatoes are rich in dietary fiber, can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis and prevent constipation, there is a very good role in warming the stomach.

People with a good spleen and stomach, eat sweet potatoes in moderation, or have benefits. In addition to warming the stomach, sweet potatoes have an acid-producing effect, so patients with acid reflux, excessive consumption of sweet potatoes will aggravate the symptoms, not necessarily with the effect of stomach.

2, ginger

Ginger, warm, is a food commonly used in daily life, its unique "ginger" can stimulate the gastrointestinal mucosa, promote the expansion of blood vessels, accelerate blood circulation, enhance digestion, with the role of warming the cold and vomiting.

We all know that ginger has a very good effect on warming the stomach, but not on the symptoms, it can not play a role in supporting the stomach. Clinically, some people are not suitable, such as gastric mucosa congestion, edema and gastric erosion, ulcers, and then take ginger, easy to aggravate the condition.

3, millet

"Famous Doctor's Record" has such a record: "benefit the kidney gas, to go to the spleen and stomach in the heat, beneficial gas", used to describe the effects of millet. Millet can often be made into two rice porridge, millet pumpkin porridge, etc., with the lowering of gastric fire, open stomach and bowels, as well as clearing heat and detoxification.

Although millet warms the stomach, but not necessarily stomach, especially the consumption of old millet, easy to produce "stagnant gas, isolation of food" effect. Therefore, the stomach cold cold people, the stomach is obviously full and atrophic gastritis people, is not recommended to eat too much millet porridge.

4, chili pepper

"Compendium of Materia Medica" pointed out that chili pepper "eliminating food, solve the knot gas, open the stomach, open the door, open the evil, kill the fishy gas of the poison". Chili pepper is a warm stomach food, eat chili pepper in moderation can prevent cold, with the effect of warming the stomach to drive away cold, in addition, chili pepper can promote blood circulation in the mucous membranes as well as the operation of qi and blood, indigestion has a certain therapeutic effect.

Chili pepper is not advisable to eat more, choose the flavor is not very spicy, pungent and oil moist and meat is appropriate. Eating a lot of chili can promote the secretion of gastric acid, causing damage to the gastric mucosa, thus aggravating gastric diseases. Therefore, although the chili pepper warms the stomach, but not necessarily stomach, with erosive gastritis, gastric mucosal atrophy and other diseases, should not be eaten in excess.

There are many reasons for the recurrence of the old stomach disease, such as diet, climate, emotions, etc., stomach disease, in addition to relying on nutrition, but also need to Chinese medicine to treat the symptoms, find the right doctor, in fact, is not difficult to cure.
