One of the most important things when nourishing the stomach in winter is to pay attention to keeping the stomach warm. The cold in winter will slow down the activity of the stomach or cause stomach cramps, and it will easily lead to "irritable bowel syndrome", leading to diarrhea, fatigue and general weakness. Be sure to keep your stomach warm in winter. You can wear a warm vest to give your stomach a warm environment.

2. Eat more warm food.

Winter is a cold season, so many people are afraid of the cold. At this time, in order to maintain a certain amount of heat, the human body must increase the decomposition of substances such as sugar, fat and protein in the body to generate more energy to meet the needs of the body. Diets should be supplemented with thermogenic nutrients, such as carbohydrate, fat and protein, to improve the body's tolerance to low temperature. In addition, the spleen of the stomach likes dryness and hates cold, so you should eat more foods that warm the stomach, such as beef, mutton and leeks.

3, three meals regularly quantitative

In winter, we all know that it is easy to get dark quickly, so many people will change three meals a day to two meals and increase the amount of meals, which is not recommended. It is easy to cause gastric acid secretion disorder and damage gastric mucosa. Three meals a day should be regularly quantified. The energy distribution of three meals should be 30%, 40% and 30%, with breakfast at 6: 30 ~ 8: 30, lunch at1:30 ~13: 30, and dinner at18: 00 ~ 20: 00.

4. drink a cup of warm water before meals

The best time to drink water is when you get up in the morning on an empty stomach and one hour before each meal. Drinking water immediately after a meal will dilute the gastric juice, and soaking rice in soup will also affect digestion.

5. Eat more stews and less cold salad.

It's cold in winter, and many people like to eat hot food. However, the human esophageal wall is composed of mucosa, which is very delicate and can only tolerate food at 50 ~ 60℃. If the temperature exceeds this temperature, the esophageal mucosa will be scalded. Too cold food entering the stomach will stimulate the gastric mucosa and cause stomach trouble, which is also not conducive to keeping warm. Therefore, the food in winter should be mainly warm, eat more stews and stir-fry, eat less cold salad, and drink soup instead of boiled soup.

6. Chew slowly

Some people come home from work in the cold outdoors, and when they see hot food, they immediately serve it and gobble it up. However, in a short period of time, eating in large quantities and quickly, the food that is not chewed enough can not be fully mixed with gastrointestinal liquid phase in the stomach, which directly affects its digestion and absorption, and it is easy to overeat and exceed the stomach capacity. Chewing slowly is beneficial to the uniform mixing of food and gastric juice, promoting digestion and absorption, and the absorption rate of some nutrients in food can be increased by about 10%. It is recommended to chew every bite of food 30 times, and each meal should be no less than 20 minutes.

7. Take a walk indoors after dinner

Walking after a meal in winter can be changed to indoors, and you should not leave immediately after a meal, but after 20 to 30 minutes. "Take a hundred steps after a meal" is only suitable for people who are usually less active, fatter or have too much stomach acid. Elderly people with cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension and arteriosclerosis should not "walk in a hundred steps" immediately after meals.
