1. Supplementing "good bacteria" to protect the stomach and intestines
Regular supplementation of probiotics in daily life can not only increase the combat effectiveness of beneficial bacteria, It helps maintain intestinal health, promotes intestinal peristalsis, improves the intestinal environment where bacteria are located, and inhibits the growth of harmful bacteria. In fact, in addition to yogurt and cheese, some other fermented foods also contain probiotics, such as kimchi, natto, fermented bean curd, etc.
In addition, in order to stimulate the growth of probiotics, you should eat more foods rich in oligosaccharides, such as bananas, garlic, honey, onions and asparagus, because oligosaccharides are the precursors of probiotics in the intestines. nutrient.
2. Eat fiber regularly to cleanse the intestines
Studies have found that a person's daily intake of 20 to 25 grams of dietary fiber can make the intestines more "environmentally friendly". Vegetables and fruits contain more "water-soluble fiber", which can clean the intestines and adjust the intestinal flora environment. It not only prevents cancer, but also relieves constipation and is of great benefit to gastrointestinal health. Whole grains contain more "insoluble fiber", which can stimulate the peristalsis of the intestinal wall, shorten the retention time of food in the large intestine, and reduce the absorption of harmful substances.
Therefore, the diet should be balanced and nutritious. Don’t eat a lot of a single food, but eat some of each food. Whole grains, spinach, cauliflower, apples, broccoli, pears, legumes, etc. should all be regular guests on the table.
3. Slow down your eating speed
Multiple studies have found that gorging on food can easily lead to food accumulation in the body, increase gastrointestinal burden, and slow down intestinal peristalsis. And if you eat too fast, the vitamins, minerals and amino acids in the food cannot be fully absorbed, resulting in a large loss of nutrients. Over time, the stomach and intestines will become imbalanced. Eating slowly allows food to be better digested and absorbed, so that it does not stay in the intestines and cause blockage.
It is recommended that each meal should be eaten for at least 25 minutes, and it is best for the elderly to chew a meal more than 20 times. Because when food is chewed in the mouth, it can combine with saliva to produce salivary amylase, and this substance is the main driving force for promoting digestion. It's best to eat with family and friends and slow down, which can help change the habit of eating too fast.
4. Every meal is 70 to 80% full
If you are hungry, you will be full every time. When faced with food you don’t like, you would rather be hungry, but when you see something you like, you will eat it until you are full. . If things go on like this, the stomach and intestines will "go on strike". Even if it’s your favorite food, don’t “eat all at once.” It’s best to only eat seven to eight percent full at each meal, and don’t eat too many snacks. Let the stomach and intestines get adequate rest, otherwise it is easy to suffer from indigestion.
In addition, there are some habits that need attention before and after meals. For example, try not to eat cold food before meals; drink a few mouthfuls of soup or water before meals to promote the secretion of digestive juices, but not too much; , Do not do strenuous exercise one or two hours after meals; eat less food that is too oily, too salty, and too spicy to avoid irritating the gastrointestinal tract.
5. Take a short break after meals
Studies have found that taking a short break after meals can enhance gastrointestinal resistance, especially at noon. Try to take a nap to avoid gastrointestinal bleeding. Traffic is further reduced. However, experts remind that it is necessary to take a while to rest after dinner, because when sleeping at night, most organs enter a "recuperation" state with slow metabolism. At this time, the gastrointestinal tract is forced to "work intensely", and not only the gastric mucosa cannot be repaired, but also the gastrointestinal tract cannot be repaired. It will also cause the stomach to secrete a large amount of gastric juice and digest food, while destroying the gastric mucosa, leading to gastric erosion, gastric ulcer and other diseases. Therefore, going to bed soon after dinner and leaving food in the stomach is tantamount to "sleeping to wait for illness."
Stomach disease "treats three parts and nourishes it seven parts". Live a regular life, eat regularly and quantitatively, and always be eighty percent full; eat more soft, easy-to-digest food, such as porridge, soup, etc.; the diet should be warm , avoid cold and hard clothes; when the weather turns cold, pay attention to adding or removing clothes; keep your mood stable and optimistic.
