2. How to regulate the stomach?
1, concentrate on eating
When people are highly nervous, they often can't eat or even have a stomachache. Dyspepsia and ulcers are most likely to occur when work is tense, because long-term excessive excitement of sympathetic nerves will inhibit the activities of the autonomic nervous system, including digestion and absorption. Therefore, no matter how busy you are, you can't eat while watching the computer, don't talk about work at the dinner table, and don't give lectures to children at the dinner table. Put down your work, forget your troubles, relax and concentrate on eating.
Step 2 chew slowly
Everyone knows this statement, but little has been done. For people with weak gastrointestinal digestive function, it is especially important to chew slowly. If teeth can't finish their work seriously and saliva can't help them fully, then the stomach will be forced to work overtime and further crush large pieces of food into chyme soft enough. Think about it. Do you have teeth in your stomach? Of course not. How difficult it is to crush food with a soft organ! If the food is not broken enough, it will not be easily digested by various digestive enzymes in the small intestine. Think about it, is the hard lump easy to digest or the soft lump easy to digest? So the small intestine must work harder. Therefore, the easiest way is to chew as much as possible, which is not only conducive to digestion, but also helps to control food intake.
Step 3 eat on time
The gastrointestinal tract likes to work regularly and secretes digestive juice when it arrives. If you eat irregularly, it is very easy to cause indigestion or heartburn and acid reflux. Frequent hunger and satiety are irregular, and the stomach will lose its ability to judge satiety and control appetite. Never use losing weight as an excuse not to eat a meal. If you really want to control your weight by eating less, I suggest you eat three meals on time, but the number of staple food and animal food has decreased, and greasy vegetables have been replaced with less oil, but the amount of vegetables and fruits has increased, so you should drink more soup to increase the sense of "volume" when eating.
4. Prepare meals.
If you really can't eat in time because of busy work, you must prepare "food for famine relief", such as fruit, yogurt, nuts and so on. Even unhealthy biscuits (try to choose low-fat but not too sweet) are better than not eating them at all. Remember that the time of adding meals is very important. Be sure to eat these foods before you get hungry. For example, knowing that you will be hungry at 6 o'clock and drinking a cup of yogurt at 5 o'clock can delay the hunger time 1 hour; Then eating a banana or an apple at 6 o'clock can delay the hunger of 1 hour. In this way, when I get off work at 8 o'clock, I still won't feel too hungry. Then I can relax, drink a bowl of miscellaneous grains porridge, eat a plate of refreshing vegetables, and have a comfortable rest on time at night.
5. Have a good sleep
No matter how stressful it is, you should go to bed on time, relax for half an hour before going to bed, and forget everything except rest. After sleeping for 8 hours, the body will have enough time and energy to do internal repair work, and gastrointestinal cells will be updated within 3 ~ 4 days. It can be speculated that gastrointestinal repair is very sensitive to sleep. Many people have this experience. Once sleep is insufficient or the quality of sleep is low, the digestive function will easily decline, either loss of appetite, fullness in the stomach or obstruction of the large intestine.
6. Eat less inferior oil
The oil repeatedly heated in many restaurants is very harmful to the gastrointestinal tract. Studies have proved that this oil is related to chronic diseases of digestive system, such as chronic intestinal inflammation and irritable bowel syndrome. Therefore, people with bad stomachs should control their bad habits, don't eat fried, smoked or roasted, and don't eat those sticky stir-fried dishes and stalls of various unknown oils. Cooking methods should be steamed, boiled and stewed. Don't worry too much about destroying nutrients when heated to soft, because even losing a little vitamin is better than not digesting it. Vitamins can be supplemented by enriching food varieties.
7. Food is soft
The food with the least gastrointestinal burden is exquisite food rich in starch and less anti-nutritional factors. Such as yam paste, taro paste, mashed potatoes, rice porridge, millet porridge and so on. Old corn with too much dregs is not suitable for people with indigestion. But this does not mean that people with poor gastrointestinal function can only eat polished white rice and polished white flour, because their nutritional value is too low, which is not conducive to the improvement of gastrointestinal function in the long run. For those foods that are difficult to cook but have high nutritional value, the methods of beating, powdering and cooking can be used to reduce the digestive burden of gastrointestinal tract and ensure that the rich nutrients in them can be better absorbed by human body. For example, brown rice, black rice, adzuki beans, oats, sesame seeds, nuts and other ingredients rich in B vitamins and various minerals, if they are pulped with a soymilk machine and drunk every day, the gastrointestinal tract will feel very comfortable, and the difficulty of digestion and absorption will be significantly improved compared with that before pulping.
8, easy exercise
It is a good habit for people with indigestion to take a walk after meals or do some relaxing housework. Just after eating, it is not suitable for strenuous exercise and fast walking, but it does not mean that even slow walking is not allowed. The advantage of going out for a walk is that it relaxes people to a great extent. If you don't take a walk, you may watch TV, computer, magazines, etc. And mental activity is not conducive to digestion and absorption. Two hours after dinner, you can do some less tired sports, such as brisk walking, jogging, aerobics, yoga and so on. Moderate exercise is beneficial to improve blood circulation and digestion and absorption ability.
