Care of gastritis
1. Stay positive and optimistic
Malaise, sadness, depression, depression, suffering from gains and losses, seemingly unimportant factors are one of the culprits that cause or aggravate various types of gastritis. Emotional fluctuations often affect other aspects such as diet. When you are in dispute or venting, it will affect your appetite. The decrease in appetite will affect the digestive tract, and the secretion of digestive glands will decrease. If you eat at this time, due to the gastrointestinal tract Peristalsis becomes slow as the digestive glands are lowered, and the food will not be completely digested. It is easy to cause bloating and lack of interest in food. Therefore, we must maintain a positive and optimistic attitude to make our lives better. Only when our bodies get better, our living environment and lifestyle will get better and better.
2. Food hygiene
The stomach is one of our most important organs, because it provides nutrition for various cells and tissues in our body. While taking in nutrition, we also have to cherish our stomachs. When suffering from chronic gastritis, we should avoid eating too spicy, too cold or too hot food, smoking and drinking. When you find that you have bad symptoms in your upper abdomen, avoid eating too irritating foods, such as raw garlic, green onions, and mustard. Develop a good habit of chewing slowly and eating regularly when eating. Due to the accelerated pace of life, many people have developed the habit of not eating breakfast, but this is not worth promoting. Statistics show that people who do not eat breakfast for a long time are prone to gastritis.
3. Self-massage
Self-use massage method to press and knead the corresponding acupuncture points. Modern experimental studies have shown that massage on the abdomen can help gastrointestinal peristalsis and emptying, can enhance the function of gastrointestinal secretion glands, improve digestion, and also has antispasmodic and pain relief effects.
4. Eat stomach-protecting foods often
You can eat more grains in your daily life, because grains can promote the digestion and absorption of the gastrointestinal tract. General coarse grains include millet, rice, corn, wheat, etc. These coarse grains are more comprehensive in nutrition than polished rice and refined noodles. Such as fresh milk, soy milk, eggs, various red date porridge, yam porridge, vermicelli, tofu, tender vegetable leaves, etc., these foods can protect the gastric mucosa and clear the gastrointestinal tract.
