What are the few causes of a bad stomach?
Nervousness
When a person is nervous, troubled, and angry, his bad emotions can spread to the limbic system through the cerebral cortex, affecting the autonomic nervous system, directly leading to gastrointestinal dysfunction, secreting excessive gastric acid and pepsin, causing gastric vasoconstriction, pyloric spasm, emptying disorders, and damage to the protective layer of the gastric mucosa, causing self-digestion and ulcers.
Excessive drinking
Alcohol itself can directly damage the gastric mucosa, and alcohol can also cause cirrhosis and chronic pancreatitis, which in turn can worsen stomach damage.
Excessive fatigue
Whether it is physical or mental work, if excessive fatigue will cause insufficient blood supply to the gastrointestinal tract, secretion dysfunction, excessive gastric acid and reduced mucus, and damage to the mucosa.
Uneven hunger and satiety
When starving, the gastric acid and protease in the stomach are not neutralized by food, and the concentration is high, which is easy to cause self-digestion of the mucosa. Overeating can also damage the stomach's self-protection mechanism; Stomach damage can be caused by excessive distending of the stomach lining and food staying for too long.
Unclean diet
Helicobacter pylori infection is one of the important causes of gastric and duodenal ulcers, and the detection rate of the bacterium is as high as 70~90% in ulcer patients, and the bacterium disappears after the ulcer disease is cured. Ulcers can be transmitted through close contact with utensils, teeth, and kissing, and unclean food is also one of the causes of infection.
Dinner was too full
Some people tend to focus the day's food nutrition on dinner, or like to eat a late-night snack or something before going to bed, which not only causes poor sleep, which can easily lead to obesity, but also induces ulcer formation by stimulating the gastric mucosa and causing excessive gastric acid secretion.

If you have a bad stomach, you need to follow the rounding principle in your diet
1. Fried food
Fried foods are generally unhygienic and unhealthy, especially for people with gastrointestinal problems. Fried chicken nuggets are high-fat foods, which are not conducive to digestion, and the human body will automatically secrete more gastric acid, which will increase the burden on the digestive tract, not only affect your stomach, but also lead to obesity, and eating too much will also cause nausea and even diarrhea, which is very bad for health.
2. Pickle food
The taste of food should be light to nourish the stomach, pickled food contains a lot of salt, which will stimulate the stomach to contract, eat more will cause harm to the stomach, and pickled food also contains a large amount of nitrate and nitrite, which is the direct cause of stomach cancer. Therefore, for the sake of stomach health, you should try to eat as little pickled food as possible.
3. Raw and cold food
The temperature of cold drinks is too low to make the stomach violent, especially for patients with stomach problems, and if you eat too much raw and cold food, it will also easily cause stomach bleeding. Contractile, cold, and irritating foods have a strong irritating effect on the mucosa of the digestive tract, which can easily cause diarrhea or inflammation of the digestive tract.
4. Legumes
Legumes are a high-protein food that is highly nutritious, but it's not for everyone. The purine-containing beans contain the effect of promoting gastric juice secretion, and the dietary fiber in whole beans will also cause institutional damage to the gastric mucosa, and some substances contained in it will also decompose to produce some small molecule gases, which will cause bloating.
1. Milk
Milk is very rich in nutrients, it can be said that milk is a perfect drink, and after research, milk also has a good stomach effect. The main function of milk is to nourish the lungs and stomach, to produce jin liquid, to moisten the large intestine, and to have a good effect on yin deficiency and stomach pain, constipation, etc. Modern medical research has found that milk has a very effective therapeutic effect on peptic ulcer disease, habitual constipation and other conditions.
2. Porridge
When it comes to nourishing the stomach, porridge is definitely the best choice, it is very easy to digest. As early as ancient times, people have paid attention to the effect of drinking porridge on health care. Li Shizhen once recorded more than 50 kinds of porridge in the "Compendium of Materia Medica", and he believed: "Every day, eat a big bowl of porridge. Empty stomach deficiency, grain gas is made, the supplement is not fine, and extremely soft and greasy, and the stomach and intestines get along, the most good diet. It means that if you get up early every day, you can drink a big bowl of hot porridge to nourish your stomach and intestines without increasing the burden on your digestive system.
In particular, eight-treasure porridge is most suitable for people who need to nourish their stomachs. This is due to the fact that Babao porridge contains a lot of peanuts, almonds, sugar, etc., and is also very high in calories, and regular consumption has a good protective effect on the stomach. Moreover, fresh peanuts also contain a lot of protein, fat and other substances, which can effectively protect the stomach and intestines.
3. Soup
In addition to the good stomach nourishing effect of porridge, there is another food that also has the same stomach nourishing effect, that is, soup. However, it should be noted that the soup should not be a broth, because the broth also contains a lot of acidic substances, which is not good for nourishing the stomach.
Drinking some soup before meals at noon can not only play a health role, but also make the food in the stomach fully close to the stomach wall, nourish the stomach, and enhance satiety to avoid overeating, which is very beneficial for people who are obese or want to lose weight. Radish soup, winter melon soup, tomato soup, kelp soup, seaweed soup, etc. are all good choices.
4. Noodles
The most appetizing staple food is noodles. Noodles are rich in carbohydrates, which can provide enough energy, and they absorb a lot of water during the cooking process, and 100 grams of noodles will become about 400 grams when cooked, so they can produce a strong feeling of satiety. In addition, noodles can stimulate people's thinking activities, and the human brain and nervous system need a food with 50% carbohydrates, and noodles are the food that the human brain needs. Durum wheat contains B vitamins, which have a stimulating effect on brain cells.
There are many ways to eat noodles, from cold noodles with water to oily noodles with extremely high temperatures. If it is too hot, it will damage the esophagus, and if it is too cold, it will not be conducive to digestion and absorption. Therefore, most of the time, it is best to eat a bowl of warm noodles. When eating noodles, in order to maintain the balance of nutrition, you can add a hard-boiled egg and pair it with a variety of vegetables to achieve a balance of carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins and other nutrients.
5. Sweet potatoes
Roasted sweet potatoes are a ubiquitous snack in the north. Because sweet potatoes have a sweet taste and health benefits, they are also very popular with people, and sweet potatoes can also nourish the stomach and accumulate them. Sweet potatoes themselves nourish the stomach, and the dietary fiber they are rich in can eliminate food and accumulate and increase appetite. However, sweet potatoes can promote gastric acid secretion, so people who usually have too much stomach acid, often feel acid reflux, and heartburn should not eat it. It is a good choice to eat some sweet potato porridge and steamed sweet potatoes.
When eating sweet potatoes, it is best not to drink water while eating, or eat a small amount of sweet potatoes and rice porridge, which can reduce gastrointestinal discomfort. Compared with adults, children are more likely to have such problems, and infants and young children are only recommended to eat sweet potato porridge; Older children can substitute sweet potatoes for some of the staple food in a particular meal, but no more than 1/3 of the total staple food.
