Chinese often drink hot water and have a high incidence of stomach problems, while foreigners always drink ice water but are fine. This phenomenon has aroused many people's thinking and discussion. In fact, there are a variety of factors at play behind this. Here are some analyses of this phenomenon:
1.Dietary Xi: Chinese eating habits consist mainly Xi warm foods and drinks, which causes the stomach to gradually adapt to this warm environment. However, sudden ingestion of ice water may irritate the stomach and cause the stomach lining to contract, which may lead to stomach problems in the long term. Foreigners' eating Xi often include more cold or cold foods, and their stomachs may have adapted to this temperature change.
2.Drinking water quality: Water quality is also an important factor in stomach health. In China, there may be potential safety hazards to water quality in some areas, such as heavy metals and microbial contamination. Drinking contaminated water may increase the risk of stomach problems. In some developed countries, water quality standards are strict, and tap water is often drinkable, reducing the likelihood of the stomach being affected by polluted water.
3.Disease awareness and diagnosis rate: Chinese generally attach importance to physical health and seek medical advice if they feel unwell. This makes stomach problems easier to diagnose and document. In contrast, foreigners may not pay as much attention to stomach upset, and some may even think that stomach problems are a normal phenomenon, so the diagnosis rate may be lower. This can also lead to the illusion that the incidence of stomach problems in foreigners seems to be low.
4.Lifestyle: In addition to dietary Xi, lifestyle also has a great impact on stomach health. Foreigners pay attention to exercise and outdoor activities, which helps to strengthen physical fitness and resistance, and reduce the incidence of stomach problems. In addition, they pay relatively attention to a balanced diet and reduce the intake of high-fat, high-sugar foods, which also helps prevent stomach problems.
In general, Chinese often drink hot water and have a high incidence of stomach problems, while foreigners always drink ice water but are fine, and the reasons behind this phenomenon are complex and diverse. To prevent stomach problems, we should pay attention to many aspects such as dietary habits, Xi drinking water quality, disease awareness and lifestyle. At the same time, strengthening the promotion of health knowledge and improving the level of medical care will help to better prevent and improve stomach diseases.
