The Chinese New Year is approaching, and I know everyone can't wait to eat a lot! But wait, let me, the "butler in the belly", remind you: during the Chinese New Year, you have to be careful of indigestion to find your door!
Why is it easy to have indigestion during the Chinese New Year?
During the Chinese New Year, every household is accompanied by big fish and meat, delicious food, and all kinds of snacks, sweets, and wine. These good things go into the stomach, and the digestive system has to work overtime. Coupled with irregular work and rest, staying up late to play cards, and watching TV, the stomach and intestines can suffer, and it is easy to have symptoms such as indigestion, bloating, and stomach pain.
How to deal with indigestion?
Don't panic, I'll give you a few tips!
1.Reasonable diet: Although there are many delicacies for the New Year, we must remember to take it easy, try to mix meat and vegetables, and eat more vegetables and fruits. When eating together, try to use small plates and bowls to reduce food intake, follow the principle of tasting each dish only and not hungry, chewing slowly to give your body enough time to feel full, and stick to the principle of eliminating snacks.
2.Regular work and rest: Try to maintain a normal work and rest time, don't let the stomach and intestines stay up late with you, even if you stay up late, you must insist on not eating supper.
3.Moderate exercise: After eating Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, do not rush to sit down and play cards, but take the initiative to increase the amount of exercise, you can choose aerobic exercises such as walking, running, swimming, or some home exercises, such as yoga, Pilates, etc. Exercise not only helps burn calories but also helps relieve stress.
In this way, the fate of gaining three pounds in a holiday will definitely be rewritten.
Holiday Medication Preparation!
Be prepared, of course. Here are some of the following medications you can prepare in advance:
1.Digestive enzyme preparations: such as gastric enzyme mixture, digestive enzyme tablets, digestive enzyme capsules, compound azinamide capsules, etc., help the human body digest and decompose food, which can significantly reduce the burden on the stomach and intestines.
2.Gastric motility drugs: such as morpholine, mosapride, itopride, etc., to promote gastrointestinal peristalsis and relieve bloating.
3.Gastric mucosal protectors: such as aluminum magnesium carbonate, sofadone, mezlin, etc., can protect the gastric mucosa and relieve stomach pain.
But remember, medicine is not candy, don't just take it. Best used under the guidance of a doctor!
In special cases, seek medical attention in time!
If you have severe stomach pain, vomiting, diarrhea, etc., then don't hesitate to go to the hospital immediately! The doctor will give a professional diagnosis and advice according to your situation.
Home remedies, massage, and massage help digestion!
Finally, I would like to share with you a few useful small home remedies and massage methods:
1.Hawthorn tangerine peel tea: Appropriate amount of hawthorn and tangerine peel, soak in water and drink. It helps to eliminate food and accumulation, and disperse qi and stasis.
2.Massage Zusanli: The Zusanli acupoint is located three inches below the lateral depression below the knee. Rubbing the acupuncture point with the thumb and fingertips will help regulate the spleen and stomach, replenish the body and invigorate the qi.
3.Tuina Neiguan acupoint: Neiguan acupoint is located on the volar side of the forearm, 2 inches above the wrist striae, between the palmaris longus tendon and the flexor carpi radialis tendon. Massaging this acupuncture point can regulate qi and blood, widen the chest and regulate qi, and is helpful for improving symptoms such as loss of appetite and upset caused by gastrointestinal disorders.
4.Massage the four seam acupoints and Lao Gong acupoints, of which the four suture points are located on the palm surface of the 2nd to 5th fingers, and the ** place of the horizontal stripe in the middle section; The Lao Gong acupoint is located in the palm of the hand.
