During the Spring Festival, Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, visiting relatives and friends, visiting mountains and rivers and other activities are essential, I believe everyone is basically in a state of eating, from candy snacks to drinks and drinks, from fried dumplings to hot pot seafood, spicy, greasy, fried food is often a frequent guest on the table of friends. After a few meals of nonsense eating and drinking. You may feel very satisfied, but your stomach and intestines begin to "work overtime" to digest, and problems such as eating too much and eating bad will follow.
In the Department of Spleen, Stomach and Gastroenterology of our hospital, I saw many citizens coming to the hospital for gastrointestinal discomfort after the holiday. "During the Chinese New Year, I drank a lot of chicken soup and ate hot pot, and my own stomach was not very good and I felt uncomfortable. Miss Nie, a citizen, said.
Chen Kai, deputy chief physician of the Department of Spleen and Gastroenterology, reminded that after the Spring Festival holiday, while people return to normal study and work, the stomach and intestines should also return to normal from eating and drinking. In order to better care for the stomach and intestines, everyone should pay attention to adjusting the diet and "reducing the burden" on the stomach.
It is understandable to eat and drink well during the Spring Festival, but if you do not pay attention to your diet after the holiday, it may cause a series of diseases, the first of which is indigestion. Chen Kai introduced. During the Spring Festival holiday, many people break the original sleep and eating rules, stay up late, overeat, etc., especially eating a large amount of frozen and spicy food, or eating too fast, may cause stomach pain, stomach bloating, belching, acid reflux as the main symptoms of acute and chronic gastritis and peptic ulcer disease.
In addition, for some citizens with high blood pressure, diabetes, hyperuricemia, gouty arthritis, and hyperlipidemia, eating a diet high in salt, fat, sugar, and purines during the Spring Festival will also lead to the aggravation of pre-existing diseases. Heavy alcohol consumption also poses a risk of bleeding ulcers and acute pancreatitis flare-ups. Eating too many fried dumplings and potato chips snacks will also cause uncomfortable symptoms such as sore throat, acne, and constipation.
To this end, Chen Kai proposed that the following points should be paid attention to in the post-holiday gastrointestinal adjustment:
One is to eat on time, especially for breakfast. Many people sleep lazily during the holiday and eat irregularly three meals a day, so they must first correct this bad habit;
The second is to appropriately reduce the amount of food, it is advisable to be full of seven or eight percent, the eating time should not be too fast, and it is better to chew and swallow slowly;
Third, the diet is mainly light and balanced, and eat more vitamin-rich vegetables and fruits;
Fourth, pay attention to rest, don't stay up late, and exercise appropriately.
In addition, Chen Kai also suggested that dietary therapy methods can be used, such as adding barley, red beans, gourd seeds and other herbs when making soup, which can play a role in clearing heat and detoxifying, strengthening the spleen and dispeling dampness.
Finally, Pan Yong, director of the nutrition department, gave you two practical food therapy, which are very suitable for citizens who have recently become popular. At the same time, he reminded everyone to pay attention to the "spring cover and autumn cool", spring is cool in the morning and evening, and if you take off too much clothes at once, you are likely to catch a cold and get sick due to not adapting to climate change.
