The stomach is the main digestive organ of the human body, which is composed of several parts, including the cardia, the fundus, the body of the stomach and the pylorus, and is adjacent to organs such as the spleen, pancreas, left kidney, and transverse colon.
In general, most of the stomach is located in the left hypochondrium, and only a small part is in the abdomen, and the position will change depending on the amount of food in the stomach, for example, when there is too much food in the stomach, the greater curvature of the stomach may fall to the level of the umbilicus or even below the navel eye.
The function of the stomach is very strong, not only to digest and store food, but also to resist the invasion of microorganisms, such as cold, it may cause symptoms such as stomach deficiency and stomach cold.
AlthoughStomach deficiency cold and stomach cold both belong to stomach cold, but there is still a certain difference between the two
Stomach deficiency and cold is stomach yang deficiency, which is mostly caused by weak physique and long-term consumption of raw and cold food, which is mainly manifested as cold stomach and dull pain.
The stomach is also called cold condensation gastrointestinal syndrome, which is mainly a disease caused by the invasion of cold and evil qi, such as drinking a lot of cold beer, eating too much ice cream, etc.
The pain caused by stomach cold is severe, and due to the reversal of stomach qi, symptoms such as nausea and vomiting may occur. But no matter what kind of stomach cold, you should do a good job of nourishing your stomach, especially in winter. SoHow to nourish your stomach in winter?
1. Eat less spicy and irritating cold foods
If you want to nourish your stomach, you must eat less spicy and irritating foods, especially those who have a weak spleen and stomach, and you should stay away from such foods, such as strong tea, coffee, tobacco and alcohol, cold drinks, etc. This is because spicy and irritating foods can cause certain irritation to the gastric mucosa, thereby increasing the probability of suffering from gastritis.
2. Exercise appropriately after meals
As the saying goes, if you take a hundred steps after a meal, you will live to ninety-nine. Proper exercise one hour after meals can effectively help food digestion and absorption, accelerate gastrointestinal peristalsis, and is one of the effective ways to nourish the stomach, such as moderate jogging, brisk walking, etc.
However, it should be noted that you should not exercise immediately after eating, and you should try to rest and sit still within half an hour after eating. If you do strenuous exercise immediately after eating, it will not only fail to nourish the stomach, but may also induce digestive diseases such as gastric prolapse and gastric ulcers.
3. Eat on time and refuse to overeat
The health of the stomach and intestines has a lot to do with scientific diet, and if you want to nourish your stomach, you must develop good habits such as eating on time, eating three meals a day, and not overeating.
In order to maintain their figure, some people will try to eat as little or no food as possible, and wait until they are hungry and then overeat, which will undoubtedly burden the stomach and intestines, and also lay the root of various gastrointestinal diseases.
Therefore, it is important to maintain a healthy and standardized diet. If you need to eat small and frequent meals for other reasons, you should also control the time and amount of food to improve gastrointestinal function.
4. Don't drink water while eating
Many people have the habit of drinking a lot of water during meals, but this behavior is not conducive to nourishing the stomach.
Drinking too much water during meals will dilute gastric acid, but food mainly relies on gastric acid to digest, once gastric acid is diluted, food will be difficult to digest, and gastrointestinal peristalsis will also be affected by this.
As the digestive organ of the human body, the stomach has a variety of key roles, and once there is a problem with the stomach and intestines, it will affect the normal functioning of other organs in the body. Therefore, it is important to protect your stomach, such as paying more attention to the above four points.
In addition, you should also learn to release stress by yourself, after all, when the pressure is too high, it will also have a negative impact on the stomach, such as inducing neurogastritis.
