In modern life, gastrointestinal diseases are becoming more and more common, and many people are bothered by this problem. However, in the view of traditional Chinese medicine, it is a good way to maintain gastrointestinal health through dietary conditioning. Let's talk about the role of TCM dietary conditioning in gastrointestinal health.
1.Eat regularly. Traditional Chinese medicine attaches great importance to the regularity of diet, and believes that three meals a day should be regular and quantitative. Maintaining a good diet helps the gastrointestinal tract work properly and can prevent problems such as indigestion and bloating. And if you always overeat or don't eat, it will cause a burden on the spleen and stomach, so try to avoid it.
Balanced Diet TCM believes that the diet should be varied and contain enough protein, fat, carbohydrates and vitamins. Foods rich in dietary fiber, such as fresh vegetables, fruits, and whole grains, promote gastrointestinal motility and maintain intestinal health.
2.Slowly. Traditional Chinese medicine advocates chewing slowly and swallowing slowly when eating. This helps digestion and absorption, reduces the burden on the gastrointestinal tract and prevents indigestion.
Eat less irritating foods Spicy, greasy, and irritating foods can irritate the gastrointestinal mucosa and cause discomfort. Therefore, foods like fried chicken, french fries, chili peppers, and coffee are better to eat less.
3.Pay attention to food cleanliness. The cleanliness of food has a direct impact on gastrointestinal health. It is best not to eat street food and takeaway to prevent the ingestion of unclean or expired ingredients, which can cause gastrointestinal problems.
4.Drink plenty of fluids. Drinking a moderate amount of water helps the body balance water and promotes gastrointestinal peristalsis, but drinking too much water may increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract and cause discomfort.
Overall, TCM diet plays an important role in gastrointestinal health. Through a reasonable diet, gastrointestinal diseases can be prevented and alleviated, and the quality of life can be improved. However, if there is a gastrointestinal problem, it is equally important to seek medical attention promptly. Start with your daily diet and take good care of your stomach and intestines!
