Behavioral habits of men that damage the gastrointestinal tract

　　healthy The human body is the foundation of everything, and healthy living and eating habits are the foundation of health. As the saying goes, prevention is worse than treatment, and dietary supplements are the best way to maintain good health. Not only do you need to supplement, but you also need to be able to supplement, otherwise it will be counterproductive. Healthy diet provides a comprehensive introduction to food ingredients, functions, pros and cons, etc. We hope our efforts can help everyone.

　　As the saying goes, "Ten stomachs and nine diseases" remind people: As an important digestive organ of the human body, the stomach is prone to disease and must be taken care of carefully. However, in fact, stomach health has been seriously neglected. Not only do some elderly patients often only take medicine when they feel stomach pain, but many young people are becoming elderly unintentionally. Stomach disease The patient’s “successor”.

　　1. “Not punctual”

　　“"Forgetting sleep and food" seems to have become a habit of many office workers. However, unintentionally eating a hungry or full meal will slowly erode the health of the stomach. In recent years, the incidence rates of functional dyspepsia, gastritis, and gastric ulcers have been increasing among busy white-collar workers.

　　The stomach is an organ that strictly adheres to a "schedule". The secretion of gastric juice has physiological peaks and troughs throughout the day to facilitate timely digestion of food. If gastric acid and pepsin are not neutralized by food, they will digest the gastric mucosa itself and cause damage to the gastric mucosa.

　　2. Overeating dinner

　　Forgetting breakfast in a hurry, making light lunches, "eating and drinking" at night, and having late night snacks before going to bed. A healthy digestive system is often destroyed in such eating habits. Director Tang Zhipeng pointed out that based on the daily caloric intake of the human body, the most appropriate proportion should be 30% for breakfast, 40% for lunch, and 30% for dinner.

　　Overeating dinner or eating late-night snacks before going to bed will not only affect sleep and lead to obesity, but also force the gastrointestinal tract to be overloaded with "intense work". Excessive secretion of gastric juice will corrode the gastric mucosa. If this happens for a long time, it will lead to erosion, ulcers, etc. disease。

　　3. Unclean diet

　　In midsummer, various pathogenic bacteria multiply rapidly, and food is prone to rot and spoilage. If you eat unclean or stale food, it can easily cause acute gastritis, with symptoms such as stomach pain, bloating, and vomiting.

　　Helicobacter pylori is an important pathogenic factor in the occurrence and development of many chronic gastric diseases, most of which are caused by unclean diet and mutual infection. Helicobacter pylori can parasitize in the mucosa of the stomach and duodenum, causing inflammation of the mucosa and causing gastric disease. This bacterium is also present in the patient's mouth and saliva, so meal sharing can reduce the chance of Helicobacter pylori infection. Especially when someone in the family suffers from gastric ulcer or gastritis, meal sharing becomes even more important.

　　4. Devouring

　　After food enters the stomach, it needs to be stored, ground, and digested to turn the food into chylous form before reaching the intestines. Developing the good habit of chewing slowly can increase saliva secretion and help food be better digested and absorbed. If you don't chew carefully and devour it, rough food will directly wear the gastric mucosa and increase the burden on the stomach, making the food stay in the stomach longer, causing gastric muscle fatigue and reduced gastric motility.

　　5. Cold

　　The stomach is an organ that is very sensitive to external climate and temperature. When the human body is stimulated by cold air, the stomach is prone to spasmodic contractions, which can cause stomach pain, indigestion, vomiting, diarrhea and other symptoms.

　　Most people pay attention to keeping warm in autumn and winter. However, in summer, eating too much cold drinks, cold fruits or staying in an air-conditioned environment for a long time can also cause the stomach to get cold, thus affecting gastrointestinal function.

　　6. Excessive fatigue

　　Whether you are engaged in physical work or mental work, long-term overload work will lead to excessive fatigue, which will not only reduce the body's resistance, but also weaken the defense function of the gastric mucosa. It can easily cause insufficient blood supply to the stomach and cause secretory dysfunction. Excessive gastric acid and reduced mucus will damage the gastric mucosa.

　　7. Mental stress

　　The occurrence and development of many gastric diseases are closely related to people's emotions and mentality. When a person is nervous, annoyed or angry, these negative emotions will affect gastric secretion, movement, digestion and other functions. Therefore, patients who have been depressed, anxious or traumatized for a long time are prone to gastric ulcers.

　　8. Excessive drinking

　　Drinking a small amount of red wine every day is good for your health. But if you drink too much, alcohol will not only damage your liver, cause skin Dehydration kills brain cells and directly damages the gastric mucosa, causing inflammation, erosion, ulcers or bleeding. In addition, drinking alcohol can delay the healing process of stomach ulcers. Therefore, patients with stomach problems should especially not drink alcohol.

　　9. Addicted to smoking

　　Tobacco not only damages the human respiratory system, but also damages the stomach. People who smoke too much tend to be more susceptible to gastritis. This is because the nicotine in tobacco can harm the gastric mucosa in the following ways: Promotes vasoconstriction and reduces the blood supply to the gastric mucosa ； Inhibits the synthesis of prostaglandins, a protective factor that repairs the gastric mucosa ； Interfere with the emptying function of the stomach and easily cause bile to reflux into the stomach. Bile salts and other components in bile have a strong damaging effect on the gastric mucosa. ； Promote the secretion of gastric acid and pepsin, directly corroding the gastric mucosa.

　　10. Drug abuse

　　Many drugs can damage the gastric mucosa. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as phenylbutazone, indomethacin, ibuprofen, and aspirin can relieve pain by inhibiting the synthesis of prostaglandins that protect the gastric mucosa. There are also hormonal drugs such as corticosteroids, which often lead to gastritis, ulcers or gastric perforation. Therefore, these drugs should be taken according to medical advice, preferably after meals, or at the same time while taking gastric mucosal protective agents such as sucralfate.
