Correct eating habits are good for the stomach

We should eat three meals a day on time, eat moderate amounts at each meal, avoid being too hungry or too full, and avoid overeating. Do not eat 2 to 3 hours before going to bed. Eating before going to bed will not only affect the quality of sleep, but also easily increase the burden on the stomach and intestines, leading to gastric ulcers, gastric cancer and other diseases. Spicy, raw, cold, and overheated foods can irritate the digestive tract mucosa, causing diarrhea or digestive tract inflammation. Overheated food can easily cause mucosal damage, and raw and cold food is not easy to digest.

Hard food can damage esophageal epithelial cells and gastric mucosa, and easily induce esophageal cancer, gastric cancer, etc. People should try to eat less. The daily salt intake of adults should not exceed 5 grams. Excessive salt intake will increase the risk of high blood pressure, while too little salt intake cannot meet the normal physiological needs of the human body.

The more you chew your food, the smaller the food, which is more conducive to the full mixing of digestive juice and food, and the less burden on the gastrointestinal tract, the easier it is to digest and absorb nutrients. In addition, drinking a lot of water before or after a meal will dilute gastric juice, and soaking rice in soup will also affect the digestion of food.
