Indigestion, what are the common causes?

1. Overeating

In winter, people tend to have a strong appetite, especially fried and grilled foods. These foods are particularly likely to cause gastrointestinal problems, such as indigestion. Don't eat too fast, because if the food is not fully chewed in the mouth, it will increase the digestive burden of the stomach.

2. Irregular eating habits

During the Chinese New Year, many people have extremely irregular diets because they are on holiday. However, in order to digest food, our stomach will regularly secrete gastric juice. When the gastric juice is secreted but there is no food in the stomach to neutralize it, it will slowly digest the gastric mucosa itself and cause damage to the gastric mucosa. Long-term irregular eating will often irritate the gastric mucosa, cause stomach damage, and affect stomach digestion.

3. Cold

The human stomach is actually quite sensitive. When the abdomen is cold or inhaled with cold air, the stomach is irritated, which can easily cause indigestion, stomachache, etc. Therefore, we should pay special attention to it in the cold winter.

4. Bad living habits

Habits such as staying up late, drinking alcohol, smoking, and drinking strong tea will affect the normal functioning of the intestinal system and other tissues.

5. Lack of exercise

Many people often sit at work, and sit or lie down when they get home, and their bodies obviously lack exercise. Especially in winter, when the weather is cold, people's activities are reduced. However, if the human body lacks exercise, gastrointestinal motility will slow down, which can easily cause indigestion.

How to improve indigestion?

1. Eat one meal, rest one meal

After indigestion, in order to improve stomach discomfort and not increase the burden on the stomach, you can eat one meal and rest the next according to your own situation. Stop eating solid food intermittently and drink some rice paste, vegetable and fruit juice, etc.

2. Pay more attention to your diet

People who often suffer from indigestion should eat light food and avoid irritation of gastric mucosa by raw, cold, spicy and stimulating food. They should also pay attention to regularity, timing and quantity of three meals.

3. Take probiotics

Eating too much meat will increase the number of bad bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract, and too many bad bacteria will lead to an unhealthy intestinal environment. At this time, you can add some probiotics to regulate the intestinal flora. For example, you can drink yogurt before or after meals. Yogurt is added with probiotic dairy fermentation agents that are helpful to the health of the human gastrointestinal tract, which can increase appetite and promote digestion.

4. Drink plenty of water

If you drink too little water, your stomach and intestines will not be fully moistened, which will slow down the peristalsis of the gastrointestinal tract and easily cause indigestion. Therefore, in daily life, you must pay attention to daily water supplementation and develop good drinking habits. But avoid drinking a lot of water before and after meals.

During the Chinese New Year, in order to avoid indigestion, everyone must pay attention to their diet and daily routine. Don't let yourself go just because it's a holiday.
