Please be kind to your stomach!

According to Star Video: Liu, a 16-year-old girl from Ningbo, felt stomach pain and couldn't eat half a year ago. After medical examination, Liu was diagnosed with advanced gastric cancer. After understanding, the doctor learned that Liu liked to eat snacks since she was a child. She almost always ate spicy strips, grilled skewers, and instant noodles instead of regular meals for three meals a day. The doctor quickly made a plan to perform a total gastrectomy on Liu, and Liu was discharged from the hospital on the eighth day after the operation. Currently, Liu is receiving postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy.

As the body's digestive organ, the stomach has the ability to store and digest food and works very efficiently. When you eat too much or too late, it may warn you with symptoms such as abdominal pain, stomach pain, and acid reflux, leading to diseases such as gastric ulcers, gastritis, and gastric cancer.

Upper abdominal pain is the most typical symptom of gastric ulcer, which often occurs one hour after a meal, and usually follows the pattern of "eating-pain-relief". Clinical data show that about 2 out of 100 gastric ulcer patients suffer from gastric cancer. When patients experience "pain that is no longer regular" and "upper abdominal pain that cannot be relieved by antacids", they should be alert to the occurrence of "cancer".

In my country, the incidence of gastric cancer ranks second among all malignant tumors, and the mortality rate ranks in the top three. The number of deaths accounts for 25% of all cancers. Therefore, it has another title: "a country with a high incidence of gastric diseases."

The evolution from a normal stomach to gastric cancer requires an evolutionary process, namely: normal gastric mucosa - chronic superficial gastritis - chronic atrophic gastritis - intestinal metaplasia, atypical hyperplasia - gastric cancer. However, 80% of patients have no symptoms in the early stage, and a few people will have symptoms such as abdominal discomfort and indigestion, which are mostly found during physical examinations and are common in men aged 40-70.

Therefore, do the following things to protect your stomach:

Dietary rules: Breakfast should be between 6:00-8:00, lunch should be between 11:00-13:00, dinner should be between 17:00-19:00

Healthy diet: To avoid gastric cancer caused by Helicobacter pylori infection, you should have fewer gatherings, use serving chopsticks, and eat less fried and roadside food.

Quit smoking and limit alcohol consumption: As the saying goes, "Diseases come from the mouth", so quit smoking and limit alcohol consumption, and drink less strong tea.

Pay attention to physical examinations: It is recommended that people over the age of 40 have physical examinations twice a year for early detection and prevention.

Regulate emotions: The stomach is known as the "second brain" and is easily affected by emotions. You should learn to regulate your emotions appropriately.
