We are exposed to more and more temptations. They irritate us and make us overdo it. The results are a problematic stomach and intestines. That is why we all need to measure the amount of food we eat and be careful what we eat. Of course, this is not always possible, but in cases where we eat unhealthily, it should be in limited quantities so that the damage to our gastrointestinal tract is smaller.
Nutrition is a very important part of human life. It is our engine. Man is what he eats. That is why it is so important to consider what, when and how we consume.
In a time of constant change and new trends in various areas of life, not everyone really thinks about the quality of food. Everyday stress and tension have led to more and more frequent problems with the gastrointestinal tract (gastritis, ulcers, irritable bowel syndrome, etc.). The lack of time for normal and calm eating caused an increase in the consumption of the so-called fast food or in Bulgarian - semi-finished products.
Both alcohol and cigarettes contribute to gastrointestinal problems, which many people do not realize. All this affects the immune system and it cannot function normally. The result of all this is the appearance of more diseases, taking more drugs and disruption of the normal microflora in the body.
People with gastritis , especially in the acute phase, should be very careful about what they consume so as not to worsen the symptoms. For a start, it is necessary to switch to a lean diet during the exacerbation of the clinical picture. Eating a few days of lean food significantly improves the condition, as it gives rest to the gastrointestinal tract.
Getting enough water is also important . Juices are sources of vitamins and minerals for the body, so it is good to consume (applies to juices without preservatives and additives).
Then it is good to go on a light diet and consume a small amount of food in order to reduce the production of hydrochloric acid, which irritates the gastric mucosa.
Experts advise to eat mashed potatoes, fruits that contain less acid (such as bananas, watermelon, apricots, etc.), as well as vegetable juices. After a few days of more restricted regime, the patient can return to a normal diet, of course, following some rules - eating more often and in small portions (initially eating 5-6 times a day, then 4-5 times ).
Patients with gastritis, ulcers or other diseases of the gastrointestinal tract should monitor how their body reacts to the consumption of various foods and which of them lead to the appearance of complaints. Foods that are more aggressive to the gastric mucosa are excluded from the menu.
Coffee, alcohol, cabbage, legumes, spicy spices and fatty foods are strictly forbidden in such patients. They are difficult to digest and cause more gastric juice to be secreted.
Carbonated drinks are also not recommended, as well as whole milk.
Studies show that oatmeal is extremely good for the stomach. They contain substances that help protect the gastric mucosa from hydrochloric acid.
At the heart of the Christmas and New Year holidays, the main activity that stands out is eating and drinking. During this period, rich sofras, guests and a variety of temptations abound. And since it's hard not to try everything on the table, stomach problems aren't long in coming. The end of December and the beginning of January are a real challenge for our body. What could be done to save some unpleasant consequences (the most common and harmless are acids). One of the most important things is not to overeat (no matter how hard it is). Since many foods are mixed in one meal during this period, and they are still heavy, the least we can do is take smaller portions. It would be even better to avoid spicy and irritating to the lining of the stomach dishes - hot, greasy and others.
Alcohol and carbonated beverages are also plentiful, but there must be a measure for them. And let's not forget that we determine how our body feels - with what we eat and with the lifestyle we lead.
