What if the stomach is bad in summer? Teach you how to protect my stomach.

Every summer comes, gastrointestinal diseases enter a "high incidence period". Bian Xiao would like to remind you that in the hot summer, we should pay more attention to the gastrointestinal tract, and do daily prevention as early as possible to prevent "diseases from entering the mouth". In addition, improper summer heat can also cause gastrointestinal diseases. To protect the gastrointestinal tract in summer, we should pay attention to "cold protection" for the gastrointestinal tract from the diet and living environment. Why is there a high incidence of gastrointestinal diseases in summer ● The weather is hot in summer, and the temperature difference between air-conditioned rooms and outdoor is large. The stimulation of one cold and one hot makes the chemical component histamine acid in blood increase, and the secretion of gastric acid increases greatly, and the gastrointestinal tract is prone to spasmodic contraction, leading to abdominal pain. ● In the hot season, the human nervous system is often in a state of tension, the function of some secretory glands will be affected, and the digestive function will often be weakened. ● Sweat more in summer, drink more water, dilute stomach acid and reduce the secretion of digestive juice. ● Leftovers or cooked food are easily contaminated by bacteria, which can damage gastric mucosa; Eating a lot of cold drinks will make the blood vessels in the gastrointestinal tract contract suddenly, reduce the blood flow, make the normal physiological function of the gastrointestinal tract disorder, and have symptoms such as fullness, nausea, vomiting, anorexia, belching and burning pain in the upper abdomen after meals. When summer comes, the temperature is rising. Most citizens like to drink draft beer and eat snacks in some roadside food stalls to enjoy the cool, but many roadside food stalls are unsanitary, especially in summer, which are prone to deterioration, breed bacteria and bring health hazards to people. ● After entering the midsummer, in addition to unclean diet, it is easy to cause gastrointestinal diseases. Over-reliance on refrigerators and eating cold food is also the enemy of gastrointestinal health. Many people are used to seeing the refrigerator as a "safe" for food. They like to store a lot of food in the refrigerator for a long time and clean the refrigerator irregularly. As we all know, if food is kept in the refrigerator for too long, various bacteria, especially Escherichia coli, will multiply in a large number in a humid and cold environment. When food is taken out to eat, bacteria will invade the gastrointestinal tract, causing "refrigerator gastroenteritis". How to scientifically protect the intestines and stomach in summer In the high temperature environment, the metabolism speed of human body is accelerated, and electrolytes such as sodium and potassium in the body are lost faster. Therefore, we should pay more attention to the balance of nutrition in summer diet. The intake of protein cannot be reduced in summer. We should eat some fish, lean meat, chicken, eggs, dairy products and so on. Eat more soy products, fresh vegetables and fruits. On the premise of ensuring balanced nutrition, we should pay attention to light cooking methods, eat more digestible food and eat less fried, fried and grilled food. It is not advisable to overeat at every meal, especially for the elderly and children, whose digestive function is weak. It is advisable to eat seven or eight full meals. Put some garlic paste and vinegar in the cold salad, which can not only stimulate appetite and help digestion, but also sterilize and detoxify and prevent intestinal infectious diseases. Sweating is more in summer, and soup and porridge are very suitable for eating in the case of poor appetite. Drink mung bean soup, red bean soup, lily porridge, mung bean porridge, lotus seed soup and so on. Regular consumption can not only prevent heatstroke and clear heat, but also detoxify and stimulate appetite.
