Xiao Wang, 29, is a programmer at an Internet company. For a long time, he worked under pressure, often stayed up late and worked overtime, and his diet was irregular. Recently, Xiao Wang always feels stomach discomfort, flatulence after meals, and often has symptoms of acid reflux and belching.
Finally, after a severe stomach pain attack, Xiao Wang decided to go to the hospital for a look. Dr. Zhao from the Department of Gastroenterology performed a series of tests on him and diagnosed him with chronic superficial gastritis.
"Xiao Wang, your gastric mucosa has developed a certain degree of inflammation. Dr. Zhao pointed to the gastroscopy image and said, "If this situation is not controlled in time, it is likely to deteriorate into atrophic gastritis and even gastric ulcers." "
Hearing this, Xiao Wang couldn't help but get nervous: "Doctor, what should I do?
Dr. Zhao smiled and said earnestly, "Medication is important, but it is more important to improve your lifestyle, especially your diet. Do you usually eat some spicy and pungent food? Also, I see that your face is red, are you addicted to alcohol?"
Xiao Wang nodded as if he didn't understand: "I have a lot of work pressure and a lot of socializing, I really like to drink a little wine, and I also like spicy flavors when I go to drink." In addition, I also love to eat red dates, I think the sweetness is very decompressing, and I eat a lot of it every time. Are these foods bad for the stomach?"
"You mentioned three key words: spicy, alcohol, and red dates, which can be said to be 'accomplices' of stomach problems. Dr. Zhao patiently explained, "Although spicy food can stimulate gastric acid secretion and increase appetite, long-term consumption will lead to chronic damage to the gastric mucosa; Alcohol will directly corrode the gastric mucosa and aggravate inflammation; As for jujubes, although they have high nutritional value, they are warm and sweet, easy to help dampness and heat, which is undoubtedly worse for the already damaged gastric mucosa. These '3 reds' are all things that patients with stomach problems should try to avoid. "
Xiao Wang suddenly realized: "It turns out that my usual bad eating habits are all hurting my stomach! Doctor, in addition to staying away from the '3 reds', what else do I need to pay attention to?"
"Quitting the '3 reds' is only the first step, and it is more important to actively 'do the 3 things well'. Dr. Zhao took out a leaflet, pointed to the text on it and said: "First of all, you should have a regular work and rest, go to bed early and get up early, and don't stay up late; The second is a reasonable diet, so that it is regular and quantitative, light and less oily; Finally, it is necessary to maintain a good mood and learn to relieve stress. These '3 things' may seem simple, but they are often overlooked. In fact, they are no less important for stomach health than medication. "
Xiao Wang nodded again and again, taking the doctor's advice to heart. From that day on, he began to deliberately stay away from spicy food, tobacco and alcohol, and never dared to eat more red dates. At the same time, he also tried to go to bed early and wake up early, eat small and frequent meals, and learn to relax with exercise and meditation. Gradually, Xiao Wang's stomach discomfort was reduced, and his mental state was much better than before.
Xiao Wang in the story reflects the stomach health problems of many young people in modern times. Poor eating habits and lifestyles are threatening their digestive system. In particular, the "3 reds" of spicy, alcohol and red dates are important triggers for the high incidence of stomach problems.
It should be pointed out that many people have misunderstandings about jujubes, thinking that it is a good health product, and it is okay to eat more. As everyone knows, although jujubes are good, they are warm and sweet, and should not be eaten excessively, especially for patients with stomach problems, they should be treated with caution. As the saying goes, "things must be reversed", if you don't do it enough, no matter how good the ingredients are, eating too much will backfire.
Of course, "staying away from 3 reds" is not an easy task. In the face of the pressure of fast-paced life, many people are accustomed to venting their emotions with spicy and stimulating food and alcohol, but they do not realize that behind this short-term "refreshing" is a heavy burden on the digestive system. It takes determination and perseverance to change bad eating habits, but no matter how difficult it is, you have to take the first step for stomach health.
At the same time, we should take the initiative to "do three things": regular work and rest, reasonable diet, and maintain a happy mood. This may seem simple, but it's the most overlooked. Many people have long lost their circadian rhythm in their busy work and life, their diet is irregular, and their psychological pressure is accumulating. As everyone knows, these unhealthy lifestyles are the "invisible killers" that induce stomach problems.
Nourishing the stomach is never an overnight thing. It requires us to take a holistic look at our lives, starting from small habits and building a healthy lifestyle subtly. Perhaps, we can't quit all bad habits at once, but as long as we are willing to take the first step and persevere, we will eventually reap our own healthy life.
