Eight principles of diet for patients with stomach diseases

1. Diet should be light: diet should be light, less fat and sweet food. "The stomach likes to be light and afraid of many grains", light food is nourishing the stomach, and plain food is easy for the human body to digest and absorb, and it is easy to protect the stomach. One of the great characteristics of Chinese health practitioners is that they advocate people to eat plain food. This concept has been tested by practice and is more and more understood and confirmed by the world. 2. Diet should be less: that is to say, moderate amount of blending, less food can nourish the stomach, less dinner, less sticky, hard and indigestible food, less meat and greasy food, less pickled food, less fragrant and dry fried food, less tea and less alcohol. Especially for the middle-aged and old people, it's better to eat three meals a day with 80% satiety. Modern studies suggest that food restriction can lead to longevity. In 1935, McCarthy reported his experiment on food restriction in rats, which proved that the life span of hungry rats was much longer than that of full rats. This is the famous "McCarthy effect". Later, some scientists repeated the experiment, proving that dieting can improve life. Some research reports show that: food restriction can keep the body's immunity young, delay the aging of thymus, reduce the level of free radical reaction, reduce the accumulation of aging substances in heart, brain and other organs, and delay the aging of organs. Some patients with stomach diseases eat less and are afraid of insufficient nutrition all day long, causing psychological burden. Originally, the stomach is sick, digestion and absorption is not good, but also hope to eat more, think that eating more is helpful to the body. In fact, it backfires. If you eat more when you have a serious stomach disease, it will cause the attack of the disease. Therefore, patients with stomach disease would rather take less than more. 3. Diet should be slow: mainly refers to chewing slowly. There are three kinds of food that are beneficial to people: (1) chewing the essence of food can nourish five viscera. (2) The spleen and stomach are suitable for digestion. (3) No swallowing, choking or choking. According to the latest research data: in the process of fully chewing food, saliva will secrete a lot, saliva contains a large number of enzymes, which can help digest various nutrients in food. After saliva enters the stomach, it forms a very ideal protective layer for the gastric wall, greatly reducing the damage to the gastric wall. In the process of chewing, the enzymes secreted by gastrointestinal tract and pancreas will also increase greatly, promoting the digestion and absorption of food.

4. Diet should be clean: diet should be clean, do not eat dirty food. Raw vegetables, melons and fruits to wash, in order to prevent pesticide, chemical fertilizer pollution poisoning. Diet should be clean, including the production process, chef's hygiene, storage and utensils, tableware supply cleaning. "Filthy food, diet, disheartened meat, eating all hurt people." It has been confirmed that: eating peanut contaminated by Aspergillus flavus is suitable for liver cancer; some Japanese people eat rice mixed with lubricating powder, because the powder contains a lot of quartz fiber, resulting in gastric cancer. 5. Diet should be soft: mainly do not eat hard food, do not eat indigestible food, such as sunflower seeds, fried peanuts and other dried fruits, as well as fried, tough, half cooked things. If these foods are not chewed carefully, they are not suitable for digestion, or even stab stomach collaterals, causing erosion or bleeding. People with stomach diseases, such as cooking, melons, vegetables, fish and so on, must be very soft and rotten for easy digestion and absorption. Bleeding, erosive gastritis, ulcers must be soft food, or even liquid food, semi liquid food.

6. Diet should be warm: warm food is a protection for the stomach, but at the same time, avoid scalding food. Scalding food is very harmful to the stomach and esophagus. If you drink 500C hot water continuously for one month, it can cause esophageal epithelial cell proliferation. 800 C hot water will cause immediate damage to the esophagus and stomach. People with stomach diseases like to eat hot food, which is comfortable after entering the stomach. In fact, this is the biggest damage to the stomach and esophagus. 7. Diet should be fresh: first, it refers to the right amount of fresh vegetables and fruits. The anti-cancer effect of vegetables and fruits has been fully affirmed; the second is to eat fresh food instead of stale and overnight food, including some pickled food; the third is to eat more fresh food.

matters needing attention

Diet should be refined: the diet should be refined, do not eat coarse and coarse fiber food, especially for patients with gastrointestinal bleeding, sometimes need no residue diet, in order to reduce the stimulation of food fiber on gastrointestinal mucosa and aggravate the disease. "The Analects of Confucius" said: "eat not tired of fine, eat not tired of fine." Some scholars have pointed out that although crude fiber food is conducive to cancer prevention, it also has the disadvantage of "anti nutrients", especially it can combine with minerals in food to reduce the absorption and utilization of minerals by human body. Therefore, dietary fiber intake should be limited.
