      Avoid mental stress

      When a person is nervous, annoyed, or angry, his or her bad emotions can spread to the limbic system through the cerebral cortex and affect plants. nerve System, directly leads to gastrointestinal dysfunction, secretes excessive gastric acid and pepsin, causes gastric vasoconstriction, pyloric spasm, emptying disorder, damage to the protective layer of gastric mucosa, causing self-digestion and the formation of ulcers.

      2. Avoid excessive fatigue

      Whether it is physical work or mental work, if you are overtired, it will cause insufficient gastrointestinal blood supply, secretory dysfunction, excessive gastric acid and reduced mucus, causing damage to the mucous membrane. Modern people eat everything, but their stomachs have not become stronger because of this, but have become more and more fragile. Many people like to call friends at night, meet for late-night snacks, and reward their tired bodies. As everyone knows, this is not a good time to supplement nutrition. "The better you eat, the more your stomach will suffer."

      Three taboos: excessive drinking and excessive drinking

      Alcohol itself can directly damage the gastric mucosa. Alcohol can also cause liver cirrhosis and chronic pancreatitis, which in turn aggravates gastric damage.

      Four taboos: addiction to smoking

      Smoking can promote gastric mucosal vasoconstriction and reduce gastric mucosal prostaglandin synthesis, which is a mucosal protective factor. Smoking can also stimulate the secretion of gastric acid and protease, aggravating the damage to the mucosa.

      Five taboos: uneven hunger and fullness

      When you are hungry, the gastric acid and protease in the stomach are not neutralized by food, and the concentration is high, which can easily cause self-digestion of the mucous membrane. Overeating can easily damage the self-protection mechanism of the stomach; excessive expansion of the stomach wall and excessive retention of food can lead to gastric damage.

      Six taboos: eating unclean food

      Helicobacter pylori infection is one of the important causes of gastric and duodenal ulcers. In ulcer patients, the detection rate of this bacterium is as high as 70%-90%. After the ulcer is cured, the bacterium also disappears. Patients with ulcers can be infected through close contact with tableware, dental tools, and kissing. Dirty food is also one of the causes of infection.

      Seven taboos: Overeating dinner

      Some people tend to focus their day's food nutrition on dinner, or like to eat late-night snacks or something before going to bed. Doing so not only causes unreliable sleep and easily leads to obesity, but can also induce ulcer formation by stimulating the gastric mucosa and causing excessive gastric acid secretion.
