      Don’t drink milk on an empty stomach

Because the protein, fat and sugar in milk can cause gastric acid secretion. If this happens for a long time, it may cause damage to the stomach and aggravate reflux symptoms when fasting at night. ”Zheng Qing usually drinks milk at any time during the day so as not to hurt her stomach.

      Try to drink as little carbonated drinks as possible

However, experts say that the gas in carbonated drinks can easily cause flatulence. Such drinks contain high calories and various additives and should not be consumed in large quantities.

Smoking and alcoholism are also "accomplices". Zheng Qing told reporters: “Eating supper in the middle of the night is not a good habit.

      In fact, the stomach is not very delicate

      Many outpatients are overly concerned about their stomachs when they seek medical treatment. But in fact, the stomach is not very delicate. Zheng Qing said: “A healthy stomach has a gastric mucosal barrier with complete self-protection. I often tell patients to understand their own gastric conditions and adapt to their individual conditions. For example: I usually like to eat spicy food, but I am careful not to eat it on an empty stomach to reduce stomach irritation. In a healthy state, if you don't feel uncomfortable, it doesn't hurt to eat spicy food. ”
