      1. 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 mucosa.

      2. Avoid 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.

      3. 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, pylorus spasm, emptying disorder, damage to the protective layer of gastric mucosa, causing self-digestion (digestion of food), and formation of ulcers.

      4. Avoid becoming addicted 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.

      5. Avoid 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.
