Precautions for nourishing stomach in middle-aged and elderly people
1. Eat high fiber foods: high fiber foods such as potatoes, pasta, beans, cabbage, cauliflower, onions and other vegetables are easy to produce gas in the intestines and stomach, and finally lead to abdominal distention.
2. Do not eat foods that are not easy to digest: hard foods such as fried beans and hard pancakes are not easy to digest and stay in the gastrointestinal tract for a long time, which may produce more gas and cause abdominal distention.
3. Change the habit of swallowing: eating too fast or eating while walking is easy to swallow a lot of air; Drinking drinks with a common straw will also let a lot of air sneak into the stomach and cause abdominal distention.
4. Bad mood: anxiety, worry, sadness, depression and other bad emotions may weaken digestive function, or stimulate the stomach to produce too much gastric acid, resulting in increased gastric qi and increased abdominal distention.
5. Physical exercise: an appropriate amount of exercise for about 1 hour a day will not only help overcome bad emotions, but also help the digestive system maintain normal function.
6. High fiber food: high fiber food does not only cause abdominal distention - sometimes on the contrary, it can reduce abdominal distention, especially after eating high-fat food. This is because high-fat foods are difficult to digest and absorb, so they often stay in the intestines and stomach for a long time. Once fiber is added, the blocked digestive system is likely to be dredged quickly.
7. Some diseases: for some diseases, abdominal distension is either a precursor or one of the symptoms. They include allergic enteritis, ulcerative colitis, bladder tumor, etc.
Health care methods for intestines and stomach of middle-aged and elderly people
1. Frequent inspection
In case of abnormal symptoms of digestive tract, go to the hospital for examination in time. Even if the situation is normal, gastrointestinal endoscopy and B-ultrasound examination should be done regularly. It is now recognized that fecal occult blood test is an effective method for early detection of gastrointestinal tumors. It is neither painful nor expensive. It can be sent for examination regularly. Those who have gastrointestinal polyps should be completely removed in time to avoid future problems.
2. Repair your teeth and form the habit of chewing and swallowing slowly
The elderly have loose and falling teeth, which will make the food chew incompletely in the mouth. Renovating teeth, chewing calmly and swallowing slowly strengthen the mechanical processing of food, which can not only reduce the burden of gastrointestinal tract, but also avoid the adverse stimulation of rough and hard food to gastrointestinal mucosa.
3. Avoid foods that are not easy to digest
Fried and fried food, undercooked meat, fish and eggs are not easy to digest. High fat foods can delay gastric emptying and should be eaten as little as possible.
4. Appropriately increase the consumption of cellulose rich foods
Cellulose can promote gastrointestinal movement, increase muscle tone and reduce the formation of gastrointestinal diverticulum. All kinds of fresh green vegetables, kelp and laver contain more cellulose. In addition to the high content of cellulose, oatmeal also contains a variety of trace elements and has the function of reducing blood lipid. You might as well eat more at ordinary times.
5. Strengthen systemic exercise
Especially the exercise of abdominal muscles can enhance the motor function of gastrointestinal tract and increase appetite. Strong abdominal muscles can make defecation easy and easy.
