Stomach ache in winter

Winter is a cold season, especially in the severe cold weather with very low temperatures, people should take more measures to keep their bodies warm. But young people nowadays don’t pay attention to adding clothes to themselves. Even in a very cold winter, they still wear more fashionable clothes. For the sake of fashion, they don’t care about warmth, nor do they feel that they will be colder. But the weather in winter is very cold, which can easily cause various diseases. What causes stomachache in winter?

Winter is here, beware of 3 kinds of "pain" in your body, it may be the onset of stomach problems

1. Stomach pain

Patients with stomach problems often feel abdominal pain, acid reflux, and nausea after meals. If the abdominal pain persists for a period of time after a meal, it is likely due to a bad stomach, gastroenteritis, or gastric ulcer. At this time, we should keep the stomach warm or be selective in food.

Some people may also experience vomiting and diarrhea when they have severe stomach pain. If you find that your stomach has a dull pain from time to time, you must eat less high-fat, spicy, raw and cold foods to avoid secondary stimulation of the stomach and intestines.

2. Chest pain

Some people may wonder why the stomach in the abdominal cavity can cause chest pain. In fact, this is mostly due to indirect chest pain caused by stomach disease. The patient may feel intermittent pain in the chest. When the stomach disease occurs, it can be very uncomfortable, so in daily life, we should pay more attention to the importance of nourishing the stomach.

3. Stomach pain

After suffering from gastric disease, the frequency of stomach pain may become higher and higher. When sleeping at night, the stomach will repair itself. You should try to eat less food before going to bed to allow the stomach to digest and absorb completely. If you feel a dull pain in your stomach frequently in the middle of the night, it is very likely that you have a duodenal ulcer or inflammation. Don't take it lightly!

Why is winter the peak season for stomach problems?

Reason 1: The temperature is lower in winter. In order to warm up their bodies, people like to eat hot food such as hot pot and soup. Also, because the temperature is low and the wind is strong in winter, most office workers choose to "sit instead of stand if they can, lie down instead of sit" when they get home from get off work at night. There is very little exercise, which can easily increase the burden on the stomach and intestines because food cannot be fully digested and absorbed in time.

Reason 2: People's gastric mucosa needs blood vessels to transport nutrients through blood, but when the temperature is cold, people may contract their blood vessels due to the cold, affecting blood circulation, so that the gastric mucosa cannot get sufficient blood nourishment, causing stomach diseases such as gastric ulcers.

Reason 3: The stomach also has its own "biological clock". In winter, people generally like to stay in bed and eat hot food, which often affects the normal functioning of the stomach and intestines, reduces stomach function, and causes stomach problems.

If you don’t want to suffer from unbearable pain when your stomach disease attacks, you should first take good care of your stomach, repair the gastric mucosa, and protect your stomach and intestines from irritation. This will make your body healthier!
