What are the methods to protect gastric mucosa

The stomach is a very important digestive organ in our body. Everything we eat is digested by the stomach and then provided to our body with the nutrients it needs. If there is a problem with the stomach, it will have a great impact on our body. The gastric mucosa plays an extremely important protective role on our stomach, but the gastric mucosa itself is particularly fragile and can be damaged due to many reasons, such as damage caused by excessive stomach acid, or overeating that puts a heavy burden on the gastric mucosa, bad living habits, smoking and drinking, etc. Some negative emotional changes can also have an impact on the gastric mucosa. Now let’s talk about some ways to protect the gastric mucosa.

1. Don’t overeat

When eating, you should not overeat. Eating too much or too hungry will increase the burden on the stomach and intestines and cause damage to the gastric mucosa. You should eat until you are 70% to 80% full. If possible, it is best to add some snacks in the morning and afternoon so that you won’t be too hungry.

2. Eat more mutton and eat other meats with it.

Mutton is tender and is a warm food. Lamb has high nutritional value. Eating more mutton when eating hot pot can warm the spleen and stomach, making the stomach feel warm and comfortable. Nowadays, a lot of mutton is adulterated. When eating hot pot, you must choose a branded store to avoid eating fake mutton.

3. Eat acidic and spicy foods in moderation.

Eating too much vinegar and spicy food can cause great damage to the gastric mucosa, so these foods should be eaten in moderation and not too much. Especially for people with poor stomachs, they should eat vinegar and spicy foods in small amounts.

4. Do not drink strong alcohol in large quantities for a long time.

Strong liquor is very irritating to the gastric mucosa. If you drink excessively frequently, the damage to the gastric mucosa will continue, and the gastric mucosa will not be repaired in time, which will slowly cause stomach problems.

5. Eat more stomach-nourishing porridge.

Stomach-nourishing porridges, such as millet and pumpkin porridge, can play a good protective role on the stomach and intestines. So you should drink more on a regular basis.

6. Don’t be irritable or angry.

Irritable and angry emotions can cause abnormal functioning of various organs in the body, block blood circulation, and affect the stomach and intestines. Therefore, if you want to protect your stomach and intestines and gastric mucosa, you should maintain a relatively good mood.
