When it comes to stomach maintenance, there are various "secrets" circulating on the Internet: drinking milk, drinking Congee, eating less and more meals, eating more vegetables and less meat. Some people directly summarize stomach maintenance as "less". The reporter noticed that the topic of "nourishing the stomach" has been viewed up to 570 million times on social media, among which eating pork tripe and beef tripe in a "shape to shape" way is very popular. But can these methods really nourish the stomach? Is it suitable for everyone again? The reporter interviewed Liang Wei, the director and chief physician of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department of the Air Force Hospital of the Eastern Theater Command, as well as a Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Whether drinking Congee is to nourish the stomach or hurt the stomach "In fact, in the outpatient clinic, patients with chronic stomach disease often ask whether the online stomach nourishing method is reliable." Liang Wei told reporters that some statements are reasonable, but not too absolute, and it should be emphasized that the stomach nourishing method should also distinguish between different groups of people, combine reality, and treat dialectically. For example, the most common "drinking Congee and eating badly cooked food" and "eating less and more meals, more vegetarians and less meat" actually have the same starting point, which is to reduce the burden on the stomach and let the stomach get some rest. For people with stomach discomfort or weak digestive system, they really have a certain stomach nourishing effect. But for some people with stomach diseases, drinking Congee can not nourish the stomach, but may hurt the stomach. For example, patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease who are prone to pantothenic acid and heartburn may develop gastroesophageal reflux if they drink too much Congee; In addition, Congee will stimulate the stomach to secrete a large amount of gastric acid, which will stimulate ulcers and erosive surface. For patients with gastric ulcer, it may also aggravate the disease. For healthy individuals, it is not advisable to eat in this way for a long time. Director Liang Wei pointed out that firstly, if one eats soft food for a long time, as the stomach gradually adapts, the digestive ability will decrease to a certain extent; The second is that people who eat porridge or vegetarian food for a long time have too few nutrients and lack high-quality protein, vitamins and minerals needed by the human body, resulting in unbalanced nutrition. "For patients with abnormal gastric function and excessive gastric acid secretion, eating fewer and eating more meals can reduce the pressure of single gastric work, but it is not suitable for healthy individuals. Instead, there is a risk of weight gain, decreased nutritional quality, and sleep disturbances." She added. Will milk form a protective film on the stomach wall? The idea of drinking milk to nourish the stomach is also highly controversial on the internet. Some people believe that "milk will form a protective film on the stomach wall! If the stomach is not good, you should drink more!" However, some people also ask, "Why does drinking milk make my stomach uncomfortable?" Director Liang Wei explained that the statement "milk will form a protective film on the stomach wall" has no medical basis. For gastric ulcer patients, drinking more milk or on an empty stomach can actually stimulate and damage the gastric mucosa, and some people are prone to diarrhea, which can also increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract. Is "supplementing the shape with shape" effective? For a long time, eating pork waist to tonify the kidney, eating pig brain to tonify the brain, drinking bone soup to supplement calcium, and eating fish eyes to improve eyesight have been widely circulated. For people with poor stomachs, can they eat pork or beef tripe to "supplement"? Liang Wei explained, "'Supplementing form with form 'is an early thinking method in traditional Chinese medicine. For example, pig tripe and cow tripe do have certain functions of invigorating the spleen and stomach, supplementing deficiency and damage, but the effect cannot be exaggerated. Especially when patients already have stomach problems, medication is needed for conditioning treatment."
