Avoid Diseases By Taking Care Of Your Stomach

Your stomach is located in the center of the body where many of your vital functions take place. It processes the food you eat and can even affect your mood, your energy level and your joy. Want to know more about how to take care of your stomach and prevent stomach-related diseases? Then read today’s article.

Besides being an aesthetic problem, a flat stomach is actually good for your health. And if you keep your stomach in good shape, you will also feel more comfortable. As they say “good health starts in the stomach”. On the other hand, if your stomach is not functioning properly, you will experience mood swings, feel tired with dull skin, and you will most likely also start gaining weight. All this because your body has serious problems removing the toxins and wastes that have accumulated in the bloodstream.

As suggested above, your skin may be a warning sign that something is wrong with your stomach. It may look dull, greasy or unclean.

• Bad breath (halitotis)
• Rough sensation in the mouth
• White tongue
• Stomach ache
• Bloated stomach
• Gas in the stomach
• No appetite
• Nausea
• Burping
• Constipation
• Diarrhea
• Indigestion

All of these signs may indicate that you have problems somewhere in your digestive system. If you suffer from one (or more) of these symptoms, it is important that you start an appropriate treatment so that you can help your stomach recover in the best possible way.

If, after looking at the list of symptoms above, you find that something is wrong with your stomach, then the next step is to be careful about what you eat.

Sometimes you may not be aware that you are eating something that is harmful to your health and you therefore eat it without much thought. In most cases, this is the cause of stomach problems including pain, swelling and bloating, gas and constipation.

The biggest culprits are whole milk or unpasteurized milk and strong cheeses. But all dairy products settle “heavily” in your stomach. Some people think it is due to the artificial ingredients that are added to them, while others claim that the reason is that we as mammals become lactose intolerant after breastfeeding. Either way, the fact is that most people do not feel comfortable after eating dairy products. This is because our body lacks an enzyme needed to digest lactose and because it “sticks” to the intestinal walls. This causes inflammation in the stomach, as well as gas, indigestion and accumulation of toxins and fat.

What do we mean by this? If you can only manage an hour or two without eating, snack all the time or always have candy or chewing gum in your mouth. This means that your stomach has to work all the time and does not have time to relax, which creates discomfort, indigestion, poor absorption of nutrients, pain, etc.

We are not saying that you can not eat different foods at the same time, but there are certain combinations to watch out for. Nutritionists say it depends on the person, but generally it is not recommended to eat carbohydrates and proteins in the same meal if you have stomach problems. To digest carbohydrates, your stomach needs an alkaline pH, while the digestion of protein requires a more acidic pH. This means that your stomach has to work extremely hard, and therefore it is best if they are taken separately – for example, one type during lunch and the other for dinner.

You have probably read that you should drink at least two liters of water a day. This is not a random quantity. If you do not consume enough water, it causes a heavier digestion and difficulty going to the toilet (constipation). But still try to stick to a single glass of water during meals so that you do not dilute the stomach pH and make digestion more difficult.

You are overcooking your food

Of course, there are some foods that can not be eaten raw, but sometimes you overcook your food. This removes the nutrients from the food and can actually cause damage to your stomach. Try to eat more raw foods (fruits and vegetables, thank you), whether it is summer or winter. Juices and smoothies can help satisfy your appetite, provide you with nutrients, while avoiding overcooking food.

Red meat lacks the fiber needed for good bowel movements. Therefore, people who consume too much red meat tend to experience colitis, hemorrhoids, constipation and diverticulosis. Remember, your stomach has an elongated shape and a very long intestinal tract, which means that the food is in the body for a long time before it is broken down. This increases the amount of toxins that accumulate in the bloodstream. If you absolutely must eat red meat, do so with a fresh salad filled with vegetables and try not to eat it more than twice a week.

• Drink tea made from medicinal herbs such as chamomile, anise and mint
• Exercise more to stimulate your intestines
• Eat more fiber from whole grains
• Avoid disturbing products such as alcohol, coffee and vinegar
• Chew slowly and enjoy every bite of your food. Do not eat fast or cut your food into small pieces.
• Avoid eating while angry, nervous or worried

Remember to take care of your stomach – you can stay healthy and well and avoid many diseases!
