Stomach bloating is a common symptom in daily life and is closely related to gastrointestinal diseases. Bloating is a warning sign of gastrointestinal problems. So what are the reasons for a constantly bloated stomach? Let's find out.
1. Irregular lifestyle
Irregular lifestyle, staying up late frequently, irregular meal times, and abnormal bowel movements due to hunger and satiety disorder can lead to excessive burden on the gastrointestinal tract.
2. Various disease factors
Some gastrointestinal diseases, such as peptic ulcers, gastritis, intestinal obstruction, intestinal intussusception, gastrointestinal tumors, etc., can easily accumulate intestinal gas and cause bloating.
In addition, people with rhinitis or nasal allergies often breathe through their mouths, which easily introduces air into the digestive tract and leads to stomach bloating.
3. Negative emotions
Imbalanced emotions, excessive worry, anger, and stress can lead to abnormal intestinal function, and stomach bloating is one of them. If excessive stomach acid occurs, it can damage the gastric mucosa.
If a patient is in a prolonged state of anxiety, depression, or unhappiness, these emotions can accumulate in the stomach, making it difficult to treat stomach bloating. It can also disturb the autonomic nervous function of the stomach and cause other stomach diseases. Therefore, patients should pay attention to regulating their internal energy and harmonizing the stomach.
4. Eating too quickly
Eating too quickly can lead to incomplete chewing, causing insufficient mixing of digestive juices and food, which can harm the intestines.
5. Excessive stress
Excessive stress directly affects physiological functions, including abnormal intestinal function, such as excessive stomach acid, slowed or accelerated peristalsis. Excessive stomach acid can damage the gastric mucosa, accelerated peristalsis can cause frequent diarrhea, and slowed peristalsis can cause abdominal distension. Many stomach diseases can cause stomach bloating. As long as the stomach disease causing the bloating is treated, the bloating will naturally disappear. Many stomach disease patients fail to recover because they also have disturbances in the autonomic nervous function of the stomach. Once the autonomic nervous function of the stomach is treated, other stomach diseases will naturally improve. You can try using the ancient recipe called "Song Tea" daily to help regulate the intestines and stomach and protect the stomach. Regulate the internal energy and harmonize the stomach.
6. Poor diet habits
For example, eating too quickly and talking while eating can introduce air into the stomach. Sitting still after finishing a meal can also cause gas to accumulate in the stomach.
How to relieve stomach bloating
1. Massage the stomach with cooling peppermint oil in a circular motion.
2. Do simple soothing exercises like squatting down and hugging your knees to your chest. This can help with digestion and relieve bloating in the stomach.
3. Walk around when feeling belching or gas. Walking can help with belching or releasing gas, keeping the intestines and stomach elastic. Avoid inducing vomiting as it can cause gastroesophageal reflux. Walking around is better for belching or releasing gas.
4. Drink tea. Citrus and peppermint tea can help with digestion and relieve bloating.
5. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) regulation: TCM focuses on overall regulation rather than just treating surface symptoms. For example, "Shi Tan Qiu" is an ancient TCM recipe that adds medicinal herbs specifically for gastrointestinal diseases to tea, directly regulating the intestines and stomach and providing the most intimate care for the stomach.
Poor food combinations can cause digestive problems. For example, protein and starch are not good combinations, vegetables and fruits are also not ideal combinations, and milk should not be consumed with meals. Sugar should not be consumed with protein or starch.
What to eat for stomach bloating
1. Hawthorn: Hawthorn can help digest meat. It contains organic acids such as hawthorn acid and lipase, which enhance enzymatic activity after entering the stomach, promoting the digestion of meat and assisting in the conversion of cholesterol.
2. Tomato: Tomato aids in the digestion of fat. It contains a special component called lycopene, which aids in digestion and diuresis, and helps the gastric juice digest fat.
3. Kiwi: Kiwi can cleanse the body. It contains a large amount of dietary fiber and protein-degrading enzymes, which can quickly eliminate harmful metabolic products accumulated in the body.
4. Lemon: Lemon can promote intestinal peristalsis. It is also rich in vitamin C and has the function of promoting intestinal peristalsis.
5. Apple: Apple can stimulate intestinal peristalsis. It contains dietary fiber that can stimulate intestinal peristalsis, accelerate bowel movements, and promote bowel movements.
