Taking Care of Your Stomach: Tips for a Healthy Digestion

December 24, 2023

According to reports, the daily stress and staying up late can affect our health, especially our stomach health. With the faster pace of life, people's work pressure is increasing, leading to a lack of attention to stomach health and even causing stomach problems for most people. So how can we effectively take care of our stomach in daily life?

【Eating Regularly】

Have regular meals. Maintaining a regular daily routine is the first step to stomach health. The stomach's function is based on the state of hunger throughout the day. Have three meals at regular times, and do not skip or eat very little. Maintain a balanced diet.

【Drink Soup before Meals】

Drink soup before meals. Drinking a cup of hot soup before a meal can not only help lubricate the esophagus, but also promote digestion and absorption, reducing the chance of developing stomach problems. However, the soup should not be greasy and should be light in taste. Many people choose to drink soup after meals, but in fact, drinking soup before meals is more beneficial for stomach maintenance.

【Pay Attention to Diet, Use Food Therapy to Take Care of the Stomach】

Pay attention to diet and use food therapy to take care of the stomach. Avoid consuming highly stimulating foods in daily life, such as raw, cold, spicy, alcohol, strong tea, deep-fried and barbecued foods. Eat more foods like milk, honey, peanuts, and carrots, which are good for spleen and stomach health. Coarse grains like coarse tea and light rice are also beneficial for stomach health.

【Avoid Sleeping Immediately after Eating】

Avoid sleeping immediately after eating. Many people choose to lie down and watch TV or go to sleep after a meal, which is actually unhealthy and puts additional burden on the stomach. Sleeping immediately after a meal reduces the body's mobility, weakens the digestive system function, and may cause food stagnation or indigestion.


【Exercise Moderately after Meals】

Exercise moderately after meals. As the saying goes, "Take a hundred steps after a meal and you will live to be ninety-nine." Approximately half an hour after a meal, you can engage in moderate exercise, like taking a walk in the park, which can effectively promote digestion. However, avoid strenuous exercise immediately after a meal. Moderate exercise helps stomach motility and relieves stomach pressure.

【Eat Noodles and Drink Soup】

Eat noodles and drink soup. Noodles are the most stomach-friendly food as they are not only nutritious but also easy to digest. In fact, drinking soup while eating noodles is even better for the stomach, as it promotes digestion and adds flavor. People with stomach problems can have noodles for breakfast and dinner. This is beneficial for stomach health.
