10 ways to protect our stomach!

I love my stomach and I always try to protect it from any type of malicious activity. Here are a few ways through which we can always protect our stomach:

• Dietary laws: It was found that a regular quantitative eating habit with small gaps in meals help the digestive gland secretion more conducive to digestion. It gives a conditioned reflex and induces gland secretion of stomach.
• Quantitative timing: Eat quantitatively. Meals should be moderate– three meals a day regularly regardless of stomach hunger. Do not take excess of food at a time and also avoid big gaps between meals.
• Cold and provocative food: cold food has a strong stimulating effect which can lead to diarrhea or gastrointestinal inflammation. Cold and provocative food irritates the gastrointestinal mucosa.
• Temperature of food: Food should be kept at normal temperature. Excess of hot and cold food damages stomach.
• Eating manners: Do not eat hastily. Eat slowly and chew the food properly. Proper salivation is needed to digest the food. Otherwise it will hurt stomach and lead to pain also.
• Fried food: Fried food adds burden to digestive tract causing indigestion. Hence it is clear that it is a health disadvantage to eat excess fried food.
• Pickled food: Pickles contain excess of salt and spices which harms digestive system. Some may be carcinogenic. They should be avoided to keep the stomach healthy.
• Food tone: Food should be soft, warm not very hot, light and fresh. It will prevent erosion and gastric ulcers and surface add to illness.
• Water: Water is an important part of body. It should be taken time to time. The best time of drinking water is during fasting and an hour before meal. Avoid taking water during meal. Water provides the base for digestion.
• Negative Stimulus for digestion: Smoking leads to stomach vasoconstriction, the impact of gastric parietal cells in the blood supply, reduced resistance to gastric-induced stomach illness. Avoid smoking.
