Lifestyle of modern man, unfortunately, is far from perfect: the crazy work schedule forced late dinner, snacks and anything they on the run, eat cold food, fast food and convenience foods, smoking, and a huge amount of caffeine - all this does not contribute to normal digestion. Plus a chronic lack of sleep, tension, fatigue, troubles in the service - here's the perfect background for the development of gastritis.
Poor diet, numerous stress and bad habits reduce the protection of the body, making it vulnerable to the bacterium Helicobacter pylori. And destroys the pathogen cells causing inflammation of the gastric mucosa, leading to the development of gastritis and other gastrointestinal diseases.
If you do not want a long and hard to treat gastritis, sitting entirely on porridge, it's time to adjust lifestyle. Namely:
1. Healthy food
In the prevention of gastritis is the most important point - is a balanced diet. No strict diets: food must be a sufficient amount of protein / fat / carbohydrate as well as vitamins and trace elements. natural products should be included in the menu longer easily digestible and do not abuse sour, spicy and salty foods.
To prevent gastritis, avoid fast food, too hot / cold foods, alcohol, coffee and sweet soda water. With care it is necessary to eat raw cabbage, apples, carrots, and other foods rich in crude fiber: they irritate the stomach.
Important! It is necessary to adhere to the diet: for breakfast / dinner / supper at certain hours. Moreover, the last meal should be up to 2 hours before bedtime, at the latest. You also need to chew eaten: well chopped food is digested faster and easier, reduces the load on the digestive tract.
2. Hygiene in food preparation
One of the causes of infection Helicobacter pylori - a violation of sanitation during cooking. After all, the pathogen enters the stomach through the mouth.
, Should be prepared to avoid infection, observing the rules of hygiene: wash carefully products, good roast thoroughly and boil thoroughly fish / poultry / meat.
3. Interseasonal prevention spending
Peak gastrointestinal diseases is traditionally in the spring / autumn. In the off-season immunity is reduced, the body is deficient nutrients exacerbated chronic disease. At this time, it is important to eat right, allowing the digestive tract protecting against aggressive bacterial action.
4. Monitor the health
Pay attention should not only nutrition, but also the health of the organism as a whole. Caries, chronic and infectious diseases, coupled with bad habits can lead to inflammation of the gastric mucosa.
5. avoid stress
"All diseases - from nerves," and it's true. Including digestive (such as a stomach ulcer is included in the official list of psychosomatic diseases).
Stress stimulates the production of hydrochloric acid, it is not fully consumed during the digestion and begins to erode the mucosa. Also adrenaline constricts blood vessels, blood flow to the stomach deteriorates, disrupted cell nutrition. Recent atrophy and die, there are pockets of inflammation - gastritis.
Important! We must try to avoid fatigue, negative emotions. Sleep, alternate work / rest, develop positive thinking.
