Chinese medicine doctor Sheng-Pu Lee said, gastroesophageal reflux disease is a chronic disease, easy to recur, mostly related to life and diet and emotional stress, from the Chinese medicine explanation, the reason why there will be gastroesophageal reflux, mainly because of the existing excretory mechanism problems, including liver and Yang bile deficiency, intestinal relaxation, blood circulation is not vigorous, as well as the gastric qi can not pass down, resulting in natural accumulation and reflux factors.
Modern people are under a lot of pressure, and the diet is full of stimulating ingredients, resulting in an increasing number of patients with gastroesophageal reflux and excessive acidity, most of whom use gastric medication and gastric milk to relieve their symptoms, and many chronic diseases are treated with medication, and gastric medication is also used to reduce the damage to the stomach.
Chinese medicine Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee said that most of the current gastric drugs contain aluminum acid preparations, and long-term use of gastric drugs will cause high concentrations of aluminum in the blood, increasing the risk of developing “dementia” (Alzheimer’s disease). In particular, the aluminum, magnesium and calcium in the acidifier will produce biochemical effects with phosphate, accelerating calcium depletion in the body and causing osteoporosis, as well as causing damage to digestion in the stomach and intestines.
In fact, Chinese medicine does not harm the stomach like Western medicine, mainly because it focuses on promoting the circulation of Qi and blood. Therefore, for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux, Chinese medicine advocates that firstly, it is important to restore the normal absorption metabolism of the liver, and secondly, it is important to cultivate the beneficial bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract to help the nutrient absorption in the gastrointestinal tract to be smooth.
Chinese medicine doctor Sheng-Pu Lee suggested that in order to prevent or improve minor gastroesophageal reflux symptoms, we must start by changing our daily diet and rest.
1. Concentrate on eating: eating too fast is often one of the causes of acid reflux, it is recommended that you should “chew slowly”, it is best to have a meal 70 percent full, do not eat too much.
2. Walk after meals: sitting still or immediately lying down to sleep, are prone to acid reflux occurs, it is recommended that after eating, it is best to rest for 15 minutes and then get up and walk to help digestion of the stomach and intestines.
3. Less snacking: avoid eating after 8 p.m., and people who have a habit of snacking should adjust their meal times to reduce the digestive burden on the stomach and intestines during the night.
4. Relaxation: work pressure on weekdays, should be timely in the holidays to go out for a walk, take a break, in order to relieve the mood, weekend holidays should also maintain the habit of fixed exercise, in the meal can be kept happy.
