Working overtime every day, only getting up and walking around when going to the toilet, even eating in their seats while working, or not moving around after meals and returning to work immediately, this is the real situation of modern office workers, who are prone to gastrointestinal problems such as flatulence and gastroesophageal reflux. Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee, the director of Sheng-Pu Chinese Medicine Clinic, said that the season has gradually turned cooler, in fact, the speed of skin heat dissipation is the speed of digestion, the skin will contract during this season, without proper regulation, it is easy to aggravate chest congestion, gastric distension, gastroesophageal reflux and other physical discomfort.
Especially the “sedentary” and lack of exercise office workers, the chance of suffering from gastroesophageal reflux is relatively much higher. Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee explained that food will begin to ferment after chewing into the body, and then generate heat and promote blood circulation in the body, under normal circumstances, there will not be any disease after meals. However, if you like to drink cold drinks or do not move after eating, it will make the gastrointestinal temperature lower, food fermentation slower, easy to suffer from gastroesophageal reflux.
Unlike the general workforce sat still after eating, like farmers, workers and other types of work, will be working after eating, so the chance of acid reflux occurring is relatively much less. Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee further explained that exercise is to allow blood circulation to drive the body’s nutrients to the body’s needs, if sat on a full stomach, the body’s nutrients will not be smoothly transported to the whole body. In addition, if people are addicted to sweet, cold, fermented foods, it is easy to produce flatulence and the formation of stomach acid, which in turn leads to the situation of gastroesophageal reflux.
Patients suffering from gastroesophageal reflux need to pay extra attention to their daily diet and lifestyle habits. Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee pointed out that people with gastroesophageal reflux need to chew more slowly, because saliva is alkaline, will affect the number of gastrointestinal enzymes; in terms of food, try to reduce the intake of sweets, sauces and other easily fermented foods; in order not to cause the burden on the stomach and intestines, each meal should only be satisfied with 60 or 70 percent; after meals can choose to take a walk and other gentle exercise, can adjust the overall internal Qi and blood, to avoid disorder and aggravate the occurrence of gastroesophageal reflux.
The comprehensive stomach acid acid suppressant on the market can only temporarily alleviate stomach discomfort, not from the fundamental improvement. Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee mentioned that gastroesophageal reflux is due to nutrients in the body stagnant for too long, in the treatment of Chinese medicine, can choose atractylodes, cinnamon twigs, Tangerine Peel, Poria and other Chinese herbs to improve. In addition, Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee reminded, appropriate exercise and adequate sleep, the gastrointestinal conditioning are helpful. It is worth noting that if gastroesophageal reflux treatment for more than six months without results, it may be due to the direction of treatment does not match the patient’s physical condition, it is recommended to seek further consultation with a professional doctor.
