Many people have this kind of trouble, after eating a full meal, there is a burning sensation in the chest, as if there is a fire burning. Gastroesophageal reflux, commonly known as “heartburn,” often spoils the enjoyment of food and is often accompanied by uncomfortable sensations such as flatulence, vomiting and coughing, making people feel uncomfortable. In fact, gastroesophageal reflux is often triggered by wrong eating habits, especially don’t be greedy for fast food, chew slowly to avoid heartburn.
Gastroesophageal reflux or excessive acidity is arguably one of the most common digestive disorders in Taiwan, with almost one in ten people suffering from heartburn and swallowing acid suppressants to no avail. The phrase “disease enters through the mouth” is most appropriate to describe gastroesophageal reflux because, according to Chinese medicine theory, the main cause of gastroesophageal reflux and excessive acidity is the result of long-term neglect of the correct way of eating.
The Chinese doctor Sheng-Pu Lee said that almost all patients with gastroesophageal reflux have the common problem of swallowing food without biting too deeply. Especially if Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee uses a Chinese medicine meridian tester, the results are even clearer: almost all of the gastrointestinal flow is obviously low, which means that the entire stomach and intestines are loose, and fatigued, resulting in not knowing how much to eat and often overeating. The stomach is full, of course, the stomach acid has no place to run, so it rushes upward, causing a burning discomfort from the heart to the throat.
In fact, when people chew food, the brain will automatically calculate the amount of calories being eaten, and send a timely signal of “full,” but modern people eat like a war, biting less than two or three times to swallow, or chatting while eating, or even while drinking ice water. Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee explained that these interferences will make the brain, calculation errors, never feel full. Therefore, people who are accustomed to eating fast, eat to feel 80% full, in fact, has already damaged the stomach, planting the cause of gastroesophageal reflux.
Especially many people prefer ” goes well with rice ” cuisine, Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee said, these strong flavors, braised sweet and delicious food, easy to swallow, do not have to chew, and sweets are the same, is also the cause of many people unknowingly over-eating the invisible killer, it is best to stay away from.
If you have too much acid in your stomach, why don’t you just swallow more antacids? Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee stressed that this is simply a wrong concept. Because long-term reliance on antacids, it is harmful, may lead to the degradation of gastric acid secretion, insufficient, disrupting the balance of beneficial bacteria and bad bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract. When the stomach acid secretion is insufficient, it will give the germs an opportunity to not only run into the small intestine, which is responsible for digestion, but even invade the whole body. Many people have poor health, the three highs, allergies, obesity and other problems, all because of poor management of the first bite of food, not managing the mouth well, triggering a series of gastrointestinal adverse chain reaction.
How do you know if you are a fast eater? In fact, there is a way to follow, Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee said, once a full meal you have the stomach bloated, tired eyes and head heavy and want to sleep, or wants to run to the toilet, are all warning signs. If you want to get rid of gastroesophageal reflux, Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee suggests that the first priority is to chew slowly, the best bite of food can be carefully tasted on 20 or 30 times, eat less sweets, taste heavy food, avoid snacking, do not eat too much, in order to protect the stomach, so that the flexibility of the stomach to restore.
