April 4 is International Stomach Care Day. The warm and cold early spring is the season of high incidence of stomach problems, so how should office workers who leave early and return late arrange three meals a day to protect their stomachs?
Breakfast should protect the stomach It is best to choose hot food and eat slowly
It is recommended that everyone eat hot food in the morning. For many office workers, the new day is busy from the beginning of waking up, and many people like to be simple, such as bread with milk. This combination seems to be nutritious, but the temperature in early spring morning is relatively low, and the stomach has not really "warmed". At this time, if you eat a colder diet, it will damage the stomach.
Sun Gang, director of the Department of Spleen and Gastroenterology of Nanjing Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, introduced that breakfast matching should be appropriately "miscellaneous". A small bowl of hot yam porridge and jujube porridge are good choices. If possible, you can moderate intake of some foods rich in protein and fat, such as eggs, soy products, lean meat, etc.
Finally, it is best to eat breakfast slowly. In order to hurry, many people will eat breakfast faster even if it is hot, so that the food is not easy to digest, affecting the absorption efficiency of nutrients, and causing irritation to the esophagus and stomach.
Nourish your stomach for lunch Don't eat while working
For most office workers, most of the daily lunch will choose to order takeaway or bring their own lunch box. There are generally fewer green leafy vegetables in takeaway, and they are greasy and the taste is more salty. It is best to remind the other party to put more vegetables and less salt when ordering takeout. It is best to use tuber vegetables for vegetables with their own lunch boxes, because the nutrients of overnight leafy greens are easier to lose. In addition, do not eat while working, so as not to affect the digestion and absorption of food in the gastrointestinal tract. Director Sun Gang suggested that everyone eat a fruit after a short lunch break, which can not only supplement a variety of vitamins, but also help promote the digestion of lunch food, and have the effect of refreshing the mind and increasing work efficiency.
Dinner should "loosen" the stomach, do not eat too much, eat too late
"Many friends like to have dinner at night, often overeating, over time, the more body fat accumulates." Director Sun Gang pointed out that dinner at night will also increase the burden on the heart, easily cause insomnia, memory loss and obesity, and even lead to digestive and cardiovascular system diseases. Therefore, it is necessary to "loosen" your stomach at night and do not eat too much. In addition, dinner should not be too late, preferably before 8 pm. This facilitates food digestion and also helps prevent fatty liver, urinary tract stones and other diseases. Correspondent Yang Pu Yangtze Evening News/Purple Cow News Reporter Lu Yanlin
