What to do if stomach acid burns your throat? Chinese medicine teaches you some tips to relieve it

Gastric acid is an important substance in our stomach that helps digest and break down food, but too much gastric acid can cause reflux and burn the throat. In addition, too much gastric acid can easily cause symptoms such as nausea and vomiting. So what are some ways to alleviate it? In addition to paying attention to your diet, you should also pay attention to your daily health care.

1: Excessive drinking can easily cause alcoholic liver, alcoholic cirrhosis, malnutrition and vitamin deficiency, etc. Drinking large amounts of beer can easily damage the gastric mucosa, causing gastritis and peptic ulcers, and symptoms such as upper abdominal discomfort, loss of appetite, abdominal bloating, and acid reflux.

1: Wearing tight clothes or wearing a belt that is too tight will increase the pressure in the stomach, causing gastric juice to flow upward.

1: Modern society is highly competitive, and many people face tremendous work and mental stress every day. If this state of tension is not relieved for a long time, it can easily cause dysfunction of the nervous system and endocrine system. Nervous tension can cause spasms in the blood vessels of the stomach and duodenum walls, reducing blood supply and thus contributing to the occurrence of stomach problems. Often working overtime until late at night disrupts the body's biological clock and can also cause abnormal secretion of gastric acid.

1: After overeating, food takes longer to break down. If food stays in the stomach for a long time, the pressure in the stomach will increase, thereby compressing the lower esophageal sphincter connecting the stomach and esophagus. The sphincter will naturally become relaxed when it is under long-term pressure, making it easier for stomach acid to flow upward. If the frequency of burping and belching increases significantly after a meal, it is likely that the lower esophageal sphincter has relaxed and you should pay more attention to whether you have acid reflux. Some people often have irregular meals due to work. Without food, excess gastric acid in the stomach will corrode the stomach wall.

1: If you want your stomach to be comfortable and your digestion to be good, you must chew your food slowly and thoroughly. It is best to eat small meals frequently and eat regularly to maintain the normal rhythm of digestive activities. People with poor stomachs should "avoid certain foods", eat less spicy food, drink less strong tea and coffee, and try not to eat too much fruits and snacks to reduce irritation to the stomach. High-fat foods are difficult to digest and will increase the pressure in the stomach. Eating too much high-sugar food will also increase gastric acid secretion, leading to acid reflux and heartburn, which require attention.

1: For people who have never had a history of stomach problems, cold air can easily cause the blood vessels in the stomach to spasm and contract, and blood flow in the stomach to decrease, leading to poor coordination of stomach function and stomach pain. For those with chronic stomach problems, the old disease is more likely to recur at this time because continuous inhalation of large amounts of cold air repeatedly stimulates the stomach, causing excessive secretion of gastric acid and damaging the gastric mucosa. Therefore, patients with chronic gastric diseases should pay attention to keeping warm when going out in winter, and wear scarves or masks to protect their mouths and noses.

1: Being overweight can increase intra-abdominal pressure, aggravating acid reflux and heartburn.

Eat acidic foods, eat more alkaline foods, eat regularly and avoid hunger.
