Causes of excess stomach acid

The stomach is one of the important organs in the human body. It helps people digest food and is an indispensable part of the human body. The stomach accepts food people eat every day and helps people digest it. Don’t underestimate the stomach because it is so powerful. Problems can arise if you don’t protect it well. Eating irritating foods frequently will irritate the stomach. Over time, the stomach's resistance will be reduced, and this is when stomach problems will come knocking.

There are many stomach diseases, no matter whether they are acute or chronic, one thing you need to know is that if you cannot take good care of your stomach after suffering from stomach disease, it is easy to get sick again. Many people will have stomach acid phenomenon at ordinary times, and feel that the stomach is very sour and very uncomfortable. So today I will tell you the cause of this stomach acid.

1. Irregular meals: If you eat at irregular times and often eat snacks, it may also stimulate the increase of gastric acid; in addition, if you eat too much, it may also stimulate the gastric antrum and cause increased gastric acid secretion.

2 Mental stress: When you are nervous, overly tired, or in a bad mood, the cerebral cortex will be dysfunctional and cannot properly control the nerves that secrete gastric acid, which will increase gastric acid secretion.

3. Genetic factors: Although gastric acid secretion is not directly classified as a genetic disease, genetic factors can lead to different physical constitutions. The levels of gastric acid secretion in different physical constitutions are inconsistent, and the impact on excessive gastric acid cannot be ignored.

4 Increased reactivity or total number of parietal cells: Even if the total number of parietal cells is normal, the mucosa may be damaged due to high gastric acid secretion.

5. Unbalanced diet: Foods that are too sweet, too salty, too spicy, too sour, too cold, or too hot can stimulate increased gastric acid secretion, so in your daily diet, you must pay attention to a balanced diet.

After looking at the causes of stomach acid, we can see that most of them are caused by diet, so when eating, you should mainly eat stomach-nourishing and easily digestible foods. Don’t be too greedy for foods that irritate the stomach. You should also pay attention to protecting your stomach when dressing. Especially if you already have stomach problems, you must take good care of your stomach.
