1. Mental stress
When a person is nervous, worried, or angry, his negative emotions can spread through the cerebral cortex to the limbic system, affecting the autonomic nervous system, directly leading to gastrointestinal dysfunction, secreting excessive gastric acid and pepsin, causing gastric vasoconstriction, pyloric spasm, emptying disorder, damage to the protective layer of the gastric mucosa, resulting in self-digestion and the formation of ulcers. People are prone to ulcers after long-term depression, anxiety or mental trauma.
In addition, different manifestations of "bad temper" can also cause other diseases in the body. For example, being easily excited and easily angry may cause high blood pressure; strongly suppressing inner emotions may cause cancer...
2. Excessive fatigue
Whether it is physical labor or mental labor, if you are overly tired, it will cause insufficient blood supply to the gastrointestinal tract, secretory dysfunction, excessive gastric acid and reduced mucus, causing damage to the mucosa.
Although it is a long process from fatigue to overwork and then to death. But it is also a cumulative process. 3. Excessive drinking
Alcohol itself can directly damage the gastric mucosa. Alcohol can also cause cirrhosis and chronic pancreatitis, which in turn aggravates stomach damage. After alcohol enters the human body, it is mainly metabolized in the liver. Long-term drinking will cause alcoholic fatty liver.
Doctors remind: Excessive drinking can not only damage the liver and cause alcoholic fatty liver, but also cause alcoholic femoral head necrosis.
4. Smoking addiction
Smoking can cause gastric mucosal vasoconstriction and reduce the synthesis of prostaglandins in the gastric mucosa, which is a mucosal protective factor. Smoking can also stimulate the secretion of gastric acid and protease, aggravating the damage to the mucosa;
5. Unequal distribution of hunger and satiety
When you are hungry, the gastric acid and protease in the stomach have no food to neutralize them, and the concentration is high, which can easily cause self-digestion of the mucosa. Overeating can easily damage the stomach's self-protection mechanism; excessive expansion of the stomach wall and food staying in the stomach for too long can all contribute to stomach damage. 6. Unclean food
Helicobacter pylori infection is one of the important causes of gastric and duodenal ulcers. Among ulcer patients, the detection rate of this bacterium is as high as 70-90%, and the bacterium disappears after the ulcer is cured. Ulcer patients can be infected through close contact such as tableware, toothbrushes and kissing. Unclean food is also one of the causes of infection.
7. Overeating at dinner
Some people tend to concentrate the day's nutritional needs on dinner, or like to have a midnight snack or eat something before going to bed. Doing so will not only cause restless sleep and easily lead to obesity, but can also stimulate the gastric mucosa and cause excessive secretion of gastric acid, which can induce ulcer formation. 8. Eat voraciously
After food enters the stomach, it is stored, ground, and digested, turning it into chyme before it can be discharged into the intestines. If you do not chew food thoroughly and swallow it in a hurry, the food will be rough, which will increase the burden on the stomach, prolong the retention time, and may cause damage to the gastric mucosa. In addition, chewing food slowly can increase saliva secretion and reduce gastric acid and bile secretion, which is beneficial to the protection of the stomach.
9. Coffee and strong tea
Coffee and strong tea are both central nervous system stimulants, which can cause ischemia of the gastric mucosa through reflex, destroy the protective function of the gastric mucosa, and promote the occurrence of ulcers.
10. Drug Abuse
There are three main types of drugs that can easily damage the gastric mucosa: one is acetylsalicylic acid, such as aspirin; the second is non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as butazone, indomethacin, and ibuprofen; and the third is hormone drugs such as corticosteroids. Therefore, you should try to avoid using these drugs. If they must be used, the dosage and course of treatment should be controlled, and it is best to take them after meals. |
