List of products useful for the stomach

Despite the fact that many today began to chase products that are useful for the stomach, those who eat wrong, still a dime a dozen.

People eat as they like, and rarely think about what foods are really good for their body as a whole, stomach, intestines.

And in vain: whatever one may say, it is food that plays a fundamental role in the formation of a healthy, and therefore happy person.

What should I do? It's great to eat! What kind of products are really useful, and what are harmful to the intestines and stomach - this article will tell.

We're eating health!

To drink on an empty coffee and run to work, have a snack there with a hot dog or a shawarma from a nearby kiosk, and in the evening you can eat fried potatoes with meat - a familiar picture?

This is how half of the inhabitants of megacities live today. Not surprisingly, by the age of 30, and even earlier, all these people develop gastritis, stomach ulcer, constipation starts - the work of the intestine is disrupted.

The unfortunate begin to run around the doctors and take pills, and do not even think that it's all about the way of life and the harmful food that they consume every day.

Which food is the most useful for the intestines and stomach? The answer to these questions is simple - it is dictated by nature itself and human anatomy.

Useful for the intestines and stomach( especially if they already "suffered") is a food that contains:

• proteins - the main building material, the accelerator of regeneration processes;
• pectin and beta-carotene - stimulate the peristalsis of the stomach and intestines, neutralize toxins;
• sulfur - responsible for the protection of the gastric mucosa;
• vitamin B6 - prevents the possibility of developing neoplasms in the digestive tract;
• vitamin C - a powerful antioxidant;
• vitamin B9 - eliminates inflammation, neutralizes the effect of pathogenic microorganisms.

That is, a person's daily diet should contain foods rich in the above described substances.

Physicians are advised to eat foods in which proteins, fats and carbohydrates are contained in a proportion of 1: 1: 4, respectively. Also, it is recommended to eat often - 6 - 8 times a day.

The size of one serving should not exceed 250 milliliters in volume. It is very important to chew the food qualitatively so that the digestive processes start in the mouth.

For health of the intestines and stomach it is important to regularly eat soup and porridge. Pouch warm food is best absorbed by the body. In this case, vegetarian soup or soup with low fat broth is preferable.

Soup with beef and turkey broth, soup with broccoli is especially useful for GIT organs.

Soup with white cabbage, soup with cabbage and tomato on pork( borsch) for the stomach and intestines are harmful, as they increase gas formation, detrimental to the work of the stomach as a whole and the pancreas in particular.

Useful products in the boiled form, products, baked and steamed.

Fresh vegetables and fruits, as well as fruit and vegetable juices, certainly are also needed, as they activate the work of the intestines.

Honey or honey melon?

Proponents of traditional medicine argue that if the diet will always be present honey and melon, with digestion in humans there will be no problems.

However, is honey and melon really useful for the gastrointestinal tract products? Let's figure it out.

Indeed, scientists have found that honey, like propolis, affects the stomach and intestines as much as possible. Honey promotes more complete assimilation of minerals and vitamins.

Honey, enveloping the stomach, protects its mucous membrane, prevents its ulceration.

Honey accelerates the regeneration of tissues, relieves inflammation and, of course, strengthens the body's own defenses. However, naturally, it is a question of a natural product, without a "bojadi".

Honey in which sugar is added, loses its healing properties. It does not do any good, and sometimes it can do harm, and artificially created honey.

If honey is real, then with its help you can even treat a sick stomach. So, with gastritis and ulcers it is recommended to take 1 teaspoon of honey daily on an empty stomach, washing with warm water, but not with hot water.

Regarding the melon everything is far from being so unambiguous. Indeed, a melon - a storehouse of vitamins and minerals, fiber, necessary for normal operation of the intestine.

That is, it can be argued that melon is useful for strengthening immunity and intestinal function. However, a melon can cause harm to the stomach.

Melon is considered a hard and long digestible food and extremely poorly combined with other products.

It is not recommended to eat it on an empty stomach. Melon should also not be consumed in parallel with other fruits and vegetables in large quantities.

People suffering from ulcers and gastritis, can not eat this product, since melon can affect the acidity of the stomach.

Also melon is contraindicated in diarrhea, vomiting, as it aggravates dyspeptic phenomena.

Melon activates the processes of fermentation in the stomach( especially in combination with alcohol), can lead to swelling and abdominal pain.

Therefore, the use of this product should be treated with caution, with intelligence.

Fruit assortment, cereals and drinks for the stomach

The fact that fruits are useful for the intestines and stomach, has already been mentioned. But you need to know that not all fruits are useful for the digestive system, and also that in cases of stomach diseases, fruits can only be eaten in limited quantities.

What kind of fruit for the stomach is really useful and can they be eaten on an empty stomach?

Physicians show that for the organs of the digestive system, such food as fruit can really bring benefits, but it should be fruits such as: banana, apple, papaya, citrus fruits.

However, with gastritis with high acidity, citrus can not be eaten.

As for the question of what kind of fruit you can eat on an empty stomach, nutritionists are in unanimous response that no.

And not even because the fruit eaten on an empty stomach will hurt the stomach, slough the intestines( although this point of view also exists), but because on an empty stomach, in the morning, doctors advise to eat porridge.

So, eaten on an empty stomach porridge, especially when it comes to such cereals as buckwheat, pearl barley, rich in vitamins, saturates the body with energy for the whole day, gives a good( but not excessive) stomach load, contributes to the timely evacuation of the intestine.

Useful for the stomach rice porridge. Rice porridge envelops the stomach, beneficially affecting its mucous membranes. Rice porridge also contributes to the removal of harmful substances from the body.

Extremely useful for digestion oatmeal. This porridge is very rich in fiber, which contributes to the qualitative emptying of the intestine and its purification.

So, with what should be the food, useful for the stomach, figured out. And what about drinks: what kind of drink is useful for the digestive tract, what drink should you prefer from the variety of options?

To start with, drink something( water, juice or tea) to keep your stomach healthy, not after eating, but before it: about 30 minutes before the food enters the stomach.

Once in the stomach, juice or tea contributes to the production of gastric juice, so that the food is subsequently digested more qualitatively.

Next - and water, and juice, and tea, and milk, before they start taking them should be at room temperature, after all, so the drinks are better absorbed and guaranteed not cause a spasm of blood vessels.

What kind of juice or tea to choose? Nutritionists do not recommend drinking strong tea.

Green tea for the stomach is preferable to black, but green tea is too strong to drink, because the thymine contained in it is able to suppress the enzymatic activity of the pancreas.

It's best to drink herbal tea - from chamomile, mint, linden. These herbs increase immunity and have a beneficial effect on the digestive process.

Separately it is necessary to open such question, as treatment of a stomach by juices. Proponents of traditional medicine and numerous reviews indicate that in cases of stomach diseases, the first aid is: potato juice, carrot juice, spinach juice and celery juice.

Juice is also used, which is squeezed out of fresh grass. To treat the stomach juices are suitable such herbs as: wormwood and yarrow.

However, most often, herbs are used to make medicinal infusions. The most effective for treating the stomach are herbs such as: plantain, air, chamomile, fennel.

Other herbs are used for the treatment of bowel diseases: oregano, immortelle, heather, hectare.

However, the data of herbs and infusions on their basis as an independent treatment for problems with the digestive tract are useless to use.

Herbs can only be used as an adjunct to the main, prescribed by the doctor, therapy.
