54.胃黏膜的“修复器”The "restorer" of the gastric mucosa

Although the stomach plays a vital and major role in maintaining the digestion and absorption of food in the body, it is also relatively "delicate" and can be easily affected by internal and external factors. For example, Helicobacter pylori is a common cause of gastric ulcers.
In addition, an uncontrolled and irregular diet, with a tendency to eat heavy foods, can also affect the health of the stomach to a greater or lesser extent. In order to maintain a healthy stomach, many people choose to eat millet porridge to strengthen their spleen and stomach.
It is true that millet, a whole grain, is rich in vitamins and its entry into the stomach and intestines not only clears heat and quenches thirst, but also nourishes the stomach, making it very suitable for those with a weak spleen and stomach. However, there are many people who do not know that these 3 kinds of food are actually better for the stomach than millet porridge, and their nutritional value is mostly overlooked.
1、Apple
As the saying goes: an apple a day, the doctor away from me. Although apples are very common in life, many people only know that it is rich in vitamins, but in fact it is also rich in pectin and dietary fiber, is a stomach "good helper".
Eating an apple every day not only increases the activity of the stomach lining and regulates the gastrointestinal tract, but the various minerals it contains also protect the gastric mucosa. Therefore, for many people with stomach problems, many doctors will advise them to keep eating apples.
2. Pumpkin
In the vegetable category, pumpkin is a very mild food and, like apples, it is also rich in vitamins and pectin. It is also rich in vitamins and pectin. After cooking, it is more conducive to intestinal digestion. The pectin contained in pumpkin, in particular, has a strong adsorption power, which can adsorb the rubbish in the stomach and H. pylori, etc., but also to accelerate the gastrointestinal motility, the body's waste discharge.
Therefore, pumpkin food is also known as the gastric mucosa "repairer", and become a good way to prevent gastric ulcers.
3. Honey
In addition to the two foods mentioned earlier, honey also plays an important role in repairing the gastric mucosa. The honey is relatively mild, after eating into the spleen and stomach, can protect the gastric mucosa at the same time, promote the secretion of gastric acid, and thus enhance peristalsis. Moreover, honey can be taken on an empty stomach. A little honey in the morning will provide timely nutrition for the gastrointestinal tract, reduce inflammation and strengthen your immune system while inhibiting the growth of bacteria.
Although the intake of nutrients through food can play a role in repairing the gastric mucosa, the most important thing to prevent and drive away gastric disease is to inhibit the growth of H. pylori.
Modern life is stressful and various factors lead to many people suffering from stomach problems at a young age. We may want to eat a little bit of stomach-nourishing food every day to boost the fighting ability of beneficial bacteria and provide favourable support for the ecological health of the gastrointestinal tract.

作为维持体内食物消化和吸收的重要及主要器官，胃虽然发挥了极其重要的作用，但是它相对而言也比较“娇气”，很容易受到内部和外部因素的影响。比如常见的幽门螺旋杆菌，就能够引起胃溃疡的发生。
不仅如此，饮食方面不节制、不规律，总是喜欢吃一些重口味的食物，也会对胃部健康带来或多或少的影响。为了养好胃，很多人都会选择进食小米粥来强健脾胃。
的确，小米作为一种全谷物，富含大量的维生素，其进入肠胃以后不仅能够清热解渴，也能够让我们的胃部得到滋养，对于那些脾胃虚弱的人非常适用。但是，有很多人不知道，这3种食物其实比小米粥都养胃，它们的营养价值大都被人忽略了。
1、苹果
俗话说得好：每天一个苹果，医生远离我。苹果在生活中虽然很常见，但是很多人只知道它富含维生素，其实它还含有丰富的果胶和膳食纤维，是个养胃的“好帮手”。
每天吃一个苹果，不仅能够增加胃壁的活动，调节肠胃，而且其所含有的各种矿物质也能够起到保护胃黏膜的效果。所以，对于很多胃病患者而言，很多医生也会建议他们坚持吃苹果。
2、南瓜
在蔬菜一类，南瓜属于一种非常温和的食物，与苹果一样，它同样含有丰富的维生素和果胶。经过烹饪以后，更有利于肠胃消化。特别是南瓜中含有的果胶，具有强大的吸附力，能够吸附胃里的垃圾以及幽门螺旋杆菌等，同时也能够加速胃肠蠕动，将体内的废物排出。
因此，南瓜这一食物也被称为胃黏膜的“修复器”，并成为了预防胃溃疡的好方法。
3、蜂蜜
除了前面提到的两种食物，蜂蜜对修复胃黏膜也起到了很重要的作用。蜂蜜相对温和，进食后进入脾胃，可在保护胃黏膜的同时，促进胃酸的分泌，进而增进肠胃蠕动。而且，蜂蜜是可以空腹服用的，早上来一点蜂蜜，可及时为肠胃提供营养，减少炎症的发生，在抑制细菌生长的同时，也能够增强自身的免疫力。
通过食物营养物质的摄入，尽管能够能够起到修复胃黏膜的作用，但是想要预防和赶走胃病，最重要的还是要抑制幽门螺旋杆菌的生长。
现代人生活压力大，各种因素导致很多人年纪轻轻就患上了胃病。我们不妨每天吃一点养胃的食物，提升有益菌的战斗能力，为胃肠道生态健康提供有利的支持。
