If you have problem with digestion, you
should evaluate things that are taking place in your life. Do you eat and drink
in moderation?
Do you spend most of your time using
computer? Do you drink wine and eat too much? If you do these things, you are
causing the dangerous things for your digestive system. You need to change it.
According to a recent research, an
experiment’s result shows that bowel’s nerve system contains more nerve cells
than spinal cord (only less than brain). Brain operates the rest organs of body
while nerve system also guide bowel how to operate. Hence, your state of mind
also relates to your health closely. Besides stress, there is another element
that has direct effect on digestive system’s operation that you often don’t
care. That is fiber.
Stomachache due to stress
Many people think that the irregular diet will
cause stomachache. However, in present life, stress is the reason that leads to
stomach’s problem because you have to face pressure of life and work. When your
nerve is stressed, it will discharge a lot of HCL acids, one of the reasons
that damage mucous membrane, make stomach inflamed and gaping. In a long time,
these elements will affect stomach and digestive system’s health and everyone
cannot recognize it at the beginning, you can only recognize until your stomach
has painful symptom.
Stress
is one of the reasons that cause stomachache.
Some first symptoms of stomachache are
dyspepsia, heartburn, agita and slow digestion. Patients don’t want to eat and
feel tired because their digestive system doesn’t work well in this stage. You
have difficulty in recognizing these unclear symptoms, so everyone often has subjective
state of mind and doesn’t pay much attention.
If patients don’t care their diet and
reduce stress in work, their disease will become more serious and have bad
tendency with typical symptoms serious attacks, spasm of epigastric area. If
you don’t cure stomachache completely and effectively, disease will develop
quickly with serious spasm and sometimes, patients can vomit and they have to
go to the hospital for emergency.
If you aren’t tested and cured in the right
way, this disease will become stomach ulcer that affects patients’ health
seriously.
Precious fiber
Fiber is decomposed by digestive glazes. In
addition, it doesn’t provide energy and nutrients directly. However, why do
nutritious experts advise us to eat foods that have a lot of fiber? The reason
is that fiber makes many important biological functions.
Many researchers proved the relationship
between fiber and transforming lipid, glucose, other biological values as well
as fiber’s role in diet and the risk of heart disease. The research also shows
that if you provide with 2-10 grams of dissolved fiber every day, it will
reduce the total cholesterol and 2% of bad cholesterol. Fiber also increases
useful bacteria in bowel and increases immune ability for body’s digestive
system. Moreover, it helps reduce the risk of infection for digestive track,
especially diarrhea to children.
The most remarkable function of fiber is to
help “improve large intestine’s function”. When fiber moves to digestive
system, it will absorb water in large intestine, increase the volume of dregs
and help us not have constipation. Consequently, using a lot of fiber will help
digestive system operate well and your skin will have less pimple. If you eat
less fiber, your large intestine will be disordered.
The
most remarkable function of fiber is to help improve large intestine’s
function.
When we have a suitable diet, we will get
the above advantages. According to Nutritious Institute, we should eat 300
grams of vegetable/ day + 100 grams of ripe fruits and drink enough water
(equivalent to 8-10 glasses of water/ day).
Harmful foods
Those are foods that can increase stress
and tiredness because they absorb energy and nutrients that are stored in the body
or they also produce hormones causing stress and make nerve system be
stimulated.
Caffeine
Tea, coffee, chocolate and some fizzy
drinks contains caffeine. Caffeine operates like a stimulant that improves the
process of metabolism and releases hormones that cause stress such as adrenaline,
cortisol…. As a result, it will make digestive system operate badly, make blood
pressure high, make beat increase and your body feel tired in a long time.
Refined
sugar and carbon-hydrate
If you eat too much sweet candies, biscuits
and drinks containing sugar, they not only destroy all of the existing
nutrients but also increase the content of sugar in blood. In addition, it will
create pressure for liver as well as destroy the balance about the content of
insulin in body. All of these things will make you have unstable state of mind,
worry and feel tired.
Fast
foods and processed foods
These foods contain preservative chemicals,
a lot of sugar and saturated tissue but they contain less nutrient. Hence, they
make nerve system be stimulated strongly.
Fast
foods contain preservative chemicals, a lot of sugar and saturated tissue but
it contains less nutrients.
Unsaturated
fat
If you eat a lot of things that contain
unsaturated fat such as fried foods, baked cake, fast food, meat and products
processed from dairy butter, you will have difficulty in digesting and
absorbing nutrients and carbon – hydrate.
Alcohol
Drinks that contain alcohol are diuretic
but they consume all of stored nutrients quickly. These stored nutrients such
as vitamin B, magnesium, Zn play an important part in preventing stress.
How to use fiber
You should use natural fiber than processed
fiber because natural fiber has two kinds: one can dissolve in water and the
other cannot.
Fiber shouldn’t be well-cooked because it
easily transform into powder. Therefore, you should eat vegetables that are
rather ripe, especially vegetables are raw and crisp.
Wash fruits and vegetables before using to
eliminate vegetable protective chemicals.

Between 2 meals, you should eat dry fruits
when you are hungry.
You should increase fiber in food portion
slowly so that digestive system can adjust to these foods that are difficult to
digest and dyspepsia.
