6 bad habits that "destroy" the stomachs of office workers
Office workers are busy with work and do not pay attention to "taking care" of their stomach. Every day, they often repeat these bad habits, causing them to hurt themselves.
1. Eat to compensate
Because of their busy schedules, office workers often eat breakfast in a hurry or even skip it, then make up for it at lunch or dinner. An irregular diet, especially eating a large dinner before going to bed, if prolonged, will destroy a healthy digestive system.
Eating too much dinner or eating right before going to bed not only affects sleep, leading to obesity, but also causes the digestive tract to be overloaded. Excessive secretions of gastric juice will corrode the mucosa, leading to erosion, ulcers and other diseases in the long run.
2. Unhygienic eating
Surprisingly, office workers are among the most unhygienic eaters. The main reason is that they often have to choose boxed lunches.
Hot and humid summer is a favorable condition for many pathogenic bacteria to grow rapidly, food is easily reduced in nutrition and spoiled. If you eat unsanitary food or food left for a long time, it can easily cause acute gastritis, stomach pain, bloating and vomiting symptoms.
Helicobacter pylori (HP) bacteria is an important pathogen leading to the appearance and development of chronic stomach disease. This bacteria mainly originates from unhygienic eating and infections in some parts of the digestive tract. HP parasitizes the gastric and duodenal mucosa, causing mucosal inflammation and other stomach problems. Especially when the family has a history of stomach ulcers and gastritis, the risk of getting the disease is even higher.
3. Eat cold
The stomach is an organ that is very sensitive to climate and temperature. When stimulated by cold air, the stomach is prone to spasms, causing abdominal pain, indigestion, vomiting, diarrhea and other symptoms.
Most people often pay attention to eating hot, warm foods in autumn and winter without knowing that in summer, eating a lot of cold foods, chilled fruits or foods left in air-conditioned environments for a long time also causes the stomach to be exposed to cold, affecting digestive function.
4. Tired labor
Long-term physical and mental overload both lead to fatigue, weaken the immune system and the defensive role of the gastric mucosa. This easily leads to insufficient blood supply to the stomach, causing secretory dysfunction, reducing gastric mucus, causing damage to the gastric mucosa.
5. Nervous tension
Office workers who use their minds frequently are prone to stress and depression. Meanwhile, the occurrence and development of many stomach problems are closely related to emotions and mental states. When a person is upset, stressed or angry, negative emotions will affect gastric secretion, digestion and other functions. Therefore, prolonged depression, anxiety or trauma will also increase the risk of gastric ulcers.
6. Smoking addiction
Work pressure sometimes makes many people become friends with cigarettes to relieve stress. Cigarettes not only damage the body's respiratory system but also cause serious damage to the stomach. Smoking a lot makes the tendency of gastritis increase. This is because the nicotine in cigarettes damages the stomach lining.
Specifically as follows: it promotes vasoconstriction, reduces blood supply to the gastric mucosa, inhibits prostaglandin synthesis (a substance that plays a role in repairing and protecting the gastric mucosa), can cause bile leakage into the stomach, causing severe damage to the components of the gastric mucosa, and can also promote the secretion of gastric acid and pepsin, directly eroding the gastric mucosa.
