Mamiai Reminder cold intestines are prone to problems Stay away from these culprits healthy winter

In the 39 days of "going out on ice", the cold and dry external environment will directly affect the human gastrointestinal function.At this time, the elderly and young children with weak gastrointestinal and digestive tract capabilities should be reasonably maintained in order to stay away from various discomfort.

In summary, "more, cold, too, dry, closed" are the "culprits" that contribute to gastrointestinal diseases in winter.

More: Winter involves higher calorie consumption with a general increase in food intake, especially a preference for spicy and meaty dishes. However, excessive intake of spiciness and high-fat content can exacerbate the digestive burden on the gastrointestinal system.

Cold: During deep winter, the digestive function of the human body decreases. The stimulation of cold air can lead to contractions and spasms in the gastrointestinal tract, affecting gastrointestinal blood circulation. This can result in symptoms such as abdominal bloating, abdominal pain, heartburn, diarrhea, and an increase in bowel movements.

Too: Consuming foods that are too hot, sweet, spicy, or salty can damage the gastrointestinal mucosa.

Dry: In the season of supplementation, consuming an excessive amount of greasy foods can often generate internal heat, leading to symptoms such as constipation. Spicy foods can also exacerbate internal heat.

Closed: Sleeping with doors and windows tightly closed for an extended period can lead to high indoor temperatures, causing issues like nasal congestion, dry mouth, headaches, and a decrease in immune function. Wearing too many layers of thick clothing and prolonged indoor inactivity not only results in insufficient fresh air but also reduces the body’s adaptability to changes in external temperature.
