The stomach is a relatively fragile organ for men. Almost all stomach diseases, especially gastric ulcer and stomach cancer, are far more common in men than in women. Some bad habits of men can't be controlled by themselves, which will greatly affect the use efficiency and life span of the stomach.
The following are the bad habits of different men:
Eat too fast
Swallowing is a typical image of men eating, but it will destroy the image of the stomach. If you chew the food 20 times (ideally 30 times), the degree of food crushing is 10 points, and 10 times may be 5 points. When the food is absorbed, it is not up to any standard, and the remaining 5 points need to be paid by the stomach. So eating too fast will increase the burden on the stomach, resulting in stomach muscle fatigue, decreased gastric motility, and even too rough food will directly wear the gastric mucosa.
Eat before bed
Eating anything before going to bed will damage your stomach, including drinking milk, juice, etc. Because the protein, fat and sugar in milk can cause the secretion of gastric acid, they are quickly discharged by the stomach, and only gastric acid is left in the empty stomach. It is natural for the useless gastric acid to corrode the gastric mucosa. For a long time, it may cause damage to the stomach.
Disordered eating time
Men are more likely to become workaholics and "forget to eat and sleep". The eating habits of a hungry and full meal will have a considerable adverse effect on the regular digestive system. The stomach is an organ that strictly abides by the schedule, and will secrete gastric acid at the time. If there is no food for stomach digestion at this time, then the digestive fluid has to start to digest the gastric mucosa itself.
Abuse of painkillers
Men seem to be more afraid of hospitals. If the pain is not too severe, they will find their own medicine. The mechanism of most painkillers is to relieve pain by inhibiting the synthesis of prostaglandins. This substance will amplify the "pain" signal and make us feel abnormal pain. If we suppress it, we will weaken or eliminate the pain. But at the same time, it also gave up another function of prostaglandins - to protect the gastric mucosa. When the painkiller reduces prostaglandins, the acidic digestive fluid in the stomach may be destroying the gastric wall, causing ulcers and perforation.
Excessive smoking
In addition to damaging the lungs, tobacco also does harm to the stomach. Nicotine harms the gastric mucosa in many ways: constrict blood vessels, reduce the blood supply of the gastric mucosa, and damage its integrity; Under the attack of nicotine, the inlet of the stomach became relaxed, and corrosive bile flowed back into the stomach; Inhibit the synthesis of prostaglandins that can repair the gastric mucosa; Promote the secretion of gastric acid, and directly corrode the gastric mucosa on the basis of the destruction of the gastric mucosal barrier. So people who smoke too much easily suffer from gastritis.
