Don't Want To Go To The Emergency Room During Chinese New Year? Doctors Reveal 5 Kinds Of Food To Eat Less

It is easy to indulge in eating and drinking during the New Year's Festival, such as large meals, snacks, snacks, and late-night snacks, and the mouth can't stop all day long. There is also a table full of candies and sweets that stimulate the secretion of a large amount of gastric acid, and the stomach starts to alarm - flatulence, constipation, indigestion..., which spoils the spirit of the festival.

Traditional Chinese medicine physician Cheng Huizheng pointed out that eating too much of the following 5 kinds of food can cause stomach upset, and it is best to eat less during the New Year:

This type of greasy meat dishes, because too much fat will delay the digestion time, and eating too much will naturally upset the stomach.

High fat content, Chinese medicine believes that it has the effect of smoothing the intestines. People with constipation may have a laxative effect after eating it. However, some people with weak gastrointestinal function may not digest it easily and may also have diarrhea.

Sweet food will stimulate the secretion of gastric acid and cause stomach discomfort. Traditional Chinese medicine also believes that eating too much sweet food will damage the spleen and stomach, which is easy to produce phlegm and dampness, so it should be controlled.

It is inevitable to drink alcohol for the New Year's reunion, but alcohol is a food with a lot of pungent heat and high irritation. Drinking too much can easily damage the spleen and stomach and cause stomach pain.

From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, although glutinous rice can strengthen the stomach, the recommended dosage is generally very small. Due to the strong stickiness of glutinous rice, it is not easy to digest, so it is not advisable to eat more, especially fried or fried rice cakes, which increase the fat and need to be limited.
