Be careful of certain foods that can harm the stomach the most! 4 recommended dietary remedies for regulating the gastrointestinal tract

With the acceleration of the pace of life, many people choose fast food, which has caused stomach problems for most people.

Be careful of certain foods that are most harmful to the stomach

Fried foods: Fried foods such as chicken nuggets and French fries are inevitably rich in oil and fat, and the accumulation of these two substances in the stomach can cause diseases. Oils and fats produce a substance called "acrylic acid" at high temperatures, which is difficult to digest.A nutritionist said, "If you already suffer from diseases such as gastroenteritis, you should pay special attention to eating less oily and high-fat fried foods, otherwise it will cause some discomfort symptoms, such as nausea and diarrhea."

Spicy food: Chili peppers can stimulate the inner wall of the esophagus, causing an unpleasant heartache and increasing the burden on the stomach after consumption. Even if you want to add some sour cream to cool it down, you can still get the same stimulation. Moreover, adding things like sour cream can actually lead to other side effects.

Peppermint: Peppermint can relax the esophageal sphincter and increase the likelihood of pantothenic acid. Be careful with anything containing mint, such as mint tea, mint candies, and mint gum.

Broccoli: Broccoli contains a high amount of soluble dietary fiber. This type of fiber can only be broken down in the large intestine and produce a large amount of gas. Meanwhile, broccoli also contains gas producing sugars similar to those found in legumes.

Tomatoes: Tomatoes have a high acidity and may stimulate the stomach to produce more stomach acid. Therefore, eating too many tomatoes can lead to symptoms such as pantothenic acid and heartburn. The same goes for tomato sauce made from tomatoes.
