What doesn't burn the heart when adding chives

Adding a small amount of ginger powder or pairing it with starchy ingredients to leeks can usually alleviate the burning sensation. Leek has a warm and pungent nature, which may irritate the gastric mucosa and cause discomfort. Reasonable combination can neutralize its irritability. Ginger contains gingerol and volatile oil, which can inhibit gastric acid secretion and promote gastrointestinal peristalsis. Cut fresh ginger into small pieces and stir fry with chives. The warm and cooling properties of ginger can counteract the dryness and heat of chives. Starch based foods such as potatoes and yams can absorb some stomach acid, and when mixed with chives, they can form a protective layer. It is recommended to control the oil temperature when cooking chives to avoid excessive heat, as high temperatures can damage the sulfides in chives and exacerbate irritation. People with weak spleen and stomach can blanch chives in water before cooking to reduce the content of oxalic acid and spicy substances. Some people may experience allergic reactions after consuming chives, manifested as skin itching or diarrhea. In such situations, it is necessary to avoid consuming chives and related ingredients. Patients with gastroesophageal reflux should strictly control their intake of chives, which contain glucosinolates that may relax the lower esophageal sphincter. If individuals with special constitutions experience persistent heartburn, it may be accompanied by lesions such as gastritis or ulcers, which cannot be relieved solely by the combination of ingredients.

In daily diet, chives can be eaten together with high-quality protein such as eggs and soy products. Protein can delay gastric emptying time. Avoid compatibility with strong irritant foods such as pepper and Baijiu to prevent synergistic irritation of gastric mucosa. Patients with chronic gastrointestinal diseases are recommended to use stir frying or filling cooking methods, which are easier to digest than deep frying. When eating chives in spring, they can be paired with wild vegetables such as dandelion to balance the diet by utilizing their bitter taste components. Long term recurrent heartburn patients need to undergo gastroscopy to rule out organic diseases.
