The gastrointestinal tract, as an important part of the human digestive system, performs key functions of food digestion, nutritional absorption and waste discharge. Its state of health is directly related to the overall nutritional and health status of the human body. However, as a result of the accelerated pace of modern life, changes in dietary habits and the influence of environmental factors, the incidence of gastrointestinal diseases is increasing year by year and is a major health problem afflicting modern people. The purpose of this paper is to provide in-depth and shallow knowledge of gastrointestinal diseases and to provide effective preventive measures to help people maintain gastrointestinal health.
I. Classification of gastrointestinal diseases and common symptoms
There is a wide variety of gastrointestinal diseases, which can be broadly divided into oesophagus diseases, gastrointestinal diseases, mediocre diseases, intestine diseases, colon diseases and rectal anal diseases. Common diseases include stomachitis, stomach ulcer, 12-finger intestine ulcer, intestinal stress syndrome, cronosis, ulcer enteritis, constipation, diarrhoea, etc.
1. Stomachitis: Symptoms of upper abdominal discomfort or pain, saturation, gas, anti-acid.
2. A digestive ulcer (a stomach ulcer, a 12-finger ulcer): pain has a rhythm, such as post-eating or hunger pain, and can be accompanied by complications such as haemorrhage, perforation, etc.
3. Intestine irritation syndrome: mainly manifested in abdominal pain, abdominal discomfort with changes in excrement habits, such as constipation, diarrhoea or the alternation of the two.
4. Inflammatory intestine diseases (Cron disease, ulcer enteritis): chronic and repeated abdominal pains, diarrhoea, loss of weight, possible haemorrhage, enteric infarction, etc.
5. constipation and diarrhea: Although not a specific disease, there is a high incidence of a potential for intestinal disorders or potential diseases.
II. Causes of gastrointestinal diseases
The causes of gastrointestinal diseases are complex and include, inter alia:
Eating habits: high oil, high sugar, high salt, low-fibrous diets, and habits such as irregular diets, hot drinking, etc., can lead to an increased burden on the gastrointestinal tract and contribute to disease. 2. Lifestyle: Lack of physical activity, chronic mental stress and poor sleep can affect normal corrosive and hormonal tracts and increase the risk of disease.
3. Infection factors: Sphinx infection is a major cause of stomach inflammation, gastric ulcer, and intestinal infections can be caused by pathogens such as viruses, bacteria and parasites.
4. Genetic factors: Some gastrointestinal diseases, such as inflammatory enteropathy, have a significant family concentration.
5. Drug factors: The long-term use of drugs such as inflammatory and antibiotics can disrupt the balance of intestinal strains, leading to gastrointestinal discomfort or disease.
III. Prevention of gastrointestinal diseases
The key to the prevention of gastrointestinal diseases is the adaptation of living habits, the improvement of diet and the promotion of self-health awareness.
1. A balanced diet: Increased intake of fibre-rich foods such as vegetables, fruits and whole grains and reduced intake of red meat, processed foods and high-fat foods. Fibres help promote intestinal creeping and prevent constipation; antioxidation protects intestinal mucous membranes and reduces inflammation.
2. A regular diet: a regular diet to avoid heavy consumption. Dinner should not be too late or too full to increase the stomach burden. Drinking water in appropriate quantities to maintain internal water balance and promote metabolism.
Rational motion: Regular aerobics, such as runaways, jogging, swimming, etc., can facilitate blood circulation, enhance gastrointestinal creeping and improve digestive function. At the same time, the exercise also relieves stress, improves moods and benefits gastrointestinal health.
4. Depression: Learn to manage stress, relax through meditation, yoga, deep breath, etc., and avoid prolonged stress. Good mental state helps to regulate gastrointestinal functions and reduce the incidence of disease.
5. Attention to personal hygiene: wash hands before eating, avoid eating unclean food and reduce the risk of gastrointestinal infections. For vulnerable groups, such as children and the elderly, appropriate vaccinations may be considered.
6. Rational use of drugs: Avoiding the abuse of antibiotics and non-synthetic anti-inflammation drugs, which should be used, if necessary, under the guidance of a doctor, and take care to observe the side effects of drugs.
7. Periodic medical check-ups: For persons with family history of gastrointestinal disorders or with long-standing symptoms of gastrointestinal discomfort, there should be regular gastrointestinal examination, such as gastrointestinal glasses, enteroscopes, etc., in order to detect and address potential problems in a timely manner.
Overall, gastrointestinal health is the foundation of human health, the preservation of which requires us to start at the point of daily life. By adjusting diets, improving living habits and enhancing self-protection, we can effectively reduce the incidence of gastrointestinal diseases and enjoy a healthier and more dynamic life. Remember, prevention is better than cure, care for the gastrointestinal tract, and from now on, make health the norm of life. In the face of gastrointestinal problems, timely access to specialized medical advice and scientific treatment is also an important part of protecting their health.
