Most often, problems with the stomach appear due to improper nutrition. However, there are other habits that affect this. Experts have listed the main ones.
Lack of fiber
A lack of fiber negatively affects the health of the stomach. This element is necessary for the proper functioning of the gastrointestinal tract (gastrointestinal tract). In this regard, experts recommend including complex carbohydrates in the diet, including whole grain products, fruits and vegetables.
Antibiotics
Taking antibiotics also negatively affects the entire system of the gastrointestinal tract, including the stomach and intestines. These drugs kill not only harmful, but also useful bacteria. According to research, after taking antibiotics, beneficial bacteria can be absent in the body for another six months.
Sweet drinks
Daily consumption of sugary drinks can harm the health of the digestive system. Researchers note that people who drank sugary drinks every day, including soda, lemonade, and sodas, had a 59% increased risk of digestive system disease.
Ignoring unpleasant symptoms
Symptoms such as heartburn, bloating and nausea should never be ignored. This is especially true for people with high blood sugar. The fact is that this can lead to gastroparesis - an indigestion characterized by a decrease in the activity of the muscular apparatus of the stomach.
