Have you been hit by the popular drama "Flowers" these past few days? The ups and downs of the plot, the impressive Shanghai dialect... In addition to these, the delicious food in the drama also attracts everyone's attention, such as Hu Ge's "Baozong Paofan"! Is eating instant noodles for a long time really good for the stomach? The answer may surprise you! Soaked rice can become softer and more digestible due to the addition of soup or water. Generally speaking, kimchi is easier to digest and has a lower burden on the stomach, so it is often mistaken for a way to nourish the stomach. However, what many people are unaware of is that long-term consumption of kimchi alone may lead to some stomach problems. "Easy to digest" ≠ "Good for the stomach" The stomach is an important organ in our digestive system, with specific functions mainly including storing food, digesting food, secreting gastric acid and digestive enzymes. ◎ Food storage: When the human body ingests food, the stomach will temporarily store it in the stomach through movements such as relaxation and contraction, and grind and stir it to make it easier to digest. ◎ Digestion of food: The stomach secretes substances such as gastric acid and digestive enzymes to chemically and mechanically digest food, breaking it down into smaller molecules such as amino acids, monosaccharides, and fatty acids. ◎ Secretory function: The stomach can secrete various substances, such as gastric acid, digestive enzymes, endogenous factors, and gastrin, which are involved in digestion and regulating gastric motility. ◎ Defense function: The gastric mucosal barrier, gastric acid, and other immune cells can prevent the invasion of pathogenic microorganisms and foreign objects, protecting the stomach from damage. ◎ Absorption function: After digestion by stomach acid and digestive enzymes, small molecules such as amino acids, monosaccharides, and fatty acids in food will be absorbed into the bloodstream for use by the body. The stomach is an organ that uses in and out. When the stomach is in a special period of discomfort, eating something soft and easy to digest, such as porridge and noodles, is really "just needed". But if a special period has passed, comprehensive nutrition should be gradually supplemented to enhance the defense ability of the gastric mucosa and the body's immune system. Long term consumption of soft, semi liquid, and liquid foods can actually weaken the stomach's ability to digest and process food. Our stomach dynamically regulates the function of the gastrointestinal tract based on the amount of food consumed and the degree of food digestion. If excessively soft and rotten food is consumed for a long time, the digestive function of the stomach may gradually weaken. On the contrary, if you frequently consume foods that are harder or higher in fiber content, the digestive function of the stomach may be exercised and improved. Specifically, when food enters the stomach through the esophagus, gastric peristalsis slowly pushes the food towards the lower part of the stomach. The stomach secretes gastric acid and digestive enzymes to help digest the food, and then gradually pushes the food into the small intestine to complete the digestion process. This process requires the muscles of the stomach to wriggle and stir, thoroughly mixing food with stomach acid and digestive enzymes. If the stomach is frequently subjected to this type of work, its muscles and digestive function will be exercised and enhanced. However, if food that is too soft, rotten, or easily digestible is consumed for a long time, the stomach does not need to undergo strong peristalsis and stirring, and the muscles and digestive function of the stomach may gradually deteriorate. This can lead to a decrease in the digestive ability of the stomach for slightly harder or higher fiber content foods, and may even trigger digestion
