2023/01/19

農曆新年,各式各樣的賀年食品讓人吃個不停,一不小心容易飲飽食滯,導致腸胃不適。不想飽飽滯滯,最好的方法當然是量力而為,不要吃過量。如果出現腹痛、作悶、胃脹、胃酸倒流、食慾不振、便秘、打嗝等症狀,代表腸胃已經不勝負荷,會造成消化不良。1 「消滯」意思是指幫助腸胃消化,促進排便和消除肚脹飽滯的感覺。2 以下分享10種消滯食物及5個消滯方法,助你舒緩飽脹感

消滯食物:

山楂

山楂味道酸甜,有消滯及提振食慾的作用3-5

麥芽

舒緩過量進食澱粉質帶來的不適,健脾、促進消化。可將山楂、麥芽加入熱水飲用3-5

無糖乳酪

含豐富益生菌,可加速腸道蠕動,減少腸胃內的害菌,從而改善脹氣情況,建議選擇無糖乳酪會比較健康6,7

餐前可吃蔬菜水果

蔬果含有大量纖維可幫助消化。6 奇異果、菠蘿、木瓜含有奇異果蛋白酶(Actinidin)、木瓜蛋白酶(Papain)、菠蘿蛋白酶(Bromelain)等天然酵素 。 8-10 西柚、西梅的酸度高,能刺激胃酸分泌,有效幫助腸胃消化 ;蔬果方面,秋葵、木耳纖維含量極高,能促進排便。11-14

5個消滯方法:

  • 進食後避免立即坐下或睡覺。輕量運動或散步同樣能幫助腸道蠕動,有助消化15
  • 茶/咖啡含單寧酸及咖啡因,可加速胃酸分泌幫助消化。可選擇普洱茶、綠茶、檸檬水/茶、薑茶或薄荷茶。咖啡(黑咖啡)也是另一個好選擇16-17
  • 避免喝有氣飲品,以免加劇胃脹問題6
  • 睡覺時微微抬起頭及肩膀,可避免胃酸倒流15
  • 避免同時進食大量流質食物/飲品,以減輕飽脹噁心感1

 

如消化不良、肚脹飽滯情況持續,建議盡快求醫。
