Eat more pumpkin to relieve mild gastric ulcer

There are many white-collar workers who suffer from gastric ulcers due to improper diet and irregular life. In traditional Chinese medicine, ulcer disease belongs to the categories of epigastric pain, liver and stomach pain, heart pain, and acid regurgitation. In folk, it is often called heart pain, stomach pain, stomach pain, hunger and fullness tuberculosis, etc. In addition, ulcer disease is characterized by recurrent rhythmic upper abdominal pain, often accompanied by belching, acid reflux, burning, noise, and even nausea, vomiting, hematemesis, bloody stool and other symptoms. There are round and oval chronic ulcers in the gastrointestinal tract.

In fact, mild gastric ulcers can be improved by eating pumpkin. Chinese medicine believes that pumpkin is warm in nature, sweet in taste and non-toxic. It enters the spleen and stomach meridians, can moisten the lungs and replenish qi, resolve phlegm and discharge thick, expel parasites and detoxify, treat cough and asthma, treat lung abscess and constipation, and has diuretic and beauty effects. Pumpkin can protect gastric mucosa, treat gastric ulcers, and help digestion: the pectin contained in pumpkin can also protect the gastrointestinal mucosa from the stimulation of rough food, promote the healing of ulcer surface, and is suitable for patients with stomach diseases. The ingredients contained in pumpkin can promote bile secretion, strengthen gastrointestinal motility, and help food digestion.

In addition, pumpkin contains protein, carotene, vitamins, cobalt, zinc and iron. Cobalt is one of the important components of red blood cells in the blood; zinc directly affects the function of mature red blood cells; iron is a basic trace element for making hemoglobin. These are all good raw materials for blood supplementation. Pumpkin is rich in vitamin B12, and a lack of B12 in the human body can cause pernicious anemia. Eating pumpkin is the best way to "replenish blood".

Many people throw away the pumpkin pulp when cooking, but this is a wrong decision. The discarded pumpkin pulp actually contains more than 5 times more carotene than the pumpkin flesh. Therefore, many Koreans put honey, jujube, etc. in the old pumpkin and the pumpkin pulp, and then steam and cook the pumpkin until it is soft, and then filter the juice to make pumpkin juice.

But at the same time, we warn everyone not to eat too much pumpkin, because if you take too much carotene, you are prone to carotenoid xanthoderma, which makes your skin look yellow and unhealthy. The daily consumption should not exceed the amount of a staple meal.

Here I would like to introduce to you a stomach-nourishing therapeutic soup, which is especially suitable for people with gastric ulcers and anemia.
