The stomach is an important digestive organ of the human body, and if something goes wrong with it, it’s not only uncomfortable, but it also delays us from enjoying our food. If you eat the wrong food for a long time, the probability of suffering from stomach problems will be greatly increased. What are the foods that the stomach is most afraid of? How to protect the health of the stomach?
The stomach is most afraid of these 5 points
People who cover their stomachs and cry out for gastric pains abound nowadays, and poor eating and living habits can easily damage the health of the stomach.
High-Salt Food in the Stomach
Chronic high-salt diets endanger both cardiovascular and stomach health. Excess salt irritates the gastric mucosa, causing protective lining cells to shed. This damage to the stomach’s barrier significantly increases risks of gastritis and gastric cancer. Studies confirm frequent pickle consumers face 2.21 times higher stomach cancer risk.
High-Sugar Food in the Stomach
Nowadays, young people have a lot of pressure from work and life, and many of them are especially fond of eating sweets when they are stressed.
Some studies have mentioned that regular consumption of high-sugar foods is not only prone to inducing dental caries, but also increases the risk of stomach problems. The relevant ingredients in some sweet foods such as aspartame, sucralose and saccharin will not only disrupt the intestinal immune balance and impair the intestinal barrier function, but also break the balance of the intestinal microbiota.
Smoking and Drinking
Smoking weakens the lower esophageal sphincter and reduces saliva, while alcohol impairs esophageal contractions, lowers sphincter pressure, and increases gastric acid. This disrupts digestion and causes GERD.Tobacco smoke contains carcinogens that induce stomach cancer. Alcohol erodes the gastric lining, causing inflammation, bleeding, and systemic damage—especially with high-proof drinks
Unhygienic Diet
You may get infected with Helicobacter pylori bacteria by not eating a hygienic diet. H. pylori is an important causative factor in diseases such as peptic ulcer, chronic gastritis and stomach cancer, which can lead to symptoms such as abdominal pain, belching, epigastric distension and acid reflux.
It is also recommended to have regular medical checkups and to get prompt treatment if you find yourself infected with H. pylori.
Certain Medications
Long-term use of certain drugs can also damage the gastric mucosa, such as aspirin and ibuprofen.
Suggestion: Consult your doctor before taking medication, fully understand its side effects, and read the instructions.
This is what you need to do to protect your gastric
- Combined fruit/veg logic
- Clarified nuance: General veggies ≠ protection, but specific types/fruits do
- Removed redundant “some studies show”
- Simplified soy section
- Replaced list with “foods like tofu”
- Simplified “preventing and resisting gastric cancer” → “helping prevent stomach cancer”
- Corrected weight connection
- Fixed pancreatic/gastric cancer error
- Streamlined causal chain: obesity → visceral fat → gastric cancer risk
- Improved flow
- Used colons for scannability
- Active voice: “offer protection”, “reduces risk”, “helps prevent”
- Medical terms retained with clear context
Summary
Nowadays, there are many people suffering from stomach problems, and even young people’s stomachs are slowly collapsing, so “gastric protection action” is urgent.
Usually, we should eliminate bad dietary habits, regular medical checkups, especially for those who have Helicobacter pylori infection in the family. If the gastric is often uncomfortable, we must pay attention as soon as possible, do not ignore the “stomach disease signal”!
