People with stomach problems should know this before Tet (Lunar New Year).

GĐXH - People with a history of stomach ulcers or chronic stomach conditions will experience more pronounced pain if they don't take care with their diet during Tet.

Tet Nguyen Dan (Lunar New Year) is a time for family reunions, filled with joyful eating and celebrating. Typically, Tet meals are incomplete without foods high in protein and fat, such as banh chung (sticky rice cake), gio (pork sausage), cha (pork pate), etc.; spicy and sour foods like pickled onions and vegetables; and alcoholic beverages like beer, wine, and soft drinks. Simultaneously, daily routines are disrupted, with irregular eating habits, late nights, and late mornings.

All of these factors contribute to the onset of stomach pain , especially in people with a history of gastritis, stomach ulcers, or chronic stomach conditions, who will experience the pain more intensely.

To protect your stomach health during the Lunar New Year holiday, please note the following:

- Eat regularly and don't skip meals , and don't go hungry before drinking alcohol. Drinking on an empty stomach will cause the stomach to produce more acid, leading to inflammation, ulcers, and stomach pain; have a light meal before the party. Eat slowly and chew thoroughly: this helps reduce the burden on the stomach and avoids bloating or indigestion.

- Limit foods that are harmful to the stomach , avoid greasy, spicy, and processed foods as they easily irritate the stomach lining. Limit carbonated drinks as they increase pressure on the stomach. Prioritize healthy foods such as green vegetables, fresh fruits, and foods rich in fiber.

- Control your alcohol consumption; avoid excessive drinking as alcohol is a major cause of damage to the stomach lining, especially if consumed continuously over several days. Choose alcoholic beverages from reputable sources and avoid low-quality products.

- To avoid acute stomach pain and the recurrence of chronic gastritis during Tet, we need to maintain a healthy lifestyle, avoid staying up too late, and exercise daily.

- Individuals suffering from stomach ailments should strictly adhere to their doctor's treatment plan and nutritional guidelines. If the pain persists, patients should immediately seek medical attention for timely examination and treatment. Avoid delaying treatment to prevent the condition from progressing and developing into other dangerous complications.
