#天氣寒冷 加上 #農曆新年,香港人都喜歡吃 #火鍋 及辛辣食物暖身。不過經常嗜辣有可能造成胃酸倒流,使胃部「投訴」。
胃部內的酸鹼度(pH值)通常約1至3,強酸性的胃液可幫助活化消化酶,使食物分解成更小的分子,以助吸收。除此之外,胃酸亦可幫助吸收電解質及殺菌。正常食道的pH值應為7左右,一旦低於4,便可能是患上 #胃酸倒流。
In cold weather, Hong Kong people like to eat hot pot and spicy food to stay warm. However, frequent spicy food may cause acid reflux and make the stomach "complain".
The pH value in the stomach is usually about 1 to 3. The highly acidic gastric juice can help activate digestive enzymes and break down food into smaller molecules to facilitate absorption. In addition, gastric acid can also help absorb electrolytes and kill bacteria. The normal pH value of the esophagus should be around 7. Once it is lower than 4, you may suffer from acid reflux.
