Gastritis is one of the common health problems. Many people suffer from common gastritis and some are extremely troubled by gastritis.

So, as they say, 'Prevention is better than cure', take necessary steps to prevent gastritis on time so that you won't have to pay heavier damage. 

 

Here are some measures you can take to prevent gastritis.

Avoid acidic foods

Gastritis is caused by highly because of unhealthy eating habits. Especially, our Nepalese foods contain a high amount of spice, and oil which is not healthy for your stomach. Besides spicy and oily foods, try to avoid acidic foods like cola, sodas, and acidic fruit juices. It's best to go with baked or boiled foods with less amount of spice and oil. 

Cut off caffeine

Caffeine causes inflammation in your stomach which can worsen your current condition and cause gastritis. So, try to cut off caffeine or you can also be relieved by reducing its consumption. 

Eat a small amount of food multiple times

We have an unhealthy habit of consuming large portions at once which might be difficult for our stomach to digest properly. So, try to break those large portion meals into smaller portions that you can have multiple times. For instance, instead of having 3 heavy meals a day, you can have 5 smaller meals. This way you won't have to starve and will prevent gastritis to some extent. 

Manage stress

Stress is the cause of several health problems including gastritis. Try to manage your stress and delve into stress-relieving activities like yoga, meditation, painting, or anything that helps you. 

Don't lie down after a meal

Lying down after having a meal may raise the stomach acid which leads to gastritis as well as indigestion. Try not to lie down for atleast 3 hours after having a meal. 

Reduce alcohol consumption

Excessive consumption of alcohol leads to alcohol gastritis which damages your stomach lining and can cause abdominal pain and constant vomiting. It may not have immediate symptoms but eventually, it'll damage your stomach. So, try reducing or eliminating alcohol consumption. 

Excessive Medications

Excessive use of medicines or using medicines for a longer period than prescribed can also cause gastritis. So, try to limit the use of medications for as long as the doctor prescribes.
