What are the causes of excess stomach acid?

With the continuous improvement of people's living standards, many people's negligence in their daily eating habits can easily lead to the occurrence of some diseases. So what are the general causes of excessive gastric acid?

First: Improper diet

If you eat improperly on a daily basis, such as eating too much spicy, sour, raw, cold, sweet, salty, or hot food, it will increase the secretion of gastric acid in the body. If the problem is serious, it will become a case of hyperacidity. Therefore, you must pay special attention to your daily diet, ensure a balanced diet, and eat the right food.

Nowadays, many people like to eat some coarse grains for the sake of health. Although coarse grains are good, they cannot be taken carelessly. Common coarse grains such as potatoes and sweet potatoes contain more starch, sugar and acidic substances. After entering the body, these will stimulate our body to produce a large amount of stomach acid, which is not good for health. Therefore, when taking coarse grains on a daily basis, you must pay attention to the right amount.

If we eat too much food that is difficult to digest, the sugar produced by these foods will ferment in our gastrointestinal tract, which will also induce the secretion of gastric acid in the body.

Second: Excessive mental stress

If the mental pressure is too great or too tense, and the spirit is too tired and the mood is bad, the function of the cerebral cortex will be affected and disordered, which will not be able to manage the nerves of gastric acid secretion well, resulting in excessive or insufficient gastric acid secretion, affecting physical health. Therefore, it is very necessary to maintain a good mental state at ordinary times, which can reduce the possibility of various diseases in the body.

Third: Gastrointestinal diseases

Experts also tell us that if the body suffers from some gastrointestinal diseases, such as gastritis, cholecystitis and duodenal ulcer, it will also cause a sudden increase in gastric acid in the body.
