‘My epigastric area is always bloated, so it’s hard to eat.’ ‘I have heartburn and gas every morning.’ ‘I have a hard time because of the foreign body sensation going up my throat.’ ‘I feel uncomfortable because I burp all day long.’ One in four Koreans has experienced or is being treated for indigestion. However, many people ignore their discomfort because they think it is a common symptom. If indigestion is not properly treated, it can cause gastritis or gastric ulcers, as well as stress and depression, which can further negatively affect digestive function and lead to chronic indigestion.

Functional indigestion without a cause, even if you feel sick and bloated

Half of those over 50 suffer from functional dyspepsia… The stomach needs rest when the trim is stuffy

Among patients with chronic indigestion in Korea, 70% have functional indigestion, which is discomfort for more than 12 weeks without a clear cause, and according to the Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service, 55% of the approximately 1.43 million patients with functional indigestion in 2023 were middle-aged and elderly people in their 50s or older.

Functional dyspepsia is caused by various factors such as a decline in stomach function due to aging, a spicy and salty diet, a decrease in blood flow and digestive enzymes in the stomach due to stress, and Helicobacter pylori infection. Symptoms such as △upper abdominal bloating △early satiety △nausea △burping △heartburn △loss of appetite △vomiting △reflux appear, and many people habitually take digestives or antacids whenever this happens. In particular, as you age, your stomach function declines and the quality of your stomach acid deteriorates, uncomfortable symptoms persist and do not improve with medication, which leads to problems with nutrient intake.

In order to digest well, you need to eat regular meals in appropriate amounts so that your stomach maintains a certain rhythm. However, if you have irregular eating habits, the stomach lining can become thin or damaged, and the stomach’s motility can decrease, worsening indigestion.

According to Ulsan University College of Medicine, the results of observing the eating habits of 472 patients with functional dyspepsia showed that the fewer number of regular meals per week and the more frequent overeating were associated with functional dyspepsia.

The more you maintain the 16:8 fasting period, the healthier your stomach and digestive ability will be.

Fasting helps the stomach rest and recover. When you don’t eat for a certain period of time, the stomach and intestines are cleansed and the amount of enzymes and stomach acid needed for digestion is regulated, making the stomach healthier and reducing the discomfort caused by overeating.

In fact, the results of animal experiments conducted by overseas scientists have found that mice that ate food at longer intervals were healthier and lived longer than mice that ate frequently. Dr. Rafael de Cabo, a researcher and doctor in the field of health and nutrition, said, “We have discovered the possibility of delaying aging and extending lifespan simply by increasing the interval between meals, without having to restrict the type of food or reduce calories.”

One way to maintain an empty stomach is intermittent fasting, which involves fasting for 16 hours and eating within 8 hours. It is more effective to practice healthy eating habits, such as avoiding overeating or late-night snacking and keeping an empty stomach, while taking stomach-related health functional foods. Stomach health functional foods made with ingredients that help digestion promote the secretion of digestive enzymes in the stomach, making food easier to digest, and reducing abdominal bloating and indigestion symptoms, helping to restore a healthy stomach.
