I heard that spicy food is a kind of pain, why can't you feel it when you eat it in your stomach?

Do friends know why "chrysanthemum" hurts after eating spicy food?

Because: spicy is not a taste, but a pain.

We often say "sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and salty" and combine the five flavors, but this is actually a misunderstanding of spicy. There are many different "receptors" in the human body, which are responsible for feeling different external stimuli and making the brain feel different. Sour, sweet, bitter, salty and thin are all processed through taste receptors, but spicy will stimulate pain receptors and transmit the feeling of pain and high temperature.

Taste receptors only exist in taste buds, but not in chrysanthemums.

However, spicy pain receptors are generally distributed all over the human body, including chrysanthemums. Pepper contains a pungent ingredient "capsaicin", which can not be completely absorbed and decomposed by the digestive tract, but will be directly excreted through the anus. Therefore, when defecating, you will come to the chrysanthemum along the intestine. There are soft mucosa and villi around the chrysanthemum, and the nerves under the mucosa are also very dense. They are often more sensitive to the "spicy stimulation" of the outside world. When capsaicin passes from the mouth to the digestive tract and finally through the chrysanthemum, the mucosa will be spicy!

Secondly, in our body, there are also some specific nerve receptors, which can combine with capsaicin to activate pain receptors in a short time and transmit the feeling of high temperature and pain to the brain.

Therefore, when the nociceptors on chrysanthemum are activated during defecation, it will send a burning signal to the brain, which will make us feel "spicy chrysanthemum". It hurts when sitting, when holding it, and when squatting in the toilet, which makes people want to stop. Of course, this is relative. Even if you eat the same spicy food, some people don't feel anything. This is because everyone has different sensitivity to spicy food.

How to eat spicy diarrhea?

This is the same step: capsaicin will stimulate the stomach after entering the digestive tract, which may lead to mucosal congestion and burning sensation. Therefore, if you eat too much spicy food or too spicy food, your stomach will be strongly stimulated, thus accelerating peristalsis and driving capsaicin out of your body as soon as possible. In this process, the movement law of the stomach will be easily disrupted, which may cause abdominal pain, diarrhea and other symptoms.

So, warm reminder to friends: 1.

Eat spicy food in moderation and be careful not to exceed the limit of your stomach.

2

Some people with abnormal constitution, especially those with basic gastrointestinal diseases, should really eat Chili carefully. Especially for people with hemorrhoids, chronic cholecystitis, gastritis, gastric ulcer or poor gastrointestinal function, eating spicy food may induce or aggravate the condition. )

Intestinal health relates to our health. In addition to daily diet control and normal work and rest, regular physical examination also needs to be put on the agenda. Early check-up, early prevention and early treatment should be paid attention to in our own health planning.
