1.你需要

balanced diet,lots of water,extra pillow,antacids,H2 blockers,doctor

飲食平衡，大量飲水，多加一個(gè)枕頭，抗酸劑，H2受體阻斷藥，醫(yī)生

Step 2: Why do you get indigestion at Christmas ?

 2.圣誕期間為何容易消化不良 ？

Indigestion can be caused by eating a heavy meal, drinking excess alcohol, smoking or stress. All these things go hand in hand with Christmas.

暴飲暴食，大量飲酒，吸煙或過(guò)度壓力都會(huì)造成消化不良。所有這些事情在圣誕期間都非常普遍。

Step 3: What is indigestion ?

3.什么是消化不良 ？

Indigestion is a pain felt in the abdomen just underneath the rib cage. It is caused by an excess stomach acid. The stomach produces a mucous to protect its lining from this acid but if there is too much acid the stomach lining can become inflamed.

消化不良是指胸腔以下的腹部感到疼痛，是由于胃酸過(guò)多造成的。胃分泌一種粘液來(lái)保護(hù)內(nèi)膜免受酸的傷害，但是如果胃酸過(guò)多，胃內(nèi)膜會(huì)受到灼傷。

Step 4: Eat regular meals

4.進(jìn)餐規(guī)律

If you leave long gaps between meals the acid has more time to act on the stomach lining. Eat a balanced meal for breakfast and lunch.

如果兩餐相隔時(shí)間太長(zhǎng)，胃酸有更多時(shí)間作用于內(nèi)膜。早餐和午餐飲食要平衡。

If you have overindulged this Christmas, choose smaller portions for dinner to compensate.

如果圣誕節(jié)期間過(guò)度放縱，晚餐進(jìn)食少一點(diǎn)來(lái)補(bǔ)償。

Step 5: Cut down on unhealthy food

5.減少不健康食物

Try to stay away from fatty foods. These are in abundance over the Christmas period so if you can't stay away from them altogether then try to cut down.

努力遠(yuǎn)離脂肪含量高的食品。圣誕期間有大量高脂肪食品，如果不能避免的話，盡量少吃一點(diǎn)。

It is also wise to cut down on alcohol. Drink water and fruit juices instead.

減少飲酒量也是明智的，可以選擇飲用水和果汁。

Step 6: Give up smoking

6.放棄吸煙

Smoking can be a cause of indigestion too.

吸煙也會(huì)造成消化不良。

Step 7: Sleep well

7.保證睡眠

Changing your sleeping position can help ease the symptoms of indigestion. Prop yourself up with an extra pillow so that you are sleeping in a more upright position. This will aid digestion.

改變睡眠姿勢(shì)可以緩解消化不良的癥狀。多墊一個(gè)枕頭，抬高頭部位置，這樣可以以更加筆直的姿勢(shì)入睡，幫助消化。

Step 8: Reduce stress levels

8.緩解壓力

Although Christmas can be a stressful time this can make the symptoms of indigestion worse. If coping with all the arrangements for Christmas day is causing you stress, try delegating jobs to your family and sharing the responsibility.

圣誕節(jié)是非常有壓力的時(shí)刻，會(huì)導(dǎo)致消化不良的癥狀惡化。如果處理圣誕節(jié)期間的事務(wù)讓你感覺(jué)到壓力，可以讓家人分擔(dān)責(zé)任。

Step 9: Non-prescription treatments

9.非處方治療方法

These are treatments available from your pharmacist without a prescription.

這些方法不需要處方就可以在藥劑師那里拿到。

Antacids neutralise the acid and prevent the stomach contents flowing back into the oesophagus and causing heartburn. They are available in tablet, capsule, liquid or powder form.

抗酸劑可以中和胃酸，防止胃里的食物反流回食道，造成燒心。抗酸劑有片狀，膠囊，液體和粉狀。

If your symptoms are difficult to control with antacids, you might want to try H2 blockers which reduce the amount of acid your stomach produces.

如果用抗酸劑難以緩解癥狀，可以嘗試H2受體阻斷藥，能夠減少胃分泌的胃酸。

Step 10: Ask your doctor

10.向醫(yī)生求助

If your symptoms persist, then ask your doctor about other treatments available.

如果癥狀持續(xù)，向醫(yī)生了解其他治療方法。
