People with weak stomachs tend to eat a lot of cabbage because it is rich in Vitamin U and K, which strengthen the stomach lining and enhance the regeneration of damaged areas. However, cabbage is not a universal remedy for everyone's stomach.

For people with weak stomachs and frequent indigestion, cabbage may not be helpful. Foods rich in dietary fiber, like cabbage, can actually worsen indigestion. Dietary fiber is not easily broken down in the stomach and passes into the intestines. There, it is fermented and digested by intestinal microorganisms. During this process, methane gas and other substances may be produced, which can worsen bloating symptoms. Since the stomach has difficulty breaking down these fibers, it also puts a burden on the stomach.

If frequent indigestion occurs but the gastric mucosa is not damaged, ginger may help. Ginger contains a large amount of enzymes such as diastase, protease, trypsin, and urease that aid digestion, so consuming it in moderation can reduce post-meal bloating. A Taiwanese study examined the changes in the stomach after 24 adults took capsules made from ginger and found that food in the stomach was expelled more quickly compared to when they did not take it. However, eating too much ginger can cause abdominal pain or diarrhea. About 2-3 grams per day is appropriate.

The problem may be that you haven't fixed the harmful lifestyle habits mentioned above. Sitting for long periods with a slouched back or severe turtle neck can also cause poor digestion. When your upper body posture is misaligned, your sternum and digestive organs become compressed. In such cases, you should first adopt the correct posture before eating ginger. When sitting in a chair, push your hips all the way to the edge of the seat and keep your back straight. Slightly lifting your head is also beneficial.
