I ate cabbage because I heard it's good for the stomach, but it actually made things worse? In times like this, it's better to eat 'this food'.

People with weak stomachs often eat a lot of cabbage. This is because it is rich in vitamins U and K, which strengthen the stomach lining and boost the regenerative capacity of damaged areas. However, cabbage is not a panacea for everyone's stomach.

Cabbage may not be helpful for people with weak stomachs who frequently suffer from indigestion. Foods rich in dietary fiber, such as cabbage, can actually worsen digestive problems. Dietary fiber is not easily broken down in the stomach and travels down to the intestines. There, it is digested through fermentation by intestinal microorganisms. If methane gas and other substances are produced during this process, symptoms of bloating can intensify. Since it is difficult for the stomach to break down, it naturally places a burden on the stomach as well.

If you frequently experience indigestion but your stomach lining is not damaged, ginger can be a remedy. Ginger contains large amounts of digestive enzymes such as diastase, protease, trypsin, and urease, so consuming it in moderation can reduce bloating after meals. A Taiwanese study observed changes in the stomachs of 24 adults after they took ginger capsules and found that food was emptied from the gastrointestinal tract more quickly than when they did not consume ginger. However, consuming too much ginger can cause abdominal pain or diarrhea. It is appropriate to consume about 2 to 3 grams per day.

The problem might be that you haven't corrected harmful lifestyle habits. Sitting for long periods with a hunched back or severe forward head posture can also hinder digestion. This is because poor upper body posture puts pressure on the solar plexus and digestive organs. In such cases, you should establish the correct posture before consuming ginger. When sitting, push your buttocks all the way to the back of the chair and keep your back straight. Slightly lifting your head is also beneficial.

If you frequently experience indigestion

Since they say ginger is actually better than cabbage,

I think it would be a good idea to give it a try.
