Functional Dyspepsia
Functional Dyspepsia

Q. As I've gotten older, I find I can't digest meat at all.

A.

This is due to a reduction in the secretion of stomach acid and digestive enzymes as a result of aging. Treatment is required to supplement these deficient digestive fluids and enzymes.

📝 Detailed Answer

나이가 들면 침 분비도 줄고 위산도 적게 나옵니다. 이를 위음허(胃陰虛)라고 합니다.

  • 비유: 엔진 오일이 말라버린 자동차
  • 치료: 말라버린 진액(소화액)을 보충하는 보음 치료

억지로 소화시키는 약보다, 부드럽고 촉촉한 음식과 함께 진액을 보충해주는 것이 좋습니다.
