Is cabbage, known for its health benefits, helpful for indigestion?
Indigestion is one of the conditions that affects more women than men. Common symptoms include bloating after meals, early satiety, upper abdominal pain and heartburn. Jeong Hae-in, a professor of gastroenterology at Kyung Hee University Korean Medicine Hospital, said, "Indigestion can worsen during winter as lower temperatures cause the body to contract naturally and reduce physical activity, which in turn slows down stomach function and movement." Rapid temperature changes and cold weather activate the body's sympathetic nervous system, leading to decreased gastrointestinal motility.
