Prophylaxis
Many gastrointestinal diseases can be avoided by a healthy lifestyle. Excessive alcohol consumption places a heavy burden on the stomach in particular and can lead to ulcers and cancer. Very fatty food and excessive coffee consumption promote the reflux of gastric acid into the esophagus and thus promote reflux esophagitis. Thus, a healthy and balanced diet can already do a lot for the intestines.
