What dishes should we eat often in summer to nourish our stomach?

When the heat strikes, many people can't help but eat cold drinks and other cold and stimulating foods, which may cause some damage to the stomach, so they should adjust their daily diet. So when it comes to vegetables, what kinds should we choose to nourish the stomach? Next, the editor will introduce them one by one. If you are interested, you can take a look together.

1. Cabbage. Cabbage is mild in nature, sweet in taste, non-toxic, and enters the stomach and kidney meridians. Cabbage is one of the best vegetables recommended by the World Health Organization and is also known as a natural "stomach dish". The vitamin K1 and vitamin U it contains can not only resist gastric ulcers, protect and repair gastric mucosal tissue, but also keep gastric cells active and reduce the chance of lesions. People suffering from gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer can drink cabbage juice every day. They can also mix it with honey and consume it, which can promote the healing of ulcers.

2. Spinach. Spinach is sweet and cool in nature. It can moisturize the liver, benefit the intestines and stomach, and relieve constipation. "Compendium of Materia Medica for Food Therapy" states: "It benefits the five internal organs, clears the intestines and stomach, and detoxifies alcohol." Spinach can promote stomach and pancreatic secretions, increase appetite, and aid digestion; the rich fiber can also help intestinal peristalsis and facilitate defecation. However, spinach has a high oxalic acid content, which hinders calcium absorption. It should be avoided from being eaten with high-calcium foods such as tofu and seaweed, or it should be blanched lightly before cooking to remove the oxalic acid.

3. Sweet potato. Sweet potatoes are mild in nature, sweet in taste, and nourish the spleen and replenish qi. "Compendium of Materia Medica" records: "It nourishes the middle, warms the stomach, and nourishes the five internal organs." Eating it in cold weather can nourish the stomach with positive energy, digest food and remove accumulation, and can also cleanse the intestines and lose weight. Many people think that they fart a lot after eating sweet potatoes, but it is actually due to gastrointestinal motility. However, sweet potatoes contain a lot of starch, which will be converted into glucose after eating, and are not suitable for diabetics.
