How to eat to nourish the stomach?

Everyone knows that daily diet plays a critical role in maintaining the stomach. It can be said that it can directly affect digestion and other related functions. Especially if the diet is improper for a long time, it may lead to the occurrence of some stomach diseases. So how should we eat in our daily life to achieve the effect of nourishing and strengthening the stomach? Next, the editor will talk about several specific dietary conditioning methods.

1. Soft and slow: The food you choose should be easy to digest. It should be steamed or cooked thoroughly to make the food soft and easy to digest. Eat less baked, grilled, and hard food to avoid adverse stimulation to the gastric mucosa and increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract. Eat slowly and chew thoroughly to aid digestion. Don't eat too fast.

2. Fresh and light: Food must be fresh. Do not eat food that is expired or has been stored for too long. Cook food in a light way, avoid eating greasy, heavy-tasting food, and avoid spicy or irritating food.

3. Warm and clean: The food temperature should be appropriate. Do not eat or drink cold or icy food. Even though the weather is cold, you should not eat too hot food. Ingredients must be cleaned thoroughly and attention should be paid to cleanliness and hygiene when cooking.

4. Eat less but better: Eat less at each meal, only eat until you are 70% to 80% full, and avoid overeating. The variety and cooking of food should be fine and easy to digest. Rough food containing crude fiber is difficult to digest and may irritate the gastric mucosa, causing stomach pain, bloating, etc.

5. Supplement vitamin C: Vitamin C has a protective effect on the stomach. Maintaining a normal level of vitamin C in gastric juice can effectively exert the function of the stomach, protect the stomach and enhance the stomach's resistance to disease. Therefore, eat more foods rich in vitamin C, such as vegetables and fruits!
