Dr. Zhou Chao
For daily management of chronic gastritis, attention should be paid to dietary habits: opt for smaller, more frequent meals eaten at regular times and in consistent portions; avoid spicy, stimulating, and greasy foods; increase intake of green vegetables and fruits; and incorporate spleen- and stomach-nourishing foods such as millet porridge, Chinese yam porridge, and shiitake mushrooms. Ensure adequate warmth for the gastric region—especially during summer—by avoiding prolonged direct exposure to air conditioning. Maintain a balanced schedule for work and daily life, cultivate a positive mental state, and engage in regular physical exercise.
