There are various types of stomach-friendly foods, which can be categorized into the following major groups: 1. Porridges and soups: Such as millet porridge, rice porridge, pumpkin porridge, and various soups. These are mildly sweet, delicious, and easily digestible, thus benefiting the stomach. 2. Vegetables and fruits: Fruits such as apples, bananas, grapes, and pears, and vegetables such as Chinese cabbage, potatoes, and yams are rich in vitamins and trace elements that are beneficial to the gastrointestinal tract. 3. Dairy products and nuts: Dairy products such as milk and yogurt, and nuts such as peanuts and walnuts, help protect the gastric mucosa. Moderate consumption is beneficial to the stomach. 4. Other foods: Such as red dates, honey, and active yogurt, which are not only nutritious but also have specific stomach-nourishing functions, such as maintaining a balanced intestinal flora and promoting gastrointestinal motility.
