Patients with chronic gastritis can consume meat in moderation during their daily lives. Meat is nutritionally rich, containing vitamins, proteins, and amino acids, which provide essential nutrients to the body, help improve immunity, and have a positive effect on the recovery of gastritis. However, patients should choose lean meats, such as fish and chicken, and avoid fatty meats and excessively greasy foods. In addition, the cooking method is also important. It is recommended to choose healthy cooking methods such as steaming or boiling in order to preserve the nutritional value of the meat and reduce oiliness. Patients with chronic gastritis can eat meat, but should do so in moderation and choose healthy cooking methods and types of meat.
