Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. He Haochen
Weakness of the spleen and stomach requires choosing easily digestible, nutrient-rich foods. Below are some recommended foods and dietary suggestions:
1. **Congees**: Such as millet porridge, Chinese yam porridge, pumpkin porridge, etc., which are mild and easily digestible, helping to nourish the spleen and stomach.
2. **Lean meats**: Such as lean parts of chicken and pork, which are rich in protein but low in fat, making them easier to digest.
3. **Fish and shrimp**: Freshwater fish and shrimp have tender meat and high protein content, which are gentle on the spleen and stomach.
4. **Vegetables**: Such as carrots, Chinese yam, pumpkin, lotus root, etc., which help strengthen the spleen and nourish the stomach, with moderate fiber content.
5. **Fruits**: Ripe bananas, apple puree, etc., which are easy to digest and contain beneficial nutrients.
6. **Warm-natured foods**: Avoid raw and cold foods, and choose warm-natured foods such as ginger, red dates (jujube), longan, etc.
