Dr. Shen Yonghua
Stomach-friendly foods refer to ingredients that help protect and repair the gastric mucosa, promote stomach health, and relieve gastrointestinal discomfort. These foods are typically rich in nutrients such as dietary fiber, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, which can aid digestion, reduce gastric inflammation, and enhance the resistance of the stomach lining. Recommendations:
1. Carbohydrate-rich foods: noodles, millet porridge, rice porridge, etc., which not only benefit the stomach but are also easily digested and absorbed by the body, making them excellent choices.
2. Nuts: such as peanuts and walnuts, which are rich in healthy fats and protein; moderate consumption is beneficial to the stomach.
3. Fruits: apples, pomegranates, papayas, etc., which are rich in vitamins and various trace elements, can soothe gastrointestinal discomfort and promote intestinal motility.
4. Oats: oats are rich in soluble fiber, which helps regulate gastric acid secretion; bananas contain natural anti-acid components that can neutralize stomach acid and protect the stomach lining.
5. Foods rich in high-quality protein: white fish meat and lean meat are rich in high-quality protein, which helps repair stomach tissues.
