Dr. Shen Yonghua
When experiencing excessive stomach acid and bloating, the following fruits can be consumed:
1. Banana: Bananas are low-acid fruits rich in potassium, which helps balance the body's acid-base levels. Their soft texture is also easy to digest and gentle on the stomach.
2. Watermelon: Watermelon is high in water content, which helps dilute stomach acid and relieve gastrointestinal discomfort. Additionally, watermelon has antioxidant properties that positively support stomach health.
3. Papaya: Papaya contains papain, an enzyme that helps break down proteins, aids digestion, reduces the burden on the stomach, and effectively alleviates bloating.
4. Apple: Apples are rich in fiber and pectin, which promote intestinal motility and aid digestion. Their natural sweet-and-tart flavor helps neutralize stomach acid and relieve discomfort.
5. Pear: Pears contain large amounts of pectin, which can inhibit stomach acid secretion. They also offer additional benefits such as moistening the lungs, relieving coughs, and lowering blood pressure.
