To promote digestion and nourish the stomach, the following foods can be selected:
1. Staple foods: Congee made from millet, oats, sweet potatoes, coix seed, etc., are all good choices. These foods are not only easy to digest, but also have the effect of protecting the gastric mucosa, thereby reducing the burden on the stomach.
2. Vegetables: Such as tomatoes, carrots, winter melon, Chinese yam, etc., these vegetables place less burden on the stomach and are rich in trace elements, which helps in the recovery from gastric disorders.
3. Fruits: Apples, peaches, strawberries, etc., also have the characteristics of being stomach-nourishing and easily digestible; they contain abundant vitamins that can meet the body's needs.
4. Lean meats and fish: Such as chicken breast meat, fish meat, etc., which are high in protein content and easily digested and absorbed.
5. Soy products: Tofu, soy milk, etc., rich in high-quality protein and easily digested.
6. Fermented foods: Such as yogurt, kimchi, etc., which contain probiotics that help improve the intestinal flora and promote digestion.
