The dietary principles for stomach health should focus on mild, easily digestible, and nutrient-rich foods. Below are some recommended foods:
1. Vegetables: Rich in fiber and vitamins, such as spinach, carrots, and tomatoes, which contribute to gastric health.
2. Porridge: Such as millet porridge, oatmeal, and pumpkin porridge, which are easily digested and absorbed, and can effectively relieve stomach pain.
3. Fruits: Such as bananas, papayas, and apples. These fruits are soft and easy to digest, and contain large amounts of pectin, which helps alleviate stomach pain and regulate intestinal function.
4. High-protein foods: Meats such as chicken and fish that are easy to digest and provide essential amino acids.
5. Fermented foods: Such as yogurt, which contains probiotics that help maintain the balance of the intestinal microecology.
6. Whole grains: Such as brown rice and oats, which are rich in dietary fiber and help gastrointestinal motility.
In daily life, it is also important to avoid spicy, greasy, overly cold, or hot foods; reduce the intake of stimulant beverages such as coffee and strong tea; eat regularly and in moderate amounts; chew food thoroughly and eat slowly; and maintain good living habits. If stomach discomfort persists, it is recommended to seek timely medical consultation and examination.
