The following are some foods that are considered particularly beneficial for stomach health:

1. Light and easily digestible foods: Fresh fruits and vegetables, porridge, noodles, and other similar foods can reduce the burden on the stomach and help it digest and absorb nutrients more effectively.

2. Nutrient-rich foods: For example, active yogurt contains probiotics that help maintain a balanced intestinal flora and promote gastrointestinal motility. Other examples include Chinese yam, red dates, and oats, which are rich in dietary fiber and vitamins, helping to promote intestinal motility and water absorption.

3. Medication调理: Patients with stomach diseases can, under a doctor's guidance, choose suitable medications to support stomach health, such as omeprazole capsules, Jianpi Pills, and Yangwei Granules. These medications can inhibit gastric acid secretion, protect the gastric mucosa, and alleviate discomfort caused by conditions such as gastritis or peptic ulcers.

4. Lifestyle habits: Maintaining good lifestyle habits is also very important, such as regular作息, avoiding excessive fatigue, reducing mental stress, quitting smoking, and limiting alcohol consumption, all of which are key aspects of promoting stomach health.
