It is permissible to drink tea; however, if you have a gastric ulcer, it is advisable to avoid green tea, as it is relatively cooling in nature. Additionally, avoid strong tea, as it may irritate the stomach. Instead, drinking more milk and consuming raw eggs may help protect the gastric mucosa effectively. Proper diet and regular作息 (sleep-wake schedule) are extremely important. Avoid spicy, stimulating, raw, cold, or cooling foods. Regular physical exercise to enhance your body’s resistance to disease is highly recommended.
