Many people often have an uncomfortable stomach, in order to nourish the stomach, they will choose white porridge and rotten noodles that are easier to digest. But can white porridge and noodles really "nourish the stomach"?
Whether acute or chronic gastritis, or other stomach disorders such as gastric ulcers, the gastric mucosa is damaged more or less severely during the disease [1].

Although there are many causes of the disease [2], in order to minimize further damage, eating foods such as soft and easily digestible white rice porridge and noodles during special periods such as the seizure period and the remission period is indeed "just needed".
However, as long as a special period has passed, more attention should be paid to gradually supplementing nutrition, enhancing the defense of the gastric mucosa and overall physical fitness, and soft, easy-to-digest food is obviously not good for stomach health.
1. White rice porridge
Comments
The nutrients are mainly carbohydrates and water. Dietary fiber, B vitamins, minerals and other nutrients are insufficient. Single nutrition is not conducive to stomach health.
Improve your skills
You can add more grains, such as corn grits, millet, oats, etc.

2. Noodles
Comments
The protein content is higher than that of rice, but it is also mainly carbohydrates, and other nutrient losses are also more, and the nutritional value is limited.
Improve your skills
As long as there is no obvious discomfort in the stomach, you can add ingredients such as crushed vegetables, minced meat, eggs, tofu, etc. to balance nutrition in the noodles.

3. Soda cookies
Comments
Contains a certain sodium bicarbonate alkaline ingredients, can neutralize too much stomach acid to a certain extent, but the nutritional value is relatively low, similar to noodles, and generally soda biscuits contain a lot of added oil, salt, and even some contain added sugar, which are not good for health.
Soda biscuits do more harm than good, and it's best to eat less.
4. Grill the steamed buns
Comments
Steamed buns are made by fermenting wheat flour and noodles, the fermentation process can decompose part of the starch into smaller molecules of sugar, which can reduce the content of phytic acid and other components that are not conducive to digestion, and high-temperature roasting can further gelatinize starch, which is more friendly to the stomach from this point of view.
However, once the stomach can accept other foods, it is still necessary to eat with a variety of foods, and grilled steamed buns can only be part of the staple food.

5. Toast
Comments
Toast is similar to toast, but many breads add a lot of oil, salt, and sugar, which is not good for health, you can make your own bread or buy bread with less oil, salt, and sugar as much as possible.
Of course, it is only eaten as part of the staple food, or it is necessary to enrich the variety of foods.

6. Vegetarian
Comments
Big fish and big meat will indeed increase the burden on the stomach, and vegetarian food can reduce the burden on the stomach that was originally "tired" in a short period of time.
However, long-term vegetarian food needs to pay more attention to reasonable collocation, otherwise it is easy to lead to malnutrition, such as insufficient intake of iron and vitamin B12.
Vegetarianism, which does not guarantee adequate nutrition in the long term, is also not conducive to stomach health.

There are 6 magic weapons for daily protection of the stomach [3].
1. Eat regularly
Try to keep regular and quantitative meals, you can eat less and more meals, and don't overeat.
2. Don't be superstitious about soft foods
The stomach is an organ that eats soft, semi-liquid, and liquid food for a long time, which will weaken its ability to digest and process food.
Therefore, if there are no special circumstances, the choice of food, priority is given to rough processing, fresh and healthy ingredients, such as fresh vegetables and fruits, original nuts and so on.

3. Eat a varied diet
In general, in addition to the acute onset of stomach disease, stomach disease symptoms have not completely improved or there are food allergies, food intolerances, patients do not have any food contraindications, want stomach health needs adequate nutrition, grains, vegetables, fruits, meat, milk, nuts and beans should be eaten in moderation.
4. Eat gradually
For foods that are prone to flatulence, you can eat them gradually from less to more, and do not eat too much at once. For example, sweet potatoes, purple potatoes, buckwheat, beans and other miscellaneous grains; broccoli, cabbage flowers, edamame, bitter melon and other vegetables; nuts such as badan wood, and so on.

5. Make the hard texture of the food soft and sticky before eating
For example, to make mixed grains and rice porridge, it is necessary to soak the grains with a harder texture in advance, and choose electric pressure cookers to make them as soft as possible.
6. Chew carefully and swallow slowly
If you eat slightly hard food, you need to pay more attention to careful chewing, so that the food is in full contact with gastric juice and reduce the burden on the stomach.
7. Stay away from some food
Don't drink too much coffee, alcohol, gas-producing drinks (such as coke), strong tea, etc.
