From this point of view, drinking porridge is indeed nourishing for the stomach, and it is beneficial to the lack of gastric motility and less gastric acid secretion. So are the people.
But on the other hand, for patients with excessive gastric acid secretion, it is generally not recommended to drink liquid food such as porridge, so as not to stimulate excessive gastric acid and aggravate the condition. Therefore, the saying "drinking porridge to nourish the stomach" is not Applies to everyone. But even for healthy people, if they eat too much for a long time and the stomach function is in a weak "idle" state for a long time, they may suffer from decreased digestive function. From this point of view, drinking porridge is not a good thing to nourish the stomach. It's over.
