There is a saying among the people that stomach diseases should be raised. Besides going to the hospital to relieve pain, we should pay more attention to our daily diet, eat less spicy food, have a light and mild diet, and have three meals a day regularly. Follow the following four principles in diet to nourish and protect the stomach:

First, the four principles of nourishing and protecting the stomach

1, soft and slow

The selected food should be easy to digest and cooked thoroughly, so that the food is soft and easy to digest, and eat less roasted, roasted and hard food, so as not to cause adverse stimulation to the gastric mucosa and increase the gastrointestinal burden. Eat slowly, chew slowly to help digestion, and don't wolf it down.

2, fresh and elegant

Food must be fresh, don't eat expired or stored for too long. Cooking food should be light, do not eat greasy and heavy-flavored food, and avoid spicy and irritating food.

Step 3 be warm and clean

The temperature of food should be warm and appropriate. Don't eat or drink cold food. Although the weather is very cold, you shouldn't eat hot food. The ingredients must be cleaned, and the cooking food should also be clean.

4. Less but better

Eat less every meal, just seven or eight points full, and avoid overeating. The variety and cooking of food should be fine and easy to digest, while rough food containing crude fiber is not easy to digest, which may also stimulate gastric mucosa and cause stomach pain and fullness.

Second, the stomach food recommendation

1, pumpkin-detoxification and stomach protection

Because it is widely rumored that eating pumpkin has the effect of losing weight and beautifying, there has been a pumpkin fever in recent years. "Compendium of Materia Medica" records: "Pumpkin is warm, sweet, and enters the spleen and stomach meridians", which can tonify the middle warmer, replenish qi, diminish inflammation, sterilize and relieve pain. It is rich in pectin, which can "adsorb" bacteria and toxic substances, including heavy metals and lead, and play a detoxification role. At the same time, pectin can protect the stomach from irritation and reduce ulcers.

For breakfast, you can cook porridge or soup with pumpkin to nourish your stomach.

2, carrots-enhance resistance

Carrots are sweet, and Chinese medicine believes that they "lower qi and tonify the middle energizer, benefit the spleen and diaphragm, moisten the stomach and intestines, level the five internal organs, and have the effect of food supplement". Rich carotene can be converted into vitamin A, which can improve eyesight, enhance resistance and prevent respiratory diseases. Carotene is fat-soluble, which is most suitable for stewing with meat and has a better taste.

Old people with gastritis often have bloating and discomfort. They can insist on drinking a glass of radish juice every morning and evening, whether it is green radish or white radish.

Radish juice can be squeezed out by a juicer, or it can be divided into two halves from beginning to end, scraped into mud from top to bottom with a small iron spoon, and then squeezed several times with both hands to make radish juice. Radish has the effect of smoothing qi and moistening stomach.
