The saying that porridge nourishes the stomach seems to have long been deeply rooted in people's minds, but porridge nourishes the stomach is not suitable for everyone. We used to have poor living conditions, such as not being able to eat enough or eat well, and many people suffered from atrophic gastritis, which led to insufficient gastric acid secretion. That's why we eat porridge. Eating porridge can promote the secretion of stomach acid, aid in food digestion, and also increase blood sugar, which is why there is the saying 'drinking porridge to nourish the stomach'.
Eating porridge to nourish the stomach is a fallacy
However, with the improvement of people's living standards, they eat well and are more full, which also stimulates the secretion of a large amount of stomach acid, leading to a significant increase in patients with reflux esophagitis.This group of patients is not suitable for drinking porridge to nourish their stomach. "Porridge is acidic, and continuing to drink porridge will only add fuel to the fire."
Porridge is swallowed without chewing, without sufficient mixing with saliva, and cannot be initially digested by amylase in saliva. At the same time, there is a lot of water in the porridge, which dilutes gastric juice when it enters the stomach, all of which become reasons for the difficulty in digesting porridge; In addition, drinking porridge increases the capacity of the stomach and provides less heat, which not only increases the burden on the stomach to a certain extent, but also results in relatively insufficient nutrition. So patients with stomach diseases should not drink porridge every day. As long as they chew dry rice slowly, it is not only harmless to the stomach but also promotes digestion, which is beneficial to health. For modern urbanites with excessive gastric acid secretion, it is necessary to supplement with active ingredients. The amino groups in active ingredients neutralize our gastric acid, keeping the stomach in a weak acidic environment; In daily diet, you can eat Mantou, steamed stuffed buns, noodles and other pasta. The pasta is alkaline, which can balance the acid and alkali in the stomach and help reduce the incidence of stomach disease.
Dietary Attention for Stomach Nourishing:
(1) If you don't feel hungry or eat, you will get eight points. It means not eating when you are not hungry, only eating until you are 80% full, suitable for adults.
(2) The proportion of different foods consumed by the human body is approximately 3:3:1 for grains: vegetables: meat.
(3) Animal fat in meat poses a significant health hazard. The solution is to boil meat over low heat for more than 1 hour, and a large amount of saturated fatty acids in animal fat will be converted into unsaturated fatty acids, greatly reducing the harm to the human body.
(4) Eating apples and bananas regularly is beneficial for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular health, and moderate amounts of honey can also prevent and treat constipation. Eating pears regularly can moisten the lungs and reduce phlegm.
(5) Dairy products and legumes are the best sources of protein and calcium. A simple way to eat legumes (such as soybeans and black beans) is to soak them in cold water for about a day, then boil them into porridge, which can prevent osteoporosis and have a good auxiliary effect on lower back and leg pain caused by calcium deficiency.
(6) Taking moderate amounts of vitamins and trace elements every day can promote health.

(7) Drink a cup of warm water every morning. Human cells in body fluids are like fish in water, requiring frequent drinking to maintain cell vitality.
(8) Do not drink tea after drinking alcohol. Eating pears or drinking honey water can relieve drunkenness (severe drunkenness requires medical treatment).
