Stomach health is essential for everyone in our lives. For those who don't have a good stomach, we often hear the saying: "Three points rule seven points nourishment". However, in the actual stomach nourishment process, many friends may unconsciously fall into some misunderstandings, which makes the original stomach nourishing plan cause more damage to the stomach. Today, we will correct these common stomach misconceptions and help you better protect your stomach.
Myth 1: Drinking porridge is a good remedy for the stomach.
Many people think that drinking porridge is a very nourishing way to nourish the stomach, especially for those with an upset stomach. However, this is not the case. Although porridge is an easily digestible food, it is also a liquid food that does not need to be chewed by the teeth and peristalsis by the stomach to digest. Drinking porridge for a long time will lead to a decrease in the peristalsis of the stomach, so that the gastric mucosa will gradually lose its ability to protect itself, thus aggravating gastric diseases.
Therefore, we recommend that you do not rely too much on drinking porridge in the process of nourishing your stomach. Instead, you should choose some nutritious, easy-to-digest foods such as lean meats, eggs, vegetables, etc. At the same time, it is also necessary to consume some whole grains and legumes appropriately to increase the peristalsis and digestion of the stomach.
Myth 2: Fasting if you have an upset stomach.
When the stomach is upset, some friends may choose to fast or only eat some light food. However, this is not the right approach. When the stomach is upset, stomach acid is still secreted, and if there is no food in the stomach to digest, stomach acid will continue to irritate the stomach mucosa, aggravating the stomach discomfort.
Therefore, we recommend that when you have an upset stomach, you should choose some mild and easily digestible foods, such as porridge, noodles, etc. At the same time, avoid excessive intake of greasy and irritating foods. During the fasting process, it is also important to replenish enough water and electrolytes to maintain the normal metabolism of the body.
Myth 3: You can nourish your stomach without eating meat.
Some friends think that eating meat will increase the burden on the stomach and is not conducive to stomach health. However, this view is not correct. Meat is rich in protein and other nutrients, which are necessary for the maintenance of normal physiological functions of the human body. At the same time, the intake of appropriate amounts of protein also helps to repair the damaged gastric mucosa and improve the immunity of the stomach.
Therefore, we recommend that you should consume high-quality proteins in your diet, such as lean meat, fish, eggs, etc. When choosing meat, you can choose some parts that are easy to digest, such as lean meat, fish, etc. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to the choice of cooking method to avoid irritation of the gastric mucosa caused by excessive greasy and spicy cooking methods.
In short, stomach nourishment requires us to pay attention to details in our daily lives and avoid falling into misunderstandings. With a sensible diet and proper exercise, we can help keep our stomach healthy and vibrant. Remember these three misconceptions and correct them, so let's move towards a healthy life together!
