White porridge

The benefit of drinking porridge is that it is easy to digest, which is beyond doubt. But it is not good for the stomach just because it is easy to digest. It depends on the situation. Some people just need to drink less porridge.

For example, patients with gastroesophageal reflux often suffer from acid reflux and heartburn. If they only drink porridge without eating other staple foods, it will not only fail to nourish the stomach, but will make them more annoyed the more they drink.

The ingredients of porridge are relatively simple, mainly carbohydrates. Excessive intake will lead to a decrease in the tension of the lower esophageal sphincter.

In addition, porridge is a bit too easy to digest, and it stays in the stomach for a short time, so the stomach acid cannot be neutralized well. All these may aggravate the symptoms of acid reflux and heartburn.

Patients with gastric ulcers and acute gastritis should also be cautious when drinking porridge. These stomach diseases have one thing in common, that is, there are different degrees of damage to the surface of the stomach wall, but porridge will stimulate the stomach to secrete more gastric acid, which may hinder the healing of the damaged area and may even aggravate the ulcer.

Of course, not all stomach problems can prevent you from drinking porridge. If your stomach is not damaged and you need food that is easy to digest, there is nothing wrong with drinking porridge.

As for the benefits, is there anything more important than refreshing?

But if you have a bad stomach, it is not recommended to drink coffee or tea every day, especially strong tea.

Substances such as caffeine and tea polyphenols are central nervous system stimulants. They can refresh you and your stomach. They can cause congestion, damage, secretory dysfunction, etc. of the gastric mucosa through nerve reflex, and aggravate the symptoms of gastritis and gastric ulcers.

There's nothing wrong with liking to drink tea and coffee, but you still have to know how to be moderate. It's best not to drink strong tea and coffee on an empty stomach, and if you have stomach problems, you should put them aside for a while.

Whole grains

Eating proper whole grains and vegetarian food is indeed very good for the body. It not only supplements sufficient vitamins and fiber, but also effectively lowers blood sugar.

But if you have poor digestion and usually have bloating and food accumulation, you should be careful when eating. Coarse grains are rich in dietary fiber and are relatively difficult to digest. They are more likely to cause bloating and abdominal pain, and everything you eat will taste bland. It is best to eat easily digestible fine grains.

In addition, normal people should still pay attention to the amount when eating coarse grains.

Studies have shown that the phytic acid contained in whole grains may inhibit the absorption of some nutrients, such as protein, zinc, vitamin A, etc.

About 50 grams of coarse grains a day is enough. For teenagers, the elderly, etc., the amount should be reduced appropriately on this basis. It cannot completely replace the staple food. It should be eaten with meat and fine grains.

☆ Ensure sufficient time for eating. Chew your food slowly and thoroughly, and it is best to eat for more than 15 minutes each time. Don't eat everything in a flash.
