Dietary advice
Many people think porridge nourishes the stomach. But in fact, this view is not comprehensive. Because you don't have to chew slowly, you can't promote the secretion of things that can help digestion in the oral salivary glands. Moreover, porridge with high water content will dilute gastric acid after entering the stomach, accelerate the expansion of the stomach, and make the stomach move slowly, which is also not conducive to digestion. Therefore, patients with gastric diseases can't always drink porridge, but should choose other foods that are easy to digest and absorb, chew slowly and promote digestion.
