It is understood that the proportion of Chinese people suffering from stomach diseases is much higher than the global average. For stomach diseases, especially chronic gastritis, in addition to timely and effective treatment, it is also very important to pay close attention to diet.
Experts in gastroenterology remind that it is advisable to increase nutritional intake, eat more high-protein and high-vitamin foods to ensure that the body has adequate nutrients.
At the same time, increase the intake of high-vitamin foods and fresh dark-colored vegetables and fruits, such as green leafy vegetables, tomatoes, eggplants, red dates, etc. In addition, it is best to eat 2-3 fresh hawthorns per meal to stimulate gastric juice secretion and enhance the stomach's digestive capacity.
When suffering from chronic gastritis, one should drink more yogurt because the phospholipid substances in yogurt can adhere to the stomach wall, protecting the gastric mucosa and allowing the already damaged gastric mucosa to repair. In addition, lactose, a unique component in yogurt, when decomposed, produces lactic acid and glucuronic acid, which can increase the acidity in the stomach, inhibit harmful bacteria from decomposing protein to produce toxins, and at the same time protect the stomach from toxin erosion, which is beneficial for the treatment and recovery of gastritis. When taking oral antibiotics to treat certain inflammatory diseases, drinking yogurt not only replenishes nutrients but also avoids the side effects of antibiotics on the human body. Because yogurt contains a large number of active bacteria, it can rebalance the intestinal flora imbalance caused by antibiotic drugs and at the same time protect the gastric mucosa.
