Such patients need to pay attention to their diet. The main foods that should not be eaten include cold foods, indigestible foods, and there may be more than 10 kinds of cold foods. Among them, cold foods mainly include pear, persimmon, bitter melon, winter melon, hollow vegetables, watermelon, eggplant, mung bean, oyster, snail, snapper, duck, mussel, etc. If consumed in excess by patients with spleen deficiency, they may affect the functioning of the spleen and stomach, cause indigestion, aggravate diarrhea, abdominal pain and other symptoms, and at the same time easily trigger or aggravate chronic diseases of the digestive system, such as chronic gastritis, chronic enteritis, etc. In addition, the cold foods mentioned above usually have the effect of nourishing Yin and clearing heat, and if consumed improperly, they can also damage the Yang energy of the spleen and stomach, thus aggravating the condition of spleen deficiency. In addition, patients with spleen deficiency should also pay attention to reduce the consumption of indigestible foods, including spicy and stimulating foods, as well as corn, buckwheat, sweet potatoes, taro and other crude fiber-rich, gas-producing foods, so as not to stimulate the gastrointestinal mucosa and increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract, thereby aggravating spleen deficiency. Patients with spleen deficiency are advised to eat foods such as stem rice, barley, jujube, white lentils, etc. At the same time, attention should be paid to the way of consumption, with easy digestion and lightness as the dietary principle, and pay attention to the acid-base balance of the diet, which can help alleviate spleen deficiency.
