Too busy at work, fear of growing meat, no appetite …… Many people can not eat properly for various reasons, and as a result, more and more people have stomach problems. The folk traditionally have “drink porridge to nourish the stomach” saying, is this really true? Drinking porridge to nourish the stomach in the general view, soft and rotten porridge is a natural food to nourish the stomach, but in fact, drinking porridge to nourish the stomach is not absolute. Because the reasons for each person’s bad stomach is different, if not to distinguish, then drinking porridge not only can not nourish the stomach, but will hurt the stomach. Can not drink: too much acid stomach porridge and rice is not the same, its main form is a kind of fluid, for gastric disease caused by too much acid stomach patients, drinking porridge will only stimulate the body to secrete more gastric acid, and even the phenomenon of acid reflux, so this kind of people are not suitable to drink porridge. Can drink: indigestion for the digestive function is not very good friends, is not too much to eat those for the stomach and intestines have high requirements of food, this time porridge becomes a good product can be nourished stomach. Because the stomach does not need to grind when drinking porridge, and can also promote the secretion of gastric acid, improve gastrointestinal digestive capacity, from this point of view indigestion can still drink porridge. Is it scientific to drink porridge for the stomach? There is some scientific basis for drinking porridge for the stomach: porridge is usually cooked to a thin consistency, which is similar to that of the digested surimi, and the stomach no longer needs to grind and digest it, so it can be directly sent to the small intestine for absorption. Therefore, porridge is easy to digest, easy to absorb, the “requirements” of the stomach is not high, for the “injured” stomach, there is no special “burden” to work. So, from the perspective of giving the stomach relief, drinking porridge has a certain role in nourishing the stomach, but if there are any nutrients in the porridge that can directly nourish the stomach, it can only be said that this is a good wish, there is no scientific basis. And, for acid reflux heartburn, that is, too much stomach acid caused by gastric discomfort, is not very suitable for drinking porridge stomach, and may even “add insult to injury”. Can I add some grains to my porridge? Coarse grains and grains relative to rice is not digestible, but the right amount of coarse grains and grains can also exercise the stomach’s digestive capacity, in fact, the stomach or have some benefits.
