28.粥粉面Congee and Noodles

Stomach pain, bloating, belching, acid reflux, heartburn... These are all symptoms of chronic gastritis and gastric ulcers. As the saying goes: 9 out of 10 stomach problems! Given modern habits and dietary structure, stomach problems are no longer uncommon!
According to the World Health Organisation's statistics for the fourth quarter of 2015, the incidence of gastric disease is already as high as 80%, regardless of the severity of the condition, and is increasing at an annual rate of 17.43%.
There is no time to lose in the fight for your stomach! So the question is, what is the best food for the stomach? Many people say that drinking porridge nourishes the stomach and noodles nourishes the stomach, but when gastric patients have to adjust towards the diet structure of "porridge, powder and noodles", it does not have much effect on nourishing the stomach... The so-called stomach food is once again being questioned!
Gastroenterologists say that the effect of traditional "stomach-nourishing" foods such as congee and noodles on the stomach is different from the real thing. It varies from person to person!
The key to noodles being good for the stomach is that they are made with edible alkali, which neutralises excess stomach acid and is suitable for people with excess stomach acid. However, noodles must be cooked softly in order to nourish the stomach, otherwise they will hurt the stomach instead of nourishing it!
In fact, it is not an overnight process, but a long one! As the saying goes, "slow work makes perfect", and the same applies to nourishing the stomach. Even if it is a good food for the stomach, it is not always possible to "eat your way out of the disease", after all, once the stomach mucosa is damaged, it is not so easy to repair completely. But the following five kinds of food, not only eat often nourish the stomach, but also help to repair the gastric mucosa!
1. peanut rice

2. Oats

胃痛、胃胀、嗳气、反酸、烧心...这些都是慢性胃炎和胃溃疡的症状。俗话说：十胃九病！以现代人的生活习惯和饮食架构来说，胃病已经不是什么罕见的事了！
据世界卫生组织2015年第四季度胃病情况统计：不论病情轻重，胃病发病率已高达80%，并且正以每年17.43%的速度增长。
养胃行动刻不容缓！那么问题来了，什么才是养胃的食物？很多人都说，喝粥养胃、面条养胃，可当胃病患者都纷纷朝着“粥粉面”的饮食架构去调整的时候，却不见得有多大的养胃效果...所谓的养胃食物，再一次被质疑！
消化内科专家表示，粥粉面这些传统的“养胃”食物，养胃效果孰真孰假？因人而异！
面条养胃，关键在于面条添加了食用碱成分，可以中和胃部过多的胃酸，适合胃酸过多者。但面条必须要烹煮软烂才能起到养胃效果，否则养胃不成倒伤胃！
其实，养胃行动并非一朝一夕，而是个漫长的过程！俗话说“慢工出细活”，养胃也是同样的道理。尽管是再好的养胃食物也不见得一吃就能“食到病除”，毕竟胃黏膜一旦受损，便没那么容易完全修复。但下面提到的这五种食物，不仅常吃养胃，还有助于修复胃黏膜！
1.花生米
中医认为，花生有“悦脾和胃，滋养调气”的作用。
2.燕麦
燕麦被美国《时代》杂志认定为“全球十大健康食物”之一，所含的B族维生素以及膳食纤维等丰富的营养成分，具有益肠和胃、养颜护肤、保心护脉等功效。

板栗营养价值极高，有益气健脾之效。
