Which fruits are better to eat to nourish the stomach?

As a veteran patient with stomach problems, I can deeply understand the discomfort when stomach problems occur. We all know that stomach problems cannot be cured fundamentally. If you want to avoid stomach pain, the best way is to take care of it. So what fruits should you eat more to nourish your stomach?

1. Grapes

Grapes are not only a holy product for beauty, anti-aging and antioxidant, but also a representative of the stomach-nourishing fruit family. Grapes can replenish qi and blood, promote fluid production and quench thirst, strengthen the spleen and stomach, and promote urination.

Because grapes contain a lot of tartaric acid, they can help digestion. Therefore, eating more grapes can strengthen the spleen and stomach, which is beneficial to the health of the body.

Grapes can replenish qi and blood, promote the production of body fluids and quench thirst, strengthen the spleen and stomach, and promote urination.

In addition, grapes are the fruit that contains the most complex iron and have always been a nutritious food for patients with anemia. It is an excellent tonic for children, women and those with anemia. However, grapes are cold in nature, so it is not advisable to eat too much at one time, especially for those with cold stomach. The amount of food eaten should be strictly controlled, otherwise it will easily hurt the stomach.

2. Strawberry

"Compendium of Materia Medica" records that strawberries can moisten the lungs, strengthen the spleen and stomach, replenish blood, and invigorate qi. They are an excellent tonic for the elderly, children, and those with weak bodies. The nutritional balance of strawberries is very reasonable, and the vitamin C content is about 10 times that of the same amount of watermelon, grapes or apples.

However, people with weak spleen and stomach, and cold lungs and coughs should not eat too many strawberries. If you want to eat them, you should soak the grapes in light salt water for about 10 minutes, then rinse them with clean water before eating.

3. Papaya

Papaya has the effects of anti-aging and beauty, breast augmentation and beauty, calming the liver and stomach, and relaxing muscles and activating vitality. Papaya contains an enzyme that can digest protein, which is beneficial to the human body's digestion and absorption of food, so it has the effect of strengthening the spleen and stomach and helping to digest food.

Personally, I suggest that papaya is suitable to be eaten as a snack, which is just right when you are neither full nor hungry. In terms of production technology, it is recommended to eat it raw or slightly heated, but not for too long, otherwise the nutrients contained in the papaya will be destroyed by the high temperature.

4. Apple

Apples are rich in nutrients and warm in nature. According to measurements, every 100 grams of apples contains 6.5-11.2 grams of fructose, 2.5-3.5 grams of glucose, and 1.0-5.2 grams of sucrose; it also contains trace elements zinc, calcium, phosphorus, iron, potassium, and vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin C and carotene.

The effective ingredients in apples make them have the dual effects of lowering cholesterol levels and promoting bowel movements and stopping diarrhea. They also have a certain effect on lowering blood pressure and blood lipids. Since the nutrients contained in apples are both comprehensive and easily digested and absorbed by the human body, many people love to eat them.

Apples have the effects of promoting fluid production and quenching thirst, moistening the lungs and relieving restlessness, strengthening the spleen and stomach, nourishing the heart and invigorating qi, moistening the intestines, stopping diarrhea, relieving heat, and sobering up. Therefore, it is very suitable for infants, the elderly and people with stomach problems.

5. Banana

Bananas can enter the spleen meridian and stomach meridian. In traditional Chinese medicine, they are foods that can moisten bowels, moisten the intestines, and lower blood pressure. They are sweet and mild in nature, making them a very good fruit for nourishing the stomach and intestines.

However, Dr. Huang Zhongyu reminds us that "sweet foods can cause swelling, and sour foods can cause tendons to tense." Foods that are too sweet or sour, such as bananas and plums, are not suitable for people with sprains. They should be eaten after recovery, otherwise the condition will become more serious. In addition, foods like rice dumplings and pineapples are not suitable for eating when you have sprains or fractures.

6. Mulberry

Mulberries can nourish blood and moisten the throat. They also contain nutrients such as vitamin C and B complex. Like grapes, they are fruits with high antioxidant properties. According to traditional Chinese medicine theory, mulberries can nourish the spleen and stomach as well as the blood, so they help promote gastrointestinal absorption capacity and can also improve mild anemia.
