Stomach ulcer is a kind of chronic disease. It takes a long time to cure and has serious effects on our life and work, so prevention is the key. Then, what are the preventive methods for stomach ulcers?
1. Strengthen nutrition by choosing easily digestible foods that contain sufficient calories, proteins, and vitamins. For example, porridge, fine noodles, milk, soft rice, soybean milk, eggs, lean meat, tofu, and bean products; foods rich in vitamins A, B, and C, such as fresh vegetables and fruits. These foods can enhance the resistance of patients with stomach ulcers, which helps repair damaged tissues and promote the healing of ulcers. Patients with excessive secretion of pantothenic acid should reduce their intake of milk.
2. Limit high-residue foods. Avoid eating fried or oily foods, as well as foods with coarse fiber such as celery, leek, bean sprouts, ham, cured meat, dried fish, and various coarse grains. These foods are not only rough and hard to digest but also cause excessive secretion of gastric juice in patients with stomach ulcers, increasing the burden on the stomach. However, after processing these foods into purees and other easily digestible forms, they can be consumed.
3. Avoid eating strongly stimulating foods. Do not eat foods that stimulate gastric acid secretion, such as meat broth, raw onions, raw garlic, concentrated fruit juice, coffee, alcohol, strong tea, and overly sweet, sour, salty, hot, raw, cold, or hard foods.
