The stomach is an important organ in the human digestive system. It has the functions of storing food, digesting food, and secreting gastric acid and digestive enzymes. Chen Lan introduced , the "Mr. Bao's Rice" in the play is indeed easy to digest, but "easy to digest" does not mean "good for the stomach."
"In daily life, people often 'drink rice' when eating soup and rice. If they cannot chew fully when eating, it will cause a great burden to people with poor gastrointestinal function, and even irritate the gastrointestinal mucosa and cause gastrointestinal problems. Discomforts such as bloating and stomach pain." Chen Lan explained that the soup in Tangzuke rice may neutralize part of the gastric acid and weaken the digestive function of gastric acid. Therefore, people with poor digestive function are not recommended to eat Tangzuke rice regularly. In addition, since soup rice does not need to be chewed like rice, it may affect the chewing function in the long run, leading to a weakening or degradation of the ability to chew dry and hard food in the future, and even affecting the development and function of facial muscles.
Chen Lan said that soup rice is different from porridge. After porridge is boiled for a long time, the rice grains absorb water and swell and become sticky. The rice grains and water blend together. Even if the mouth does not chew fully when eating, the stomach can easily digest it. However, in soaked rice after brewing with hot water or soup, the rice and water are not as thoroughly mixed as porridge. If it is swallowed into the stomach without being fully chewed, it will increase the burden on the stomach. In addition, the taste and nutritional value of soaked rice made from overnight rice and vegetables are not as good as fresh rice. Overnight food may also breed certain germs. It can be seen that drinking porridge is healthier and more nutritious than eating soaked rice.
Chen Lan also reminded that there are many carbohydrates in soup rice, which can be converted into sugar and energy in the human body after consumption, leading to an increase in blood sugar levels in the body. Therefore, it is not recommended for people with high blood sugar to eat it regularly.

What should be done to nourish the stomach correctly
So how to avoid hurting the stomach and nourish the stomach correctly? She suggested that food hygiene should be paid attention to in life, such as washing hands before meals and after using the toilet, cooking raw and cooked dishes separately, fully heating refrigerated overnight dishes before eating them, and not eating moldy food. Second, pay attention to a light diet. A high-salt diet is not only bad for the cardiovascular system, but also has a great impact on the stomach. If you want to nourish your stomach, try to eat less pickles and other high-salt processed foods, and eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. Third, quit smoking and limit drinking. The gastric mucosa is very sensitive to smoke and alcohol. Smoking and drinking will irritate the gastric mucosa, destroy the protective layer of the stomach, and make the gastric mucosa more susceptible to gastric acid erosion. Fourth, chew slowly and swallow the food in your mouth before chewing it thoroughly, which will increase the burden on the stomach. If you eat too fast, you will swallow too much gas, causing discomfort such as bloating. When eating, you can consciously remind yourself to chew a few more times before swallowing, and you can slowly develop a habit. Fifth, you should keep your emotions stable. The stomach is an emotional organ. When the human body is in tension, anxiety, excitement and other emotional fluctuations, it will affect the regulation of nerves and endocrine, and ultimately affect the gastrointestinal function, leading to gastrointestinal dysfunction and intestinal discomfort. symptoms.
Chen Lan pointed out that some citizens do not pay attention to stomach pain and bloating and other conditions, do not go to the hospital or take medicine indiscriminately, and only regret it when it becomes a serious illness. If there is stomach discomfort, seek medical treatment in time, and at the same time, seek medical advice under the guidance of a professional doctor. Treat with medication.
