Olive Oil
Olive oil, as a primary cooking or drizzling option, adds healthy fats and anti-inflammatory properties to meals. Its inclusion in the diet supports gastritis management by reducing inflammation in the stomach lining.
Extra-virgin olive oil contains antioxidants and monounsaturated fats, known for their anti-inflammatory effects. These properties aid in reducing symptoms associated with gastritis while providing essential nutrients.
Incorporating extra-virgin olive oil into salad dressings or using it for light sautéing enhances flavors and offers gastritis-friendly benefits due to its anti-inflammatory nature. [4]
Lentils
Both high in fiber and nutrients, lentils and broccoli offer a stomach-friendly source of protein and carbohydrates. Including lentils in meals provides a nutritious yet gentle option for individuals managing gastritis, supporting digestive health and overall well-being.
Lentils can be incorporated into various dishes, from soups to salads, providing a versatile and nutritious option for individuals with gastritis.
Adopting a gastritis-friendly diet is a crucial step toward alleviating symptoms and regaining control over one’s well-being. Making informed food choices ensures a proactive approach to reduce discomfort and promote health, ultimately fostering an improved quality of life for those with this challenging condition.
