Sparing diet
A gentle diet involves a special nutritional therapy that has a mild effect on the digestive system. Such a diet contains a sufficient amount of nutrients and is based on the main principles of a balanced diet, which is considered complete and easily digestible.
A sparing diet is designed for a fairly long period, since the range of products used in it is quite wide. The main secret of this diet is cooking technology.
The meals used with this diet should be light. The average daily calorie content with such a diet should be 2250 kcal. At the same time, 85 grams of proteins, 90 grams of fats and 250 grams of carbohydrates should enter the body daily. True, all these indicators depend on the type of disease in which a sparing diet is used.
The presented type of food is intended for people suffering from diseases of the intestines, gallbladder, pancreas, stomach, intestines and liver. Sometimes doctors recommend combining this diet with others, most often a salt-free or diabetic diet.
In order to be able to constantly cook food that is gentle on the digestive organs, you must definitely know the technology of its preparation. In addition, it is necessary to familiarize yourself with the list of recommended and prohibited products.
Cooking technology with a gentle diet
Of all the technological processes known to the world that are used for cooking, only three are suitable for this type of food: stewing, baking and cooking. The main feature of cooking dishes is that, when consumed, they do not have any thermal, mechanical or chemical effect on the digestive organs.
Large pieces of food, fresh fruits and vegetables with skin, solid food, tough meat, tendons, etc. can have a harmful mechanical effect. To make food soft enough, it needs to be stewed or cooked for a long time. For example, meat is best cooked in the oven or steamed.
A sparing diet for gastritis categorically prohibits the use of chemical irritants, which are various spices, salt, distillates, black coffee, strong broths, fried foods and meat sauces.
A prerequisite for observing the described diet is to avoid temperature irritants. This involves avoiding foods that have extreme temperatures because they have a negative effect on the stomach lining. It is better to replace hot food with warm food, and also avoid ice cream and other very cold foods.
