1. Congee
Firstly, it's worth noting that drinking congee does indeed have some benefits for stomach health. Congee is warm and soft, easy to digest, and has long been viewed as good for stomach health.
According to Song Xin, a nutritionist at the Nutrition Department of Beijing Chaoyang Hospital, Capital Medical University, congee, when heated and boiled for a long time, contains more moisture and its starch is more fully gelatinized, making it easily broken down into glucose and absorbed into the bloodstream.
