In the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, the spleen and stomach play a central role in the digestive system, and their health status is directly related to the body’s ability to digest, absorb, and transform nutrients from food. For many people, eggs have become a preferred breakfast option due to their high content of high-quality protein, vitamins, and minerals. However, for people with poor spleen and stomach function, the consumption of eggs needs to be considered more carefully.
Eggs, although a treasure trove of nutrients, have a warm nature and may increase the risk of dampness and heat in the body. For people who are already weak in the spleen and stomach and have excessive dampness in the body, excessive or improper consumption of eggs may exacerbate discomfort, such as feeling heavier and more difficult to digest.
Therefore, if you are suffering from poor spleen and stomach, such as anorexia, abdominal fullness, and weak digestion, it is recommended that you choose more mild and digestible breakfast options in the morning, such as rice porridge, delicate steamed egg custard, or fresh fruit platters. These foods can reduce the burden on the spleen and stomach, and help the body absorb nutrients more effectively.
Of course, individual differences cannot be ignored. Everyone has different constitutions and their tolerance to food is also different. If you don’t feel any discomfort after consuming eggs in moderation, then moderate intake is feasible. However, it is recommended to use steaming and cooking methods, avoid deep frying or stir frying, to reduce adverse stimulation to the spleen and stomach.
In summary, when the condition of the spleen and stomach is poor, breakfast should mainly be light and easily digestible. Although eggs are good, it is necessary to adjust the amount and method of consumption according to personal constitution and feelings to maintain the long-term health of the spleen and stomach.
