The reason why I recommend these foods to you is that some traditional Chinese medicines are indeed very effective in strengthening the spleen and stomach, but everyone must understand that all medicines are toxic, and taking Chinese medicines frequently will definitely cause some harm to your body. Therefore, medicinal supplements are really not as safer and more effective as food supplements. If you don’t like the above foods, you can make some eight-treasure porridge yourself, which can also help strengthen the spleen and stomach.
