Is gastric cancer hereditary? What dietary habits harm your stomach? Does eating congee really protect it?

Ji Jiafu, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and director of the Department of Surgery at Peking University Cancer Hospital, addresses these common concerns.

He advises avoiding overly hot or salty foods, limiting alcohol consumption and smoking, and not relying solely on congee. A balanced diet rich in protein and nutrients, along with healthy daily habits, can help maintain gastric health.
