Breakfasts for a soft diet
When a soft diet is mentioned, we talk about foods that are not irritating to avoid the stimulation of gastric juice secretion, and are not rich in saturated fat, it is also known as a protective diet, since it is usually used after some medical treatment or during illness.
1. Fruits for breakfast
Cooked fruits, and very ripe fruits that are not acidic, such as banana or pear, are well received by the body, especially when we want to prevent the digestive system from being overloaded.
All types of fruits are allowed except those that provide the greatest amount of fiber. So, therefore, pieces such as plums should be discarded. However, apples and bananas are highly recommended.
2. Steamed food
When we steam food, we avoid the addition of fat and conserve its vitamins and minerals.
Therefore, during breakfast we can also incorporate soups or salads to which we add steamed vegetables.
