Is chronic gastritis considered a serious illness?

Patient's question:

My father has developed chronic gastritis due to irregular eating habits over the years, as well as frequent consumption of beer and meat, avoiding vegetables. He can't even eat dinner all day, and his body is gradually becoming thinner, causing the whole family great concern. I want to ask the doctor if chronic gastritis is a serious illness and does it recover quickly?

Doctor's answer:

If it's just chronic gastritis, this condition is not very serious, but it's important to actively adjust it. Pay special attention to adjusting dietary habits, try to avoid smoking and drinking alcohol, and don't eat spicy or greasy foods. Eat meals on time and in appropriate amounts, and consume more vegetables and fruits. Also, eat more foods rich in high-quality protein, such as eggs, lean meat, milk, fish, and shrimp, which are beneficial for stabilizing your constitution.
