Because porridge is a good thing to protect the stomach. Porridge can nourish the stomach. Any food we usually eat needs to be digested by gastric juice, which is what Chinese medicine calls stomach qi, which means that when food is digested in the stomach, it will consume some gas in the human body. When people are uncomfortable, most of the body's qi will be called by the body's intelligent system to deal with diseases. At this time, the stomach gas used for digestion will be insufficient, and it is difficult to digest foods that consume a lot of stomach gas, because porridge does not need a lot of stomach gas to digest in the stomach, and porridge can nourish the stomach gas of the human body, so patients will instinctively want to eat porridge.
The stomach is already ill, and the stomach qi will definitely weaken. At this time, it must have a good rest. Don't digest all kinds of indigestible food. Only drinking porridge will not increase the burden on the stomach. Therefore, in the treatment of stomach diseases, the ancients first asked patients to drink porridge for three meals, even for one year, giving the stomach a full chance to rest. At this time, the stomach trouble will be fine, and no special drug treatment is needed. Therefore, children, the elderly, the physically weak, stomach gas is also weak, drinking porridge is the best way to keep fit.
The raw materials of porridge can be decided according to personal preference. Generally, rice is the most commonly used, because rice tastes the best. According to your physique and preferences, you can add other miscellaneous grains to cook, such as corn, millet, beans and so on. Or you can cook chicken soup, bone soup, beef soup, etc. Or you can add vegetables when the porridge is cooked.
If porridge is used as a health care method, we should also pay attention to the fact that porridge must be cooked and eaten now. You can't cook a big pot at a time and eat it slowly every day. This is the difference between it and soup, so we must pay attention to it.
