Professor Zhang from the Department of Health Care of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine pointed out that millet contains a variety of vitamins, amino acids, fats and carbohydrates, and has high nutritional value. Every 100g of millet contains 9.7g of protein and 3.5g of fat, which is not lower than that of rice and wheat. Generally, there is no carotene in cereals, but the content of millet is 0. 12 mg per 100 g, and the content of vitamin B 1 ranks first among all cereals. The sugar content of millet is also very high, 72.8 grams per 100 grams, and the heat output is much higher than that of rice. Therefore, millet can be said to be the most ideal tonic for old, weak, sick and disabled pregnant women.
Many women in northern China have a tradition of adding millet and brown sugar to regulate their health after giving birth. Millet porridge is rich in nutritional value, and has the reputation of "replacing ginseng soup". The reason why millet is favored by pregnant women is that the iron content of millet with the same weight is twice as high as that of rice, the vitamin B 1 is 3.5 times higher than that of rice, and the vitamin B2 1 times higher than that of rice. Now the cellulose, which is called the seventh nutrient, is 2-7 times higher than that of rice. Because of its high iron content, it has a great effect of nourishing yin and enriching blood after delivery, which can regulate the deficiency and cold constitution of parturient and help them recover their physical strength.
Under the pressure of work, modern people's stomach discomfort has become a common problem. When eating, loss of appetite has become the mantra of many people, and various drugs that help digestion and increase gastric motility are popular in TV advertisements. In fact, there is a kind of stomach-nourishing food which is the greenest and has the least side effects, and that is millet. "Compendium of Materia Medica" says that Xiaomi "treats nausea and dysentery, cooks porridge, benefits farmland, supplements deficiency and opens the stomach". Chinese medicine also says that millet is "warm in the stomach" and thinks that millet is sweet and salty, and has the effects of clearing away heat and quenching thirst, invigorating stomach and removing dampness, calming the heart and calming the nerves. It is more suitable for people with internal heat and weak spleen and stomach. Some people have a bad appetite. After eating millet, it can stimulate appetite, nourish stomach, strengthen stomach, promote digestion and prevent nausea and vomiting.

Millet porridge is a kind of healthy food, which can be boiled alone or added with red dates, red beans, sweet potatoes, lotus seeds and lilies to make nutrition porridge with different flavors. Millet can be made into cakes by grinding into powder, which is delicious. However, it should be noted that the nutritional value of millet in protein is not better than that of rice, because the amino acid composition of millet protein is not ideal, and lysine is too low and leucine is too high. Therefore, it is impossible for both women and the elderly to take millet as their staple food, so we should pay attention to collocation to avoid the lack of other nutrients.
