In terms of nutritional components, millet contains more minerals such as protein, dietary fiber and vitamins, as well as potassium, magnesium and iron than rice, which is more conducive to human nutrition. Moreover, rich dietary fiber is more conducive to promoting gastrointestinal peristalsis and preventing and relieving constipation symptoms. However, the carbohydrate content in rice is high, so it is best for diabetics to choose millet to avoid the abnormal increase of blood sugar after eating a lot of rice.
However, from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, eating millet and rice properly is beneficial to invigorating the middle qi, strengthening the spleen and nourishing the stomach, nourishing yin and moistening the lungs, clearing away heat and removing dampness, strengthening the stomach and sleeping peacefully. Therefore, for normal people, both kinds of rice can be eaten properly, and eating only one kind of rice for a long time is not conducive to the reasonable collocation of food.
In addition, to ensure the diversity of food, pay attention to balanced nutrition, not partial eclipse, not picky eaters. In addition to millet and rice, other grains, such as black rice and brown rice, can also be properly ingested, which is helpful to enrich the taste, supplement nutrition and enhance physical fitness with vegetables and meat.
