For the purpose of conditioning the body, eating porridge in the morning is the best. Porridge is best for eating on an empty stomach. It's best to have breakfast or dinner after getting up in the morning, but if it's dinner, it's not suitable for eating other foods, because dinner should be eaten less. "Old ancient words? Chenxing: "Eating light porridge on an empty stomach every day can bring forth the old and bring forth the new, and promote the production of fluid and stomach. Zhang Lai also said, "If you eat a big bowl of porridge every morning, your stomach will be weak on an empty stomach, and it will be full of energy, so you can make up for it ..."

In addition to paying attention to the time of eating porridge, there are two principles to pay attention to: one is to eat it warm, and the other is not to eat too much. Although porridge is easy to digest, as long as the stomach feels bloated, it has already hurt the stomach. Cao Tingdong's concept of quantity is "measuring abdominal pain". No one knows whether we are full or not. We control the amount by ourselves, instead of eating more and less, and the daily consumption should be consistent. Appropriate seasoning to increase the taste of health porridge is best eaten directly, but if it feels too light, you can also add salt, sugar, onion and ginger to taste. As long as it does not cause physical burden, if you have high blood pressure or kidney disease, you should limit the use of salt. People who lose weight had better not eat sugar. Others can be seasoned according to their own preferences. Salt: add salt to the porridge to taste, put it when it is cooked, and add it to the bowl when eating. Don't add salt at the beginning. In the Qing Dynasty, "Tiaodingji" mentioned: "If salt is added too early, things can't rot. Sugar: Some porridge products are very suitable for making sweet porridge, such as almond porridge and red bean porridge, but there are many sources of sweetness, such as sugar, brown sugar, rock sugar and honey. In terms of nutritional value, brown sugar and honey are the best. However, if you want to moisten your lungs and produce fluid, you should choose white sugar and rock sugar, which are relatively plain and effective. It should be noted that no matter what kind of sweetness, it is not suitable to put too much. Put a little before eating and stir well to improve the taste of porridge. Spicy: Onion and ginger have warm and spicy characteristics, which can dispel cold and sweat, stimulate appetite and warm stomach. In seasoning, it can remove the fishy smell and increase the aroma of porridge. It is especially suitable for making meat porridge. Just sprinkle a little chopped green onion or Jiang Mo before eating. Although both are warm ingredients, most people can eat them because they only put a little. In addition to proper seasoning, it is best not to mix with other dishes when eating health porridge, so as not to affect the absorption and effect of ingredients. ?
