There are more and more diabetic patients in modern society, and many people are afraid to drink porridge, and even "talk about porridge discoloration", fearing that long-term drinking porridge will induce diabetes. In fact, as long as the porridge is drunk properly, the effect of supplementing the body is not under the medicine. So, what are the nourishing effects of drinking porridge?

Strengthening spleen and nourishing stomach

Chinese medicine believes that rice, millet and other ingredients commonly used in porridge are mostly "five grains", which enter the spleen and have the effect of strengthening the spleen and nourishing the stomach. "Compendium of Materia Medica" points out: "Millet (that is, millet) cooks porridge, which benefits Dantian, supplements deficiency and opens the stomach." According to the National Collection of Chinese Herbal Medicine, the efficacy of rice is: "Warming the stomach, benefiting qi and stopping diarrhea. Indications are irritability and thirst, fever due to dysentery, and summer heat. " "Compendium of Materia Medica" contains Kou Zongxuan's point of view: "(japonica rice) flattens the five internal organs and supplements the stomach qi, and its contribution is hard to add."

Improve the curative effect of drugs

Wang Shixiong, a famous doctor in Qing Dynasty, said in his "Resting Diet Spectrum" that "porridge is the best tonic in the world". In fact, porridge is not only a good tonic, but also has another wonderful function-enhancing drugs. In Treatise on Febrile Diseases, Zhang Zhongjing recorded in detail the function of Guizhi Decoction in relaxing tendons: "Take it for a moment, sip more than one liter of hot porridge to help the medicine." Drinking a bowl of hot porridge after taking Guizhi decoction can relieve evil spirits because of slight sweat, otherwise the effect of Guizhi decoction on dispelling cold and relieving exterior syndrome will not be fully exerted and will be greatly reduced.
