Some misunderstandings about keeping healthy and drinking porridge in summer;
You can't always drink porridge for three meals.
This mistake is often made by the elderly.
Experts say that it is really good to drink some porridge properly, but don't drink it at once. Porridge is a liquid food, which is worse in nutrition than rice with the same volume. And porridge is "not full". I felt full when I ate, but I was hungry again soon. In the long run, the elderly will be malnourished due to insufficient energy and nutrition intake. Therefore, we should also pay attention to balanced nutrition when drinking porridge. Boil the porridge thicker, eat it with meat dishes, or eat snacks between meals. , can replenish energy. Ice porridge is not advisable.
Ice porridge is a hot food in summer, but it is not suitable for the elderly and children who have a cold and are weak. Drinking too much ice porridge will not only block the sweat pores of the human body, but also make it difficult for metabolic waste to be excreted, which may also affect the gastrointestinal function.
People with diabetes should drink porridge in moderation.
Experts said: "Diabetes patients are generally more likely to be hungry, and porridge has the characteristics of fast digestion, which makes people eat quickly and want to eat;" Porridge itself is easily absorbed by the body in a short time, leading to a rapid increase or excessive fluctuation of blood sugar. "Experts suggest that people with diabetes should drink porridge in moderation, a small bowl at a time.
People with bad stomachs should drink less.
Many people think porridge nourishes the stomach. But in fact, this view is not comprehensive. Because you don't have to chew porridge carefully, you can't promote the secretion of substances that can help digestion in the oral salivary glands; And after the porridge with high water content enters the stomach,
It will dilute gastric acid, accelerate the expansion of the stomach, and make the stomach move slowly, which is also not conducive to digestion. Therefore, patients with gastric diseases can't always drink porridge, but should choose other diets that are easy to digest and absorb, chew slowly and promote digestion.
