The host explores the methods of conditioning and understands the way of keeping in good health. Welcome to Zhongjing Health House. Today, our guest is Mr. Gao Pu, Vice President of China Medicinal Diet Research Association. Hello, President Gao.
Hello, Gao Pu, Vice President of China Medicinal Diet Research Association.
President Gao, the host, we introduced some medicated diets related to porridge to you in previous programs. It seems that many people in China have made this medicated diet into porridge to nourish their bodies since ancient times.
Gao Pu porridge, vice president of China Medicinal Diet Research Association, was a kind of soup in ancient times. According to Zhou Shu, Emperor, making cereal into soup means making cereal into porridge. There are many kinds of porridge. At present, there are more than 300 kinds of porridge in our medicated diet. The most common ones are mung bean porridge and red bean porridge, which are used to clear away heat and relieve summer heat. Red bean porridge is used to eliminate water and reduce swelling, so it is widely used.
Moderator: Today, I will introduce a kind of medicated porridge suitable for winter. The name is yam jujube porridge. Let's go to the kitchen and see what ingredients we need to prepare.
Explaining "yam jujube porridge" requires 30 grams of yam powder, 30 grams of jujube and 250 grams of glutinous rice.
Chop the dried yam bought from the drugstore first, then remove the core from the soaked red dates, wash them for later use, and soak the glutinous rice for about 20 minutes, so the porridge will taste better. In this way, the preparation of this medicated diet is completed.
As you can see, this yam and jujube porridge needs the raw materials we usually eat, and it is also easy to buy. Let's first understand the efficacy of these raw materials. First, let's watch a short film and learn about yam.
Yam is a dioscoreaceae plant, which is wild or cultivated all over China. Because yam contains 16 kinds of amino acids, vitamin C and other nutrients, and has the effects of strengthening the spleen, tonifying the lung and strengthening the kidney, it can often be seen at the family table in China.
The host, President Gao, described the medicinal value of this yam. I remember there seems to be a legendary story about this yam. According to legend, in the ancient Tangyin countryside, there was a very bad couple. This daughter-in-law has been expecting her mother-in-law to die early, so the meal she cooks every day is very simple, just a bowl of porridge. As a result, after a while, my mother-in-law was weak and bedridden. As a result, an old Chinese doctor in the countryside knew about it. After the old Chinese doctor learned about it, he wanted to cooperate. One day, he called the couple and gave them a powder, saying that you cooked porridge with this powder for your mother-in-law, and I raised her for one hundred days before she died. As a result, the young couple took the powder back and did it, just like giving it to their mother-in-law in this porridge every day. Unexpectedly, after ten days, my mother-in-law can get up and move. After a hundred days, my mother-in-law was fat in vain. Later, she met everyone in the village and praised her daughter-in-law for being kind to her. Coupled with the training of old Chinese medicine practitioners, this pair of rebels can be said to be a pair of dutiful sons. This is a legendary story. Later, it was said that the powder and medicine used by the old Chinese doctor was the powder ground by this yam.
Gao Pu, Vice President of China Medicinal Diet Research Association, this yam is a medicine for invigorating qi and strengthening spleen. It can replenish qi and deficiency. In addition, the spleen governs the limbs and can grow muscles, so it can also eliminate fatigue and strengthen the body. So the old man recovered quickly. This is the legend of China's filial piety. The other is in nutrition, it contains a lot of protein, amino acids, starch and sugar, so its nutritional value to human body is very high, so we often use yam or it is good for the spleen and stomach, especially for the weak.
The host also has this yam and jujube porridge, which seems to be especially suitable for the elderly.
Gao Pu, vice president of China Medicinal Diet Research Association, is right, especially for people with weak spleen and stomach.
Moderator: Let's take a look at the specific practice of yam and jujube porridge.
The specific explanation of "Chinese yam and red date porridge" is to boil the soaked glutinous rice with strong fire first, and then simmer it for about 15 minutes. Because glutinous rice is sticky easily, so be sure to put more water. When the glutinous rice is cooked, add the red dates, then add the mountain powder into the pot, stir well, and continue to cook for 15 minutes.
President Gao, the host, while this porridge is still cooking, let's talk about another ingredient of yam and jujube porridge, that is jujube. According to Sun Guangxian's "North Dream" in the Song Dynasty, there was a woman who was over 500 years old and still graceful, and her face was as beautiful as a girl. Later, someone asked her what to do to prevent old age. Later, she said so. She said there was no other way, just three dates a day. Therefore, there is a folk proverb that eating three dates a day will never get old. It seems that this jujube really has such an effect, doesn't it?
Gao Puzao, vice president of China Medicinal Diet Research Association, is a very good medicine. It is recorded in ancient times that it is one of the five fruits. The bigger the jujube, the better the nutrition. It is recorded in Compendium of Materia Medica that it can strengthen temper, calm stomach, clear nine orifices and help the twelve meridians. Its benefits are very great. It can also replenish blood and soothe the nerves. In addition, it can be mixed with other drugs and has the function of detoxification. Therefore, the research of modern medicine and nutritional value shows that jujube contains many vitamins and amino acids needed by human body, but overall, its iron content is relatively high, which is really good for enriching blood. Therefore, eating some jujubes often is of great benefit to the human body.
Moderator: I don't know if the audience just saw the practice of "yam jujube porridge", so let's briefly review the practice of "yam jujube porridge" at the end of the program.
First, boil the soaked glutinous rice with strong fire, and then simmer for about fifteen minutes. When the rice is cooked, put the red dates in, then put the yam powder in the pot, stir well and continue cooking 15 minutes. In this way, "yam and red date porridge" is ready.
The host is used to eating big fish and meat at ordinary times. We really should often eat some simple porridge, which is suitable for people of all ages and constitutions. A bowl of hot porridge and two dishes of side dishes are usually extreme, but for every family, it has a plot that can never be solved. It is a warm plot, and this porridge is a good choice for health and longevity.
