Millet and rice are sweet and flat, and both have the functions of tonifying the middle warmer, strengthening the spleen and regulating the stomach. After they are used to cook porridge, a large part of nutrients enter the soup, especially porridge oil, which is the essence of rice soup, and its nourishing power is no less than that of precious medicinal materials such as ginseng and radix rehmanniae. It is recorded in Zhao Xuemin's Compendium of Materia Medica in the Qing Dynasty that rice oil is "eaten by black and thin people, fat and white for a hundred days, and the function of nourishing yin is better than cultivated land. It is advisable to leave a bowl every day and take it lightly." Wang Mengying, a medical scientist in the Qing Dynasty, thought with great interest in his diet spectrum that "rice oil can replace ginseng soup" because it has the same function as ginseng.

Rice soup contains a lot of inorganic salts such as nicotinic acid, vitamin B 1, vitamin B2, phosphorus and iron, and some nutrients such as carbohydrates and fats. Rice soup is sweet and has the functions of benefiting qi, nourishing yin and moistening dryness. Drinking rice soup regularly is beneficial to children's health and development, and contributes to the digestion and absorption of fat. It is also ideal to give the baby rice soup as an auxiliary drink.

The magical medical case of rice

(1) "I have a colleague who went to see Chinese medicine because of his bad stomach. The doctor told her to drink more rice porridge and eat one or two dishes. When she came back, she did it immediately, strictly enforced it, and dared not eat food. She only drinks rice soup and rice porridge every day, and then she adds rice. In less than half a month, her colleague's physique began to recover, especially her complexion was particularly good, and her face was moist like a peach. "

(2) "I belong to the kind of person with poor physique and want to recuperate slowly through diet. Recently, I changed my daily breakfast into steamed stuffed buns with thick rice soup. One day I accidentally looked in the mirror and found that my skin was much more delicate and shiny-the previous skin was black and yellow. I didn't expect this little thick rice soup to have such a magical effect! "

Problems such as dull skin and long spots are actually caused by the retention of waste in the body.

The human body is a very intelligent system, and there are special "cleaners" in the body to remove waste. But how can this "cleaner" be so irresponsible and make people's skin dark and long? This is because your meridians are blocked. Although the "cleaner" wants to do his duty, he can't clean the skin deeply.

Now, rice has restored the patency of meridians with its strength, and the "cleaners" in the body have quickly removed the waste, so the skin has become white and tender again.

Second, the efficacy of rice soup

Drink Bufei Liquid in the morning.

"Summer fire is full of yang, selling lung yin, and high-grade meals and drinks moisten the lungs, making crops sweet and soil fertile." This sentence comes from "Ancient Heng Yan" written by Cao Tingdong, a famous health expert in Qing Dynasty. The hot weather in summer is easy to damage the lung yin in the body, and its countermeasure is to drink rice soup. The so-called "lung yin" is the body fluid that nourishes the lung, which is produced by nutrients and maintains the normal operation of lung function together with lung qi. After the lung yin is damaged, the throat cannot be moistened, resulting in dry throat, dry mouth and hoarseness; Can not nourish the outside skin, resulting in thin body and dry hair; There is even hyperactivity of fire due to yin deficiency, manifested as night sweats, fever of hands and feet, insomnia and dreaminess, impatience and irritability, cough with excessive phlegm and red tongue. In hot summer, in order to protect lung yin from harm, when eating, especially when eating breakfast, it is necessary to "pre-eat and moisten the lungs". This is because the lungs in the five internal organs belong to gold, while the grains belong to earth. According to the biochemical law of the five elements, soil can produce gold. Therefore, eating some soup made of grains in summer is conducive to nourishing the lungs and yin. The earliest extant theoretical work of traditional Chinese medicine, Huangdi Neijing Suwen Meridian Theory, says: "If you drink into the stomach, you will overflow the essence; if you lose it to the spleen, your temper will disperse the essence; if you go up, you will return to the lungs." It can be seen that "moistening the lungs with drinking" is reasonable. In addition, it is best to stay away from or eat less spicy and stimulating "heavy taste" food in summer, so as not to aggravate the loss of lung yin.
