People with gastrointestinal discomfort can also often eat millet porridge. Millet porridge is a kind of light food, which can be used as both staple food and health food. We can add some yam and medlar to millet porridge. Yam has the effects of invigorating spleen and stomach, invigorating qi and nourishing blood, and Lycium barbarum is also a medicinal material for invigorating qi and enriching blood. Mixing them together is a healthy diet with rich nutritional value. For people with weak spleen and stomach and insufficient qi and blood, this health-preserving meal is very suitable for them.
However, patients with stomach diseases are not recommended to eat millet porridge for a long time. This patient is a patient with gastric ulcer, because millet is coarse grains, which will promote the digestion of food in the stomach and enhance gastric motility, but the small particles in millet will stimulate the ulcer wound on the inner wall of the stomach and aggravate the symptoms of stomach pain. Therefore, it is not recommended that patients with gastric ulcer often eat millet porridge. These patients can eat semi-liquid food such as porridge or noodles.
Although millet and rice belong to the same crop, the nutritional value of millet is much higher than that of rice. Many people who like health care will drink a bowl of millet porridge in the morning or evening. Especially for people who are prone to anemia, drinking a bowl of millet porridge every day can improve anemia symptoms, because millet is rich in iron, and many anemia patients are caused by iron deficiency anemia. Although millet porridge is delicious, it is still troublesome to cook millet porridge, because the texture of millet is hard, so it must be soaked for a long time before cooking. When cooking millet porridge, you must cook it slowly, otherwise it will stick to the pot and burn.
