Although rice porridge is very light, it may be dull, but it is beneficial to prolong life.

Cao Tingdong, a famous health care practitioner in Qing Dynasty, fell ill and never left his hometown. He devoted himself to the countryside and mountainous areas and became a master of literature. His book Sikuquanshu was also widely used. Because of the medical environment at that time, Cao Tingdong was able to live a long life in his nineties, which became a health story. Cao Tingdong also combined the ancient people's health care experience with his own practical experience, and wrote an essay on health care, named Old and Old Constant Words. A sense of security for the elderly means old age and physical decline, which means providing for the aged, being healthy and living longer. Cao Tingdong said in the book "Morning Star": "Eating light porridge on an empty stomach every day can promote innovation, promote fluid production, and speed up the stomach, with great benefits. If you mix something sweet and salty, it is a normal diet. " Make it clear that porridge is equal to ordinary food if it is matched with other ingredients.

Sun Simiao, a medical scientist in the Tang Dynasty, studied medicine as a teenager because of illness, and kept in good health with the wisdom of Buddhism and Taoism. He lived to 100 years old and advocated eating rice porridge in the morning. In addition, traditional Chinese medicine porridge, with "rice gas" and water as "leading drugs", regulates the body according to the "biological clock" of internal organs and treats diseases.

There was no refrigerator in ancient times, and porridge was eaten at low temperature after every meal was cooked. Nowadays, it is used to satisfy hunger. When the porridge is cooked, put it in the refrigerator when you can't eat it, cook it when you want to eat it, and add other accessories. But as a health porridge, it is still freshly cooked and healthy.
