Pumpkin porridge, which is considered sweet and warm in nature by Chinese medicine, belongs to the spleen and stomach meridian, and has the functions of invigorating the middle energizer, clearing away heat and toxic materials. It is suitable for spleen deficiency and weak qi, malnutrition, lung abscess and fire and water burns. "Compendium of Materia Medica" states "reinforcing middle energizer". Pumpkin contains citrulline, arginine, aspartic acid and vitamins A, B, C, pectin, cellulose and so on. Pectin in pumpkin can regulate the absorption rate of food in the stomach and slow down the absorption of sugar. Soluble cellulose can delay the emptying of food in the stomach and control the rise of blood sugar after meals. Pectin can also combine with excess cholesterol in the body, reduce cholesterol absorption and reduce blood cholesterol concentration. Therefore, pumpkin has the reputation of "lowering blood sugar and lipid". People with diabetes often eat this product as a meal, which can not only fill their stomachs, but also reduce blood sugar and blood lipids, killing two birds with one stone.
