How to make pumpkin and chestnut porridge

The mini pumpkin can be boiled twice, peeled and cut into small pieces (about 1 cm). Bring the water to a boil and add the pumpkin. After the water boils, cook it on high heat for 10 minutes. Use the back of a knife to flatten and crush the cooked chestnuts and add them to the pot. Add millet at the same time. Cook on high heat for 10 minutes, then simmer on low heat for at least half an hour. Turn off the heat and cover it for a while until it becomes sticky (personal experience is the best).

Pumpkin, also known as Japanese squash and rice melon, was introduced to my country very early and is widely planted and eaten, hence the saying "Chinese pumpkin". In my country, pumpkin is used as both a vegetable and a food, and is very popular in the countryside. In recent years, people have discovered that pumpkin can not only satisfy hunger, but also has certain therapeutic value, so the earthy pumpkin has become popular.

Effect 2: Pumpkin is rich in pectin and trace element cobalt. Pectin can delay the intestinal absorption of sugar and lipids; the content of cobalt is high, which is incomparable to any other vegetables. It is a trace element necessary for pancreatic cells to synthesize insulin. Eating pumpkin regularly can help prevent and treat diabetes.

Effect three: Pumpkin can also eliminate the mutagenic effect of nitrosamines, a carcinogen. The pectin in it can also neutralize and remove heavy metals and some pesticides in the body, so it has the effect of preventing cancer and poisoning, and can help patients with weakened liver and kidney function to enhance the regeneration ability of liver and kidney cells.

Effect 4: "Pumpkin fever" is now prevalent in Japan. It is not only suitable for young and middle-aged people who do not want to be fat, but also called "the best beauty food" by many women. The reason is that pumpkin has more vitamin A than green vegetables.

Suitable for people: It is suitable for most people, especially for obese people and middle-aged and elderly people.
