Mica porridge

Bai Juyi, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, was very particular about health preservation. The poem "Morning Rise" says: "I sit up without thinking, and click my teeth thirty-six times. How to break the fast? A cup of mica porridge." It points out that not eating overnight is like fasting, so it is called "fasting". What should we eat to break the fast in the morning? Eat a cup of mica porridge. Mica, in the records of Taoist classics, is not only a medicine for curing diseases and maintaining health, but also a fairy medicine. "Compendium of Materia Medica. Jade and Stone" says: "Mica tastes sweet and mild, non-toxic... Long-term consumption can make the body light and prolong life, and it is not old, cold and heat resistant, and aspiring to be a god." Regular consumption of mica porridge can delay human aging.
