Nutritional value of health porridge

I don’t know if you understand the nutritional value of health-preserving porridge. Now let me give you a detailed introduction to the nutritional value of this porridge.

Nutritional value of health porridge

Millet is also called Yaomi. Many women in northern my country have the tradition of using millet and brown sugar to nourish their bodies after giving birth. Millet porridge is rich in nutritional value and is known as "substitute ginseng soup". Since millet does not need to be refined, it retains many vitamins and inorganic salts. The vitamin B1 in millet can reach several times that of rice; the inorganic salt content in millet is also higher than that of rice.

Millet is rich in vitamins B1, B2, etc., which can prevent indigestion and mouth sores.

Millet has the effect of preventing nausea and vomiting.

It also has the function of nourishing yin and blood, which can regulate the cold constitution of parturient women and help them recover their physical strength.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that millet tastes sweet and salty, and has the effects of clearing away heat and thirst, strengthening the stomach and removing dampness, and harmonizing the stomach and promoting sleep.

Suitable people for health porridge

It is a tonic suitable for the elderly, the sick and postpartum women.

Millet and Red Dates Porridge

Main effects: Nourishes the spleen and relieves restlessness, calms the mind and soothes nerves, treats insomnia, nightmares, poor appetite and dry stools.

Method: The first ingredient we need is jujube. Wash the jujube and put it aside, then turn on the fire to cook porridge. Here we can also review some of the things we need to pay attention to when making porridge that we mentioned in our previous program. For example, we should put millet in after the water is completely boiled. This will not only cook the porridge faster, but also will not stick to the bottom of the pot. Another thing is to warn you to avoid using a pressure cooker to make millet porridge, because the millet particles are relatively broken and can easily block the valve of the pressure cooker, which will cause some safety hazards. Then put the jujube in and cook it with the porridge. Jujube is also very comprehensive in nutrients. It not only has a sedative, hypnotic and blood pressure-lowering effect, but also can delay aging, enhance the body's resistance and maintain skin elasticity. After putting the jujube in and boiling it, a layer of foam will appear on the top, and then we have to skim off the foam on top and remove the impurities. Then cook it on low heat. If you are worried about overflowing the pot, you can add a little cooking oil.

It will be better if you add some honey before drinking this red date millet porridge. Honey contains not only glucose, fructose, sucrose and other major sugars, but also vitamins, essential amino acids and trace elements that are indispensable to the human body. It can also make the porridge taste more delicious. But here I want to warn you that you must put the porridge in a not too hot state before adding honey, because if the temperature of the porridge is too high, it will destroy the nutrients contained in the honey.

Millet and Yam Porridge

Main effects: Strengthen the spleen and stop diarrhea, digest food and relieve stagnation. It is also suitable for children with weak spleen and stomach and indigestion.

Method: The ingredients needed to make this porridge are sweet potatoes and yam. We need to cut them into pieces separately. When cutting yam, it is easy to get itchy hands. Here we can also review the tips we taught in the previous program. The first is to soak your hands in diluted vinegar before cutting. This way, your hands will not itch when cutting yam. Another way is to put your hands on the lit stove when you feel itchy after cutting yam and roast them with fire. Just be careful not to burn your hands.

After the millet is cooked, you can put the sweet potatoes and yam in. Sweet potatoes contain dietary fiber, carotene, vitamins A, B, C, E and more than 10 trace elements such as potassium, iron, copper, calcium, etc. Eating them regularly is very good for your health. However, I would like to warn you here that no matter how you cook sweet potatoes, you must cook them thoroughly before eating them, because the cell membrane of the starch in sweet potatoes is difficult to be digested by our stomach without being destroyed by high temperature.

Yam is even more nutritious. In addition to its rich nutrients, the most important thing is that it is a very good weight loss food. It provides the human body with a large amount of mucus protein, which is a mixture of polysaccharide proteins. It can maintain the elasticity of blood vessels, prevent the premature occurrence of atherosclerosis, and reduce subcutaneous fat deposition to avoid obesity.
