Japonica rice: Tang Dynasty Meng Shen said: "Japonica rice cannot be eaten with horse meat, as it will cause tumors. It cannot be eaten with Xanthium sibiricum, as it will cause sudden heart pain."

Wang Yuying of the Qing Dynasty said: "Although fried rice is fragrant, it is dry and helps fire. It is not suitable for people with diarrhea caused by cold." Chinese medicine believes that amaranth is sweet and cool in nature, enters the spleen, stomach, and large intestine meridians, and has the functions of clearing heat and detoxifying, removing dampness and relieving stranguria, and promoting bowel movements. This product can not only clear heat and detoxify, treat damp-heat diarrhea, and red and white dysentery, but also promote bowel movements and treat constipation. "Compendium of Materia Medica" says that it "treats constipation, eliminates parasites and removes cold and heat, can dredge blood vessels, and remove blood stasis." "Compendium of Materia Medica" says that "purple amaranth: treats qi dysentery; red amaranth: treats blood dysentery." It can be seen that amaranth is very effective in treating red and white dysentery, damp-heat diarrhea, etc. Summer is the season when many intestinal infectious diseases are prone to occur. Eating amaranth regularly or cooking porridge with it can effectively prevent the occurrence of intestinal infectious diseases.
