Nutritional analysis of yam and pumpkin porridge

Pumpkin, also known as pumpkin, golden pumpkin, wheat melon and wax gourd, is the fruit of the Cucurbitaceae plant pumpkin and is cultivated all over the country.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that pumpkin is sweet and warm in nature, and belongs to the spleen and stomach meridians. It has the functions of tonifying the middle and replenishing qi, clearing away heat and detoxifying. It is suitable for spleen deficiency and weak qi, malnutrition, lung abscess, and burns from water or fire.

The Compendium of Materia Medica says that pumpkin can "tonify the middle and replenish qi". Pumpkin contains citrulline, arginine, ophiopogonin, vitamins A, B, C, pectin, cellulose, etc. The pectin in pumpkin can regulate the absorption rate of food in the stomach, slow down the absorption of sugar, and the soluble cellulose can delay the emptying of food in the stomach and control the rise of blood sugar after a meal. Pectin can also combine with excess cholesterol in the body to reduce cholesterol absorption and reduce blood cholesterol concentration. Therefore, pumpkin is known as a "good product for lowering blood sugar and lipids". People with diabetes often take this product as a side dish, which can not only fill their stomachs, but also lower blood sugar and lipids, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone. Many people deal with computers all day long, which inevitably causes visual fatigue.
