White lentil rice porridge

White Bean Rice Porridge

Yesterday the weather forecast said that it would rain heavily today. I got up in the morning and ran to the field to transplant the corn as planned. My husband was determined not to let him go, saying that it was too dangerous to stay in an open place during a thunderstorm. I thought that the survival rate of the transplanted corn would be higher if it was bathed in rainwater. So, I sneaked out as soon as my husband went to work. Haha~ I originally wanted to go home quickly after transplanting, but I found that the corn field had been trampled down by me, so I had to turn the field over again. Since I started farming, I have always felt that turning the field is the most difficult thing. Today I found that turning the field on wet ground is the most tiring. After turning over the 20-square-meter corn field, I was soaked all over, as if I had just been fished out of a water tank. My arms were so sore that I could hardly hold the shovel. Being a farmer's wife is very fitness. I quickly changed my wet clothes when I got home and drank a big bowl of white lentil and rice porridge before I recovered a little.

Since the beginning of summer, there has been a lot of rain all over the country except the northwest. The humidity has also increased with the summer heat. The stagnation of humidity in the body will cause symptoms such as poor appetite, lack of energy, heavy limbs, dizziness, chest tightness, yellow urine and loose stools, skin rashes, and aggravation of freckles. Therefore, removing summer heat and dampness is the key to health care in the summer rainy season.

Rice is specially used to nourish the spleen and stomach, and also benefits the five internal organs. Cooking it with white lentils into porridge strengthens the effect of strengthening the spleen and removing dampness. It is a health-care medicated porridge suitable for all ages.
