Hawthorn and Cinnamon Porridge

The effect of hawthorn cinnamon porridge

1. Cancer prevention and anti-cancer

Recent studies have found that hawthorn contains a compound called vitexin, which has anti-cancer effects.

Nitrosamines and aflatoxin can induce the occurrence or aggravation of digestive tract cancer, and experimental studies have shown that hawthorn extract can not only block the synthesis of nitrosamines, but also inhibit the carcinogenic effect of aflatoxin. Therefore, people at high risk of digestive tract cancer should eat hawthorn regularly. For patients who already have cancer, if they have indigestion, they can also cook porridge with hawthorn and rice, which can not only help digestion, but also play an auxiliary anti-cancer role.

2. Strengthen the heart, lower blood lipids and blood pressure

Clinical studies have confirmed that hawthorn can significantly reduce serum cholesterol and triglycerides, and effectively prevent and treat atherosclerosis; hawthorn can also strengthen the heart and prevent angina pectoris by enhancing myocardial contractility, increasing cardiac output, dilating coronary arteries, increasing coronary blood flow, and reducing myocardial oxygen consumption. In addition, the total flavonoids in hawthorn have the effects of dilating blood vessels and lasting blood pressure reduction. Therefore, patients with hyperlipidemia, hypertension and coronary heart disease can take 15 to 30 grams of raw hawthorn every day, decoct in water and drink instead of tea.

3. Treat dysmenorrhea and irregular menstruation

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that hawthorn has the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, and is a good food therapy for patients with blood stasis type dysmenorrhea. Patients with blood stasis type dysmenorrhea often experience lower abdominal pain on the 1st to 2nd day of menstruation or 1 to 2 days before menstruation. When the menstrual blood is discharged smoothly, the pain gradually decreases or disappears, and the menstrual blood is dark in color, accompanied by blood clots. Patients can take 1000 grams of fresh hawthorn with complete core, wash it, add appropriate amount of water, simmer until the hawthorn is cooked, add 250 grams of brown sugar, and simmer for 10 minutes until it becomes a thin paste. Start taking it 3 to 5 days before menstruation, eat 30 ml of hawthorn mud every morning and evening, and stop taking it 3 days after menstruation. This is one course of treatment, and it will be effective after taking 3 courses in a row. This method is also suitable for those with irregular menstruation and blood stasis in Chinese medicine.
