Explanation of the meaning of porridge: Sesame, also known as sesame and Jusheng, is the black and white seeds of the plant Sesame of the Sesame family, and is cultivated all over the country.

According to Chinese medicine, sesame is sweet and flat in nature, and enters the liver, kidney, and lung meridians. It can nourish the liver and kidney, moisten the five internal organs, benefit qi and blood, and moisten the intestines. It is suitable for liver and kidney deficiency, premature graying of hair, weakness after illness, dizziness due to wind deficiency, and dry intestines. "Compendium of Materia Medica" says that it "tonifies the five internal organs, strengthens qi and strength, grows muscles, and fills the marrow and brain." "Bencao Qiuzhen" says that "sesame is originally a moisturizing product, so it is recorded in books that it can replenish essence and marrow. It is also sweet, so it is recorded in books that it can replenish blood, warm the spleen, and resist hunger." Pharmacological studies have shown that sesame seeds contain up to 60% fatty oil, and the oil contains fatty acids, linoleic acid, palmitic acid, arachidic acid and other glycerides, as well as sterols, sesamin, vitamin E and folic acid, sucrose, protein, lecithin and a large amount of calcium. Its extract can lower blood sugar, increase the content of glycogen in the liver and muscles, and has a laxative effect. Japanese scientists have found that sesame seeds have a significant anti-cancer effect. They mixed sesame seeds, the effective ingredient of sesame seeds, into feed at a ratio of 0.01%-0.1% and fed mice for 17 weeks. In the first one or two weeks of the experiment, the mice were injected with carcinogenic nitrosamines twice. The experimental results show that the proportion of cancerous changes in mice that have eaten sesame seeds is less than half of that of ordinary mice that have not eaten sesame seeds. The experimental results also show that after sesame seeds are absorbed by the intestines, they play a role in eliminating harmful substances in the body. Today, when natural foods are favored, black sesame (black sesame), which is a black food, is becoming more and more popular. Cooking porridge and eating it can not only nourish the spleen and stomach, but also prevent and fight cancer.

Note:

1. Sesame is divided into black sesame and white sesame. White sesame is mostly used to extract oil for consumption, while black sesame is better for nourishing liver and kidney, especially for black beard and hair. It is commonly called sesame seed in Chinese medicine prescriptions. Li Shizhen said in Compendium of Materia Medica: "Black sesame is especially good for consumption, and black sesame is especially wonderful."

2. "Bencao Congxin" says "Eating sesame can make the intestines slippery, and it is not suitable for people with weak essence and energy", so people with spermatorrhea and premature ejaculation should use it with caution.

3. People with loose stools should not take this medicine.
