Six kinds of porridge for relieving summer heat and keeping fit

In summer, hot weather always makes people lose their appetite. Because of this, porridge, which can fill the stomach and is easy to digest, has become the choice of many people in summer. Yang Li, a professor at the Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Chen Dou, a nutritionist at Beijing Chaoyang Hospital and chief nutritionist at Shanghai Huadong Hospital, pointed out that besides the above benefits, porridge has many health-preserving functions. To this end, they recommended several summer health porridge for everyone.

Drinking porridge in summer is more effective for relieving summer heat.

As soon as the weather is hot, many people are used to sitting in air-conditioned rooms and eating cold food to cool off the heat. However, Professor Yang Li believes that eating food that is too cold in summer will only play a temporary role in relieving summer heat, but it can't really play a role in relieving summer heat. "In the most sunny summer, the human body's metabolism is strong, and there is more water loss in body fluids, which is the most likely to hurt Tianjin and consume gas. Summer diet should be light and easy to digest, and don't eat too much cold and greasy food. If you can drink some porridge at this time, you can supplement the water needed by your body, and with rich ingredients, you can also achieve the effect of nourishing your body and preventing diseases. "

Porridge is warm, soft, light, fragrant and sticky, which is convenient for digestion and absorption, protects gastric mucosa and increases body fluid. Especially the sticky substance floating on the porridge surface after cooking, which is called "rice oil" by Chinese medicine, has a strong nourishing effect and can even be comparable to ginseng chicken soup. For the elderly, drinking porridge often can also play a role in prolonging life.
