You can't always drink porridge for three meals. Many people often make this kind of mistake. Eating porridge properly is really good, but you can't drink it suddenly. Porridge is a liquid food, which is worse in nutrition than rice with the same volume. And porridge is "not full". I felt full when I ate, but I was hungry soon. In the long run, it will be malnourished due to insufficient energy and nutrition intake. Therefore, we should also pay attention to balanced nutrition when drinking porridge. Boil the porridge thicker, eat it with meat dishes, or eat snacks between meals. , can replenish energy.

Ice porridge is not advisable. Ice porridge is a hot food in summer, but it is not suitable for the elderly and children who have a cold and are weak. Drinking too much ice porridge will not only block the sweat pores of the human body, but also make it difficult for metabolic waste to be excreted, which may also affect the gastrointestinal function.

People with diabetes should drink porridge in moderation. Diabetic patients are generally more likely to be hungry, and porridge has the characteristics of fast digestion, so it is easy for people to eat quickly and want to eat; Porridge itself is easily absorbed by the body in a short time, leading to a rapid increase or excessive fluctuation of blood sugar. Diabetic patients should drink porridge in moderation, a small bowl at a time.

People with bad stomachs should drink less. Many people think porridge nourishes the stomach. But in fact, this view is not comprehensive. Because you don't have to chew porridge carefully, you can't promote the secretion of substances that can help digestion in the oral salivary glands; Moreover, porridge with high water content will dilute gastric acid after entering the stomach, accelerate the expansion of the stomach, and make the stomach move slowly, which is also not conducive to digestion.
