In the golden autumn of October, the atmosphere at Aunt Zhao's house became more tense than usual. Why? The strange thing is not that Aunt Zhao's stomach problem has committed again, but that her wife Uncle Sun has also been crumbling recently. Uncle Sun is 62 years old this year, retired at home, and was originally in good health, but just recently, he inexplicably had an upset stomach, and then the whole person also became haggard.
What's the problem? Aunt Zhao wondered if her wife was overworking at this time when she began to think about her life after retirement. Uncle Sun was a workshop director of a factory before he retired, and he held the power of life and death of hundreds of people in his hands. After thinking about it, the old couple still felt that it was important to serve a good stomach first, so they decided to try a lighter food - porridge.
However, what I didn't expect was that Aunt Zhao saw that her wife Uncle Sun drank porridge every day, but her stomach problems were getting worse and worse. This big thing made Aunt Zhao wonder more and more, shouldn't you drink porridge to nourish your stomach if you have stomach problems? Why is it getting worse and worse? Actually, the problem of porridge is the real problem. Let's talk about white porridge - don't underestimate this seemingly mild bowl of food, there are many mysteries in it. People usually say that "illness comes from the mouth", eating is not right, and carefully develop a good stomach into an old sick stomach.
First of all, let's talk about this white porridge, which is often praised as a "health holy product".In fact, its connotation is not as rich as you think. You think, the water in the porridge accounts for about ninety percent, and most of the rest is the starch that has been boiled and turned into a paste. This means that while porridge is delicious, in terms of nutrition, it gives you just a little bit – mostly a little carbohydrate. This is enough for children who need a variety of nutrients to support their healthy growth, and they are prone to nutritional imbalance if they eat such a single staple food for a long time. In addition, the digestive system of the elderly will also be affected, which can easily cause the gastrointestinal tract to weaken.
In addition, we continue to go deeper**, the nutrients in the porridge are single, drink it for a long time, and the absorption of other nutrients is pitiful. This is not only not conducive to daily health recovery, but also makes the process of disease like a turtle crawling - so slow that you are anxious!
To put it bluntly, should you drink porridge when you are sick? A lot of people think soBut this is a very wrong notion. No matter what kind of disease, when the body is struggling and needs to be repaired, it needs sufficient protein, vitamins and minerals. However, if you drink medicine and drink happily in such a porridge, these nutrients in the body will be sharply deficient, and the natural body will recover slowly, affecting the speed of recovery. Also, what about the saying that porridge nourishes the stomach? This can be said in terms of scores. For example, for the elderly with poor stomach function and weak body, or patients in the recovery of the gastrointestinal tract, drinking porridge can reduce the burden on the gastrointestinal tract, relatively speaking, there are some benefits. But if you are determined to drink porridge every meal, your stomach will become more and more unlucky.
This is not enough, let's go on to talk about it, that porridge is not a long-term solution. First, because of the daily dependence on porridge as a staple food, the digestion ability of the stomach will gradually decline; Second, the porridge is quickly empty in the stomach as soon as it arrives, and there is nothing to neutralize the stomach acid, and drinking it like this for a long time is easy to damage the gastric mucosa. For diabetics, you have to be even more careful when drinking porridge - porridge is high in sugarIt is easy to digest as soon as it enters the stomach, causing blood sugar to spike rapidly, which is contrary to the original intention of sugar control.
Let's talk about the taboo of drinking porridge. Some porridges may seem harmless, but they are actually poisonous. For example, white porridge with pickles, always eaten not only stimulates the stomach lining, but also may cause stomach problems; There is also the hot porridge that is too hot, and drinking such hot porridge for a long time really has a risk of causing cancer. Tell these points, and you can drink porridge with confidence and boldness. First of all, try to put as many ingredients as possible when cooking porridge, so that it can be rich in nutrients. For example, the well-known eight-treasure porridge should be readily available in it to ensure nutrition and taste.
Also, don't cook porridge for too long, porridge with too severe gelatinization is not only easy to cause blood sugar to rise, but also bad for the stomach. It is also important to remember that if the staple food is porridge, you can pair it with some vegetables and meat to ensure a balanced nutrition.
Finally, it is okay to change the order of meals, first have some vegetables, meat and eggs, and then eat porridge, which can make blood sugar control more stable. Don't just drink porridge at noon, ensure a balanced meal, so that your appetite and body are good. The above are some ** and suggestions for the legendary "health holy product" of porridge! Hope it helps,I also hope to bring hope to Uncle Sun and Aunt Zhao's family.
