Millet porridge, pumpkin porridge, sweet potato porridge, etc. It has always been considered as a good product for nourishing the stomach, especially porridge cooked with rice oil. But experts point out that porridge and rice oil can nourish the stomach, but they are not suitable for everyone. People who burp, vomit, have acid reflux and burp may have stomach problems instead of nourishing their stomachs.

Myth 2: whole grains are ground into powder, which is easier to digest.

Whole grains are rich in dietary fiber that is difficult for human body to digest, and patients with stomach diseases are not so easy to digest. Moreover, after grinding into powder or paste, it is equivalent to skipping the digestion process of oral chewing and salivary amylase, which increases the burden on the stomach.

Myth 3: Long-term vegetarian diet can clear the intestines and nourish the stomach.

Although vegetables are easier to digest than meat, long-term vegetarianism may lead to atrophy of gastric mucosa. When eating normally, nutrients in meat can help repair gastric mucosa.

Myth 4: Eating less and eating more meals is the best way to nourish the stomach.

Under normal circumstances, autonomic nerves regulate human diet and secrete gastric acid and bile to digest food according to the law of three meals a day. However, if you eat more meals a day, food will stimulate the digestive tract to secrete gastric acid frequently, causing gastric acid secretion dysfunction.

Therefore, when nourishing the stomach, don't blindly think about "what to eat more", because everyone has different reasons for gastrointestinal discomfort, and the legendary coup of nourishing the stomach may not really suit you. Therefore, we must have this idea: don't worry about "eating more" before nourishing the stomach, but feel your body more and learn to do "subtraction".

The so-called "subtraction" of nourishing the stomach is to avoid food or factors that cause stomach discomfort, such as cold drinks, spicy food, overeating and eating too fast. If there is no obvious inducement, there will often be symptoms such as acid reflux, flatulence, heartburn or stomach pain. It is suggested that the examination related to Helicobacter pylori in the stomach or gastroscopy should be done through physical examination or outpatient service in time.

It is recorded in Compendium of Materia Medica that millet does have the functions of "treating nausea and diarrhea, cooking porridge to benefit the abdomen, tonifying deficiency and appetizing", which shows that millet porridge has the effects of invigorating stomach, promoting digestion and nourishing stomach. Sometimes when eating, people often say: I have no appetite today, I have no appetite at all. At this time, you must not eat. You have to eat something. What should you eat?

Millet gruel

I recommend that you can choose millet porridge. In fact, many people should know that millet porridge is a healthy food. When you have no appetite, eating a bowl of millet porridge is no less than an appetizer. You can cook porridge separately. Millet is rich in amino acids. After millet porridge is cooked, there will be a thick layer of oil, commonly known as "rice oil", and its nutritional value is often called "Daishen soup". However, due to the incomplete protein amino acid composition of millet porridge, its lysine is low and leucine is high. Whether pregnant women or the elderly, when choosing to make millet porridge, you can put some staple foods such as mung beans or sweet potatoes or red beans or lilies to match and combine to ensure comprehensive nutrition, which is also one of the methods of healthy eating.

I also like to drink millet gruel, especially when I have a bad appetite. Cooking a bowl of millet porridge with some sweet potatoes is not only sweet and delicious, but also delicious in my taste buds.

Millet porridge is suitable for people.

The content of tryptophan in millet porridge is high, which is the highest in cereals, and it is helpful for a deep sleep. Millet is sweet and cool, clearing away heat and quenching thirst, invigorating spleen and regulating stomach. People who are more suitable for stomach heat often have a burning sensation in their stomachs and are prone to stomach fire. Symptoms are mostly dry mouth, drinking water and dry stool.

In short, millet porridge has a powerful effect under the simple appearance, strengthening the spleen and nourishing the stomach, harmonizing the middle energizer and benefiting the kidney, clearing away heat and toxic materials, and promoting diuresis and excretion. Especially for people with bad stomach, they often drink millet porridge, which has the effect of nourishing and stomach. Because the crude fiber content of millet is less, it will not hurt and stimulate the stomach wall and is easy to digest. So the general conclusion is that millet porridge can nourish the stomach.

Millet is indeed a nutritious staple food. The content of sweat, protein, fat and carbohydrate in millet is very high, and because millet is small, it doesn't need fine processing. Therefore, compared with other staple foods, such as rice and wheat flour, it preserves more nutrients and minerals. For example, the content of vitamin B 1 is several times that of rice, and the content of minerals is also higher than that of rice.

Generally, cereals do not contain carotene, while millet contains 0.100 mg carotene per 100 g; The iron content of millet is also very prominent, which has a good blood tonic effect, and the phosphorus content is also very high, which is 2~3 times that of rice. Millet also contains a lot of vitamin E, which is 4.8 times that of rice.

Xiaomigao is low in potassium and sodium, and the content ratio is 66: 1. Dietary fiber is four times that of rice, but its protein content is low, so it should be eaten with foods with high amino acid content such as soybean and meat. Many people use millet to nourish their stomachs, because millet is a very suitable food for people with indigestion. It can not only accelerate human metabolism, but also promote intestinal peristalsis, thus helping us digest. Secondly, millet is also a very nourishing food. It can not only relieve stomach pain and stomach acid, but also treat and prevent some chronic stomach diseases, thus reducing the chance of intestinal diseases. So it makes sense to say that Xiaomi nourishes the stomach.

Xiaomi is also suitable for women who have just given birth to children. It can promote postpartum recovery, adjust postpartum wet and cold constitution, and of course restore physical strength as soon as possible. Usually, drinking more millet soup and eating more millet-related foods can also lower blood sugar, decompose body fat and balance body fat, thus lowering blood sugar, so millet is more suitable for patients with hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia, and of course it is also a good diet to lose weight.

Millet porridge is very nourishing to the stomach. My husband has suffered from stomachache for many years. He often has stomachache, acid reflux and stomach trouble. I cooked millet gruel and steamed soda pasta for him. Instead of going out to buy spaghetti soaked in flour, he hardened his hair and neutralized it with alkali. Although the appearance is not so good, it does nourish the stomach and cure the disease.

The more the same seeds, the greater the energy and the stronger the nourishing power. Everything is born, only the grain is coarse, and millet is the best in the grain. Millet is also called chestnut rice, millet and millet.

Millet is planted in spring and harvested in autumn, so it has the strongest rustic flavor and the most complete qi of heaven and earth, so it is the most salty flavor that nourishes the spleen and stomach and enters the kidney meridian. Millet is the first of the five grains, which can nourish both our innate spleen and stomach and our acquired kidneys.

Millet is rich in protein, which is higher than rice. Fat 1.7 g, carbohydrate 76. 1 g, all higher than rice and wheat. Generally, there is no carotene in the grain, but there is 0. 12 mg per 100 g of millet. At the same time, the content of vitamin B 1 in millet ranks first among all food crops, so the nutritional value of millet is extremely rich.

In the north, many women like to cook porridge with millet and brown sugar to recuperate their postpartum bodies. Xiaomi porridge is rich in nutritional value, and some people call it "Daishen soup".

People often mix millet with meat and beans, because millet lacks lysine in amino acids, while soybean and meat are rich in lysine in amino acids. Eating both at the same time can make up for the shortage of millet.

Xiaomi porridge, known as "golden porridge", is not only delicious, but also nutritious, and has the effect of tonifying kidney, strengthening spleen and regulating stomach. It is really a first-class nutritious food.

In particular, the rice oil in millet porridge is a delicate sticky substance floating on the top when cooking porridge. It is porridge oil, which can protect gastric mucosa, strengthen spleen and stomach, and is especially suitable for patients with gastritis and gastric ulcer. Strong nourishing power, comparable to the efficacy of precious medicinal materials such as ginseng and radix rehmanniae preparata.

Three kinds of millet porridge are millet pumpkin porridge, millet jujube porridge and millet yam porridge.

Soak the millet porridge for a while before cooking, preferably after cleaning. Boil with high fire first, then slowly cook with low fire, stirring while cooking to prevent sticking to the bottom of the pot. Cook until the millet is thick and porridge.

If you like sweets, you can add brown sugar or rock sugar when eating.

My aunt's cousin is from Xiangyang, Hubei. She likes eating beef noodles in the morning. The noodles are very spicy, and there is a layer of red oil in the bowl. He still puts a lot of peppers when he eats. When I was seven, my aunt's stomach was perforated. She has been cooking millet porridge for two years, and her stomach is full. Now, the big man of 1.87 meters is clean in vain.

I'm glad to have the opportunity to answer your question.

Chinese medicine believes that millet is "warm in the stomach", which is sweet and salty, and has the effects of clearing away heat and quenching thirst, invigorating stomach and removing dampness, calming the heart and calming the nerves. It is more suitable for people with internal heat and weak spleen and stomach. Some people have a bad appetite. After eating millet, it can stimulate appetite, nourish stomach, strengthen stomach, promote digestion and prevent nausea and vomiting.

For many friends who have an uncontrolled diet or are prone to overeating, millet is a milder choice among miscellaneous grains. Unlike miscellaneous beans, which have a layer of bean skin to cook, the burden on the stomach is relatively small.

Compared with ordinary rice, millet has less starch content and higher water-soluble polysaccharide content, which is relatively easier to digest.

Edible suggestion: add some miscellaneous grains.

The daily staple food is preferably 1/3 coarse grains, which is suitable for most healthy people. Millet, brown rice and oat have high fiber content and slow digestion. When there is no stomach upset, it is a good choice to often eat miscellaneous grains rice or mixed staple food made of miscellaneous grains to promote gastrointestinal function. (23)

First of all, there is no standard definition of the concept of nourishing the stomach.

The stomach is different. What should I do to "nourish" my stomach? So there is no stomach food suitable for everyone.

I can share some personal experiences about whether drinking millet gruel can make my stomach feel better.

Millet variety difference

Just like rice has glutinous and non-glutinous, millet also has some sticky varieties.

Difference of milling state of millet

-Millet with low degree of processing.

However, it should be noted that this kind of millet is usually thick and hard, and it takes a long cooking time to avoid irritating the stomach.

-Millet with high processing precision

It tends to absorb water quickly and is easy to cook, sticky and soft. More suitable for people with insufficient gastric acid secretion.

Differences in cooking methods of millet porridge

Cooking porridge is inseparable from the influence of water quality.

What food is Xiaomi porridge suitable for drinking?

Compared with rice, millet has the advantage that the content of vitamins and minerals is several times higher than that of polished rice! But its disadvantage is equally obvious-the restrictive essential amino acid lysine is seriously insufficient.

Therefore, it is recommended to drink high-quality millet gruel from protein, such as fish, meat, eggs, milk and bean products. If you eat millet porridge with pickles, don't expect to make any contribution to stomach repair.

Nourish the stomach

First of all, millet porridge is rich in nutritional value.

It is rich in unsaturated fatty acids, protein, vitamins and trace elements. The content of vitamin B 1 in millet is the highest among all grains and several times that of rice. Therefore, millet porridge has the reputation of "substitute soup".

Secondly, Chinese medicine believes that millet porridge is sweet and salty, and enters the spleen, stomach and kidney meridians. Millet porridge is especially suitable for the elderly with weak stomach and intestines, because it is easy to digest and has high nutritional value. Because millet porridge is warm, it is suitable for the elderly with spleen and stomach deficiency. At the same time, it can relieve stomach pain and stomach acid, and also prevent some chronic stomach diseases. Millet porridge has the effects of clearing away heat and quenching thirst, invigorating stomach and removing dampness, harmonizing stomach and calming nerves. Some people have a bad appetite. After eating millet, it can stimulate appetite, nourish stomach, strengthen stomach and promote digestion, and prevent nausea and vomiting.

I was deficient in spleen and stomach, and I often felt sick for a while. Later, I had no choice but to drink porridge every day. I bought a cup of pumpkin millet porridge in the morning and drank all kinds of porridge in the evening. Later, the digestion was much better and the old constipation was cured.
