Nowadays, millet’s status is catching up with rice. It is said that millet has high nutritional value. Is this true? In terms of nutritional content, millet is higher in protein, vitamin B family (vitamin B1, vitamin B2), dietary fiber, calcium, iron, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium and other nutrients than rice.

Nowadays, many nutrients have been removed from rice that is too refined, leaving only more carbohydrates and fats. From another perspective, you may think that rice is easy to digest and absorb. In fact, millet is not bad in this regard and will not burden the gastrointestinal tract.

From this, it is said that millet nourishes people. After adding water to millet porridge, especially the porridge cooked with millet oil, the fragrance of millet can be heard from time to time, which is really lingering, but it does not make people forget to leave. Not everyone can eat millet porridge wantonly, such as the following types of people.

First of all, people with gastroesophageal reflux are not suitable to drink too much millet porridge. This type of patients is mainly due to insufficiency of the lower esophageal sphincter, and the food in the stomach refluxes into the esophagus, thereby causing the disease. .

In daily life, this condition is easy to recur, often causing acid reflux, heartburn, belching, coughing, and retrosternal discomfort... If you still have these symptoms, Drinking liquid food or drinks can easily increase intra-abdominal blood pressure, thereby aggravating the condition and leading to reflux and aspiration.

In terms of nutritional advice, people suffering from gastroesophageal reflux should avoid foods that can induce reflux, including spicy and sour foods, chocolate, coffee, and high-fat foods. Secondly, people with diabetes should emphasize that people with high blood sugar should not drink millet porridge excessively. One of the reasons is that it is easy to digest and absorb. The more such food is, the easier it is to increase postprandial blood sugar levels.

What's more, millet porridge is easier to digest and absorb than other porridges, except rice porridge, and requires more attention from diabetic patients. Including whole grain porridge, if it is cooked for too long, even if the porridge has high nutritional value, it will not be conducive to controlling post-meal blood sugar levels.

Therefore, it is recommended that diabetic patients should eat millet or whole grain rice, which is more beneficial to controlling blood sugar.

Finally, there are gastritis patients. For people who have already suffered from gastritis, it may be due to the influence of drugs, or there may be problems with their own immunity. The most common condition is caused by Helicobacter pylori.

This group of people should also pay attention to millet porridge. This kind of liquid food can easily increase gastric acid secretion. Once the stomach is stimulated more, it will make the inflammatory reaction more serious. Therefore, doctors will also recommend that gastritis patients should not drink porridge to recuperate, of course, including millet porridge.

It can be seen that not all foods are suitable for everyone, and they need to be determined according to their own circumstances.
