Tanida Meng (advocate of natural cereal food) answers:

Both rice and millet are indispensable grains in China's traditional diet. When they are mixed and cooked into porridge, they can be matched with rich taste and nutrients. The following are the functions of mixed porridge of rice and millet:

Promoting body digestion: The combination of rice and millet can balance their characteristics. Rice contains a high starch content, while millet contains more cellulose, so the mixed porridge can not only provide enough satiety, but also reduce the burden on the stomach and promote body digestion.

lowering blood sugar: the dietary fiber contained in millet can not only increase satiety, but also help to regulate blood sugar level. At the same time, some substances containing delayed absorption can also reduce blood sugar by adhering to the surface of starch particles in rice.

rich nutrition: the combination of two kinds of cereals can provide more comprehensive nutrients, such as carbohydrates, protein, minerals and vitamins. In addition, millet also contains a high amount of trace elements such as phosphorus, potassium, iron and zinc, which plays an important role in health care and regulation.

promoting sleep: the specific protein contained in millet contains a component that can promote the body to produce melatonin, which is an important hormone that can regulate the body's biological clock and promote sleep. Therefore, eating rice and millet mixed porridge is helpful to improve sleep quality.

soothe nerves: millet also contains a special chemical component-oxalic acid, which can not only prevent people from overeating salt and reduce the feeling of thirst, but also has a certain calming effect, which is beneficial to soothe nerves and alleviate stress response problems such as mood swings.

In a word, rice and millet mixed porridge is a nourishing food with rich nutrition, easy digestion and absorption, and soothing nerves, which is a good choice for breakfast or bedtime snacks. Of course, for those who need to control calorie or carbohydrate intake, they also need to drink moderately.
