Cooking porridge with chestnut and japonica rice is not only beneficial to the early recovery of patients with chronic diarrhea caused by deficiency and cold of spleen and stomach, but also a dietotherapy remedy for indigestion and deficiency and fatigue of qi in the elderly. If you buy sugar-fried chestnuts, you can eat 7- 10 a day, preferably as a snack between meals. Otherwise, eating too much raw food is difficult to digest, and eating too much cooked food is easy to block the stomach. Don't exceed 10 every day. Chestnuts should have a complete shell and natural color, not particularly shiny. Don't eat moldy chestnuts, which may cause food poisoning. Because of the high sugar content, diabetics had better "stay away from chestnuts". People with severe internal heat, fever, food stagnation and abdominal distension should not eat more.
