Drink porridge to nourish your stomach in winter! Millet and sweet potatoes increase satiety without causing fat

Drinking porridge in winter not only nourishes the spleen and stomach, but is also a good tonic. Nutritionists point out that as the weather gets colder, many people want to take supplements, but are worried that over-supplementing will put a burden on the body. Therefore, they recommend using sweet potatoes and millet porridge to make a healthy "red sticky porridge" that soothes the stomach and replenishes the spleen, allowing everyone to spend a warm winter happily and healthily.

Nutritionist Lin Yunshan from Hualien Tzu Chi Hospital pointed out that Chinese people love to drink porridge. A bowl of steaming hot porridge can not only keep out the cold and warm the body, but also strengthen the spleen and replenish qi. Drinking porridge, in addition to filling the stomach and satisfying hunger, can also replenish the body with water and effectively prevent constipation. Therefore, for people who suffer from constipation for a long time, it is recommended to eat less dry rice and drink more porridge.

Red sticky porridge nourishes the stomach and spleen and does not prevent obesity

In particular, many people are particularly afraid of cold in winter, mostly women. Therefore, it is recommended that people drink porridge mainly with red ingredients. This healthy red sticky porridge can "harmony the stomach and spleen, nourish the lungs", help regulate the stomach and intestines, and is a good choice for winter health care.

In addition, porridge makes you feel fuller than rice and has the effect of inhibiting obesity. Generally speaking, a 150-gram bowl of white rice contains 252 calories. With the addition of water, a 150-gram bowl of porridge (rice: water = 1:10) contains only 54 calories, which is 1/5 of the calories in a bowl of white rice.

Millet + sweet potato are high in nutrients

Nutritionist Lin Yunshan pointed out that the main ingredients of red sticky porridge are millet and sweet potato. From the nutritional point of view, millet contains carbohydrates, B vitamins, vitamin E, calcium, phosphorus, iron, potassium and other nutrients. The same weight of millet contains 1 times more iron than white rice, and 2 to 7 times more vitamins than white rice. And every 100 grams contains 0.19 mg of carotene.

Sweet potatoes, which are rich in dietary fiber, not only increase the feeling of fullness, but are also rich in nutrients such as protein, carbohydrates, dietary fiber, carotenoids, vitamin A, B vitamins, vitamin C, calcium, phosphorus, copper, and potassium.

In terms of preparation, soak the millet in water for half an hour, then add the chopped sweet potatoes, dried longan and water, and then put it into the rice cooker to cook. After the switch of the rice cooker pops up, simmer it for another 5 minutes and it's done. Not only are the ingredients natural, the method is also very simple, which is very suitable for the busy life of modern people. When making it at home, you can also add appropriate amount of sugar for seasoning according to personal taste.

【Intimate Reminder】：

Because the taste of millet itself is not obvious, but if only millet is used, it may taste a bit bitter when cooked. Therefore, in addition to sweet potatoes, it is recommended to add longan to cook together. The aroma and slightly sweet taste of longan will make the porridge taste very refreshing. If you want a richer taste, you can add unseasoned cashews and glutinous rice.
