Although you can't have enough rice and porridge, it is a constant saying that "you can eat three bowls, but only two bowls". -"Introduction to Medicine"

With the increasingly fierce competition in modern society, people's work pressure is constantly increasing, and they are busy every day. At this time, people will ignore their healthy diet. Most people often choose porridge as their staple food when they have breakfast and supper. They think it is fast and easy to digest. Nutrition, however, points out that drinking porridge alone is not conducive to digestion, and some rice should be added appropriately to eat.

We know that when people are eating, full chewing can promote saliva secretion in their mouths. Enzymes contained in saliva are one of the main ingredients for digesting food, but most people who like porridge don't chew with heart, so there will not be enough enzymes. If you eat too much porridge, your stomach will swell and your peristalsis will slow down quickly, which will easily lead to gastroptosis. Therefore, eating porridge is extremely unfavorable to working people who have stomach diseases and are prone to stomach diseases. Also, compared with dry rice, porridge with the same volume obviously provides much lower calories than dry rice, so eating porridge is not only difficult to relieve hunger, but also causes malnutrition if it is eaten for a long time.

therefore, we'd better eat some rice before drinking some porridge when we enter the staple food. Dry rice should be constantly stirred and mixed when it enters the stomach. At this time, drinking some porridge can lubricate the tension of the stomach wall, promote the uniform mixing of food, and protect the gastric mucosa. If you drink some porridge after meals, you can also wash the esophagus. It should be noted that everyone must chew slowly when eating, and don't eat too much in each bite when eating. If you eat too much, it will be difficult to fully mix saliva and food. This will bring great damage to our stomach. Tips:

It is believed that there are dozens of digestive enzymes in human intestine, and different patients with gastrointestinal diseases may lack different enzymes. Therefore, some people are suitable to drink porridge, while others may not be able to drink it. The types of porridge also vary from person to person.

It is best to drink "white" porridge and drink less "flavored" porridge, especially less sweet porridge that is easy to cause stomach acid. I'll teach you a trick:
