Eating glutinous rice can help ward off the cold.

More and more people feel cold in the winter. How can you effectively keep warm? The editor will introduce a food to everyone to make this winter no longer cold!

Golden Rice with Glutinous Rice

According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, the cold weather in winter most easily depletes the stomach's energy. As mentioned in the "Compendium of Materia Medica," glutinous rice is a grain that nourishes the spleen and stomach, and benefits the lung's energy. Glutinous rice is sweet in taste and warm in nature. After eating it, it can replenish the body's qi and blood, and nourish the spleen and stomach. When the spleen and stomach are warm, a person's breathing becomes very smooth, causing the whole body to generate heat, thus playing a role in keeping warm. It is especially suitable for people with a deficient and cold spleen and stomach. In addition, glutinous rice is also rich in nutrients such as protein, calcium, phosphorus, iron, and niacin, and can be called a nourishing and strengthening food.

However, it is worth reminding that although glutinous rice is good, you should not eat too much of it. A friendly reminder is that it is best to halve your portion when eating it. For example, if you can normally eat four liang of rice, two liang of glutinous rice is enough. Otherwise, due to glutinous rice's own sticky and hard-to-digest nature, it can cause chest and abdominal distension, which would be得不偿失 (more trouble than it's worth). This is especially important for people with inherently weak gastrointestinal function, such as the elderly and children.
