Red Rice and Coix Seed Porridge
1. Red Rice.
Red rice is rich in starch and plant protein, which can replenish consumed energy and maintain normal body temperature. It is rich in many nutrients, with iron being the most abundant, so it has the effect of nourishing the blood and preventing anemia. Its rich content of phosphorus, vitamins A and B group can improve malnutrition, night blindness, and beriberi; it can also effectively relieve fatigue, listlessness, and insomnia. The substances it contains, such as pantothenic acid, vitamin E, and glutathione, have the effect of inhibiting carcinogens, especially in preventing colon cancer.
2. Oranges.
Among the many categories of fruits, acidic fruits contain more vitamin C. Modern nutrition unanimously recommends vitamin C as one of the antioxidants. Its three major functions: hinder free radicals from damaging cells, reduce aging phenomena; prevent the preservative sodium nitrate and sodium nitrite from converting into carcinogenic nitrosamines. It has a great protective effect on cancer patients, especially stomach and esophageal cancer; inhibit the oxidation of bad cholesterol and protect good cholesterol, maintaining blood vessel and heart health. Can be eaten directly or as fresh orange juice.
3. Carrots.
Carrots contain a large amount of cellulose, B vitamins, potassium, magnesium and other substances that can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, which helps to expel waste from the body and has a good therapeutic effect on constipation and acne. The saccharifying enzymes contained in carrots can decompose starch, fat and other components in food, making them fully absorbed and utilized by the human body after decomposition, so carrots are a quite good weight-loss food. The carotene contained in the skin of carrots can promote the increase of hemoglobin, improve blood concentration and quality, and has a great effect on treating anemia. Carrots also contain a lot of iron, which helps to replenish blood.
4. Mushrooms.
Nutritional value of edible fungi: high protein, no cholesterol, no starch, low fat, low sugar, high dietary fiber, rich in amino acids, vitamins, and minerals. Edible fungi concentrate all the good characteristics of food, and their nutritional value reaches the peak of plant-based foods, known as "meatless" food, called "God's food" and "longevity food".
5. Salmon.
A survey published by the World Health Organization last year pointed out that Japanese people are the longest-lived group in Asia. This honor is of course due to the Japanese custom of advocating a low-fat diet, eating more salmon, and drinking more green tea. The fat in salmon is omega-3 fatty acid, which belongs to the beneficial category.
6. Garlic.
The sulfur-containing compounds in garlic have strong antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects. They have inhibitory and killing effects on many cocci, bacilli, fungi, and viruses, and are currently the strongest natural antibacterial plant found. Garlic can effectively inhibit and kill bacteria and viruses such as Helicobacter pylori that cause gastrointestinal diseases, remove toxic substances from the gastrointestinal tract, stimulate the gastrointestinal mucosa, increase appetite, and accelerate digestion. Garlic can promote the secretion of insulin, lower blood sugar levels in the body, and kill various bacteria that cause diabetes due to infection, thereby effectively preventing and treating diabetes. Garlic contains a spicy substance called "allicin", which has a good killing effect on pathogens and parasites, and can prevent colds, reduce symptoms such as fever, cough, sore throat, and nasal congestion.
7. Red Wine.
The reason why drinking red wine is good for the skin is: the extract in red wine can control skin aging—powerful anti-damage substances often found in the plant world are contained in red wine. And there are more than 10 ingredients, especially the ingredients that generate red pigment, which can prevent damage from active oxygen, and the effect is very significant. When a woman is pregnant, her body fat content will increase a lot. After giving birth, drinking some wine, the antioxidants in it can prevent the oxidation and accumulation of fat, which is very helpful to restore her figure.
8. Tomatoes.
According to research and measurement by nutritionists: eating 50-100 grams of fresh tomatoes per person per day can meet the human body's needs for several vitamins and minerals. The "lycopene" contained in tomatoes has the effect of inhibiting bacteria; the malic acid, citric acid and sugars it contains help digestion. Tomatoes are rich in nutrition and have various functions, known as the magical "fruit among vegetables". The rich vitamin A precursor in it is converted into vitamin A in the human body, which can promote bone growth, and has a good effect on preventing and treating rickets, xerophthalmia, night blindness, and some skin diseases.
