If you have no appetite in the summer, you might want to try some rice wine, as it has the effects of strengthening the spleen, benefiting the stomach, and promoting appetite.
Rice wine is a fermented beverage made from glutinous rice (or japonica rice, corn) as the main ingredient, using a natural microbial pure Rhizopus koji for saccharification and fermentation. It has excellent health benefits, and there is a common saying, "Rice wine is the essence of grain; the more you drink, the younger you become." During the fermentation process, rice wine produces nutrients such as glucose, dextrin, glycerin, acetic acid, and minerals, and these nutrients are easily digested and absorbed by the human body.
Rice wine contains more than ten kinds of amino acids, eight of which are essential and cannot be synthesized by the human body. The lysine content in one liter of rice wine is several times higher than that in wine and beer, which is rarely seen in other nutritional wines around the world. Therefore, it is called "liquid cake".
Rice wine has the functions of nourishing qi and blood, aiding digestion, strengthening the spleen, benefiting the stomach, relaxing muscles and activating blood circulation, and expelling wind and dampness. Regular consumption of rice wine can make the skin smooth and glossy. It is especially beneficial for postpartum women and women during their menstrual period. Japanese scientists have also discovered that a group of enzyme inhibitors in rice wine can enhance memory.
