pumpkin porridge

Pumpkin porridge, traditional Chinese medicine believes that pumpkin is sweet and warm in nature. It returns to the spleen and stomach meridians. It has the functions of replenishing the middle and replenishing qi, clearing heat and detoxifying. It is suitable for spleen deficiency, weak qi, malnutrition, lung carbuncle, and fire and fire burns. The Compendium of Materia Medica states that it "supplements the middle and strengthens the qi." Pumpkin contains citrulline, arginine, opyrine, vitamins A, B, C, pectin, cellulose, etc. Pectin in pumpkin can regulate the absorption rate of food in the stomach and slow down the absorption of sugar. Soluble cellulose can delay the emptying of food in the stomach and control the rise of blood sugar after a meal. Pectin can also combine with excess cholesterol in the body, reducing cholesterol absorption and lowering blood cholesterol concentration. Therefore, pumpkin is known as a "best product in reducing blood sugar and lowering blood lipids". People with diabetes often take this product as a supplement to meals. It not only can satisfy their stomachs, but also can reduce blood sugar and lipids. It can be said to be achieved with one fell swoop.
