Gastrointestinal ulcers, also known as gastric and duodenal ulcers, refer to the phenomenon of mucosal damage caused by the corrosion of gastric fluid in the digestive tract. Patients often experience pain in the upper abdomen, along with symptoms such as acid reflux, belching, nausea, vomiting, and indigestion. Below, I would like to recommend a stomach-nourishing diet - lotus root powder and millet porridge.
【Ingredients】
Take 300 grams of fresh lotus root and 60 grams of millet.
【Method】
Peel and wash the lotus root, chop it into small pieces. Wash the millet. Put both ingredients into a soymilk machine. Add water between the upper and lower water level lines. Turn on the power and press the "Nutritious Porridge" button. After about 20 minutes, the delicious and nutritious porridge is ready.
【Analysis of Efficacy】
Lotus root has a sweet and neutral taste and can be eaten raw or cooked. It is mainly used to treat heat and thirst, promote blood circulation, and nourish the skin. Consuming cooked lotus root is beneficial for promoting stomach and spleen health, nourishing blood, replenishing energy, and stopping diarrhea. Lotus root emits a unique fragrance and contains tannic acid, which has a certain effect on invigorating the spleen and stopping diarrhea. It can improve appetite, promote digestion, and stimulate the appetite and digestion for those with poor appetite and indigestion, helping them regain their health.
In addition, lotus root has high nutritional value. It is rich in iron, calcium, and other trace elements, as well as plant proteins, vitamins, and starch. It has a significant effect in nourishing Qi and blood and enhancing the body's immune system. It also contains a large amount of tannic acid, which has a vasoconstrictive effect and can be used to cool blood, stop bleeding, and disperse stasis, shrinking the ulcer surface in the stomach and intestines.
Millet has a sweet and salty taste and has the effects of clearing heat, relieving thirst, promoting digestion, and inducing sleep. Consuming millet porridge before going to bed can help induce sleep. Millet enters the spleen, stomach, and kidney meridians, and has the functions of invigorating the spleen and stomach. It is particularly suitable for people with weak spleen and stomach.
When cooking millet porridge, after the porridge is cooked and slightly cooled, you may notice a layer of fine and sticky substance floating on the top. This is the porridge oil, which has the effect of protecting the gastric mucosa, nourishing the spleen and stomach. It is most suitable for patients with chronic gastritis and gastric ulcers. It is worth noting that the nourishing effect of fresh millet is better than that of aged millet.
Millet porridge is a healthy food that can be cooked alone or with the addition of jujube, red beans, sweet potatoes, lotus seeds, lilies, etc., creating a variety of nutritious porridge with different flavors.
Grinding millet into flour can be used to make delicious pastries. Cooking millet, purple rice, corn bits, red beans, mung beans, peanuts, and red dates together until thick and sticky creates a more comprehensive porridge that is rich in carbohydrates, proteins, fats, trace elements, and vitamins. It is particularly suitable for those with poor appetite, poor digestion, and anemia.
Here, I would like to remind middle-aged and elderly friends who often experience stomach pain, acid reflux, vomiting, and belching that although you may have developed stomach problems due to your past hard work, as long as you start paying attention to nourishing your stomach now, your physical discomfort will gradually decrease.
