These components have a comprehensive effect on the human body, not only providing good nourishment, but also having certain preventive and therapeutic effects on various seasonal diseases caused by dry autumn weather.
In traditional Chinese medicine, fresh lilies have the effects of nourishing the heart, calming the mind, moistening the lungs, and stopping coughs, which are very beneficial for people who are weak after illness.
Pumpkins contain beneficial substances for the human body, such as polysaccharides, amino acids, active proteins, carotenes, and various trace elements. Therefore, this porridge can be used as a dietary therapy for obesity and neurosis, as well as a daily health and beauty product.
[Taboos for Pumpkin Consumption]
Pumpkins should be properly stored and not stored for too long. Otherwise, the pulp will undergo anaerobic fermentation to produce alcohol, which can cause poisoning after consumption. Before eating pumpkin, you must carefully check for any rotten skin or the smell of alcohol after cutting it open. If there are any, it should not be eaten.
