When someone is troubled by diarrhea, running to the toilet countless times a day, they must be thinking about what bad food they ate.
Unhealthy eating habits and consuming raw or spoiled food are the main causes of diarrhea, which is true. However, exposing the abdomen to cold can also be an important factor. Therefore, in order to avoid the embarrassment of running to the toilet dozens of times a day, it is important to keep the abdomen warm by adding layers according to the changes in temperature. In addition, developing healthy eating habits and avoiding consuming raw or spoiled food is also essential.
What other ways are there to solve the problem of diarrhea? Here are a few recommended dietary therapies that are not only simple and delicious, but also help to strengthen the spleen and stomach, and greatly stabilize gastrointestinal function.
Lotus Seed Congee
The soft and nutritious lotus seed congee has a smooth texture and is easy to digest. It also has the effect of strengthening the spleen and stomach, making it an excellent dietary remedy for preventing diarrhea.
First, rinse the rice and lotus seeds thoroughly, then soak the lotus seeds in cold water for a while. Drain the water and put the lotus seeds in a pot with clean water. Bring it to a boil. After the water has boiled for twenty minutes, add the rice. Remember to stir it with chopsticks to avoid sticking to the pot. Cover the pot and continue to simmer for about half an hour. Then add rock sugar. Continue to simmer over low heat until the congee becomes thick and the rice and lotus seeds are soft and tender. Turn off the heat and serve.
Ginger and Pepper Fish Soup
Ginger and pepper are both warming foods that can help dispel cold and detoxify the body. When combined with crucian carp to make fish soup, it not only tastes delicious but also helps to relieve diarrhea caused by exposure to cold.
First, clean the crucian carp and put it in a pot with the right amount of water and cooking wine. Boil it over high heat until the fish is cooked. Remove the fish, remove the bones, and chop the fish meat into small pieces. Then, add the appropriate amount of sugar, soy sauce, and vinegar to the pot, and pour in the fish meat. Boil for a while and then add the dissolved cornstarch while stirring evenly. When the soup thickens and the fish meat floats to the surface, add the appropriate amount of cilantro and seasonings. Serve hot.
Red Date and Chinese Yam Porridge
Porridge is a nourishing food for the stomach. This red date and Chinese yam porridge not only warms the stomach but also helps to strengthen the spleen and stomach.
First, wash the rice and red dates and soak them for a while. Then peel the Chinese yam and cut it into small pieces. Rinse it with water. Next, pour clean water into a pot, and when the water boils, add the rice and stir it evenly. Then, turn the heat to low and simmer gently. When the rice grains become loose, add the Chinese yam and soaked red dates. Continue to simmer over low heat until the porridge becomes thick. Serve hot.
If you are troubled by diarrhea, these three simple dietary therapies can help stabilize your digestive function and effectively relieve your symptoms. Give them a try.
