5. Expert advice

MSc. Dr. Nguyen Quang Duong said that digestive disorders caused by cold are common in people with weak spleen and stomach or cold body, especially when eating cold food, drinking cold water or eating irregularly. Using medicinal porridge helps warm the middle and strengthen the spleen, is easy to absorb, and prevents cold evil from entering. However, people with chronic diseases should choose porridge suitable for their physical condition and use moderate amounts, not too thick or too spicy.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, there is a saying: "The spleen and stomach are the root of postnatal life, the source of the biochemistry of Qi and blood." When the spleen and stomach are healthy, the body has enough energy to fight against cold and disease. Therefore, in the cold season, "eating to prevent disease" is not just a slogan but an important method of health preservation.

A bowl of hot porridge every morning, simple, easy to make, is a precious "medicine" that helps keep the stomach warm, stabilizes digestion and increases resistance in the cold season...
