Now, in order to make the porridge taste more fragrant and beautiful after cooking, especially in some restaurants, some alkali will be put in the porridge to make it more attractive and more delicious for customers. But in fact, eating too much porridge is not good for your health, and it also destroys the nutrition of porridge itself. This kind of porridge is best advised not to put or eat less.
Because our body pays attention to acid-base balance, if we often drink porridge containing alkali, once it exceeds the needs of the body, it will easily lead to acid-base imbalance in our body, which will lead to endocrine disorders and even more serious acidosis or alkalosis.
It seems that adding some alkali to porridge can shorten the cooking time, and at the same time make porridge smell delicious and taste good, but from the health and nutrition point of view, it will actually destroy the nutritional components of porridge. Not adding alkali is not only harmful to the body, but also beneficial to our body's absorption of porridge nutrition.
There are actually many ways to make porridge look sticky and delicious. For example, when cooking porridge, you can put a handful of glutinous rice, a spoonful of oats or some honey locust rice. These methods can increase the consistency of porridge, which will not only destroy the nutrition of porridge, but also make your body absorb some extra nutrition, which is beneficial to your body.
Therefore, no matter what you eat, you should follow the nutritional needs of your body, and don't add intake casually, otherwise it may threaten your health.
