4. Homemade Shiitake Mushroom and He Shou Wu (Fo-Ti) Porridge to Prevent Arteriosclerosis

Take 30 grams of dried shiitake mushrooms, 12 grams of He Shou Wu, and 100 grams of rice. Soak the shiitake mushrooms in advance, wash them, and cut them into small pieces; grind the He Shou Wu into a fine powder and add it to the rice in a pot with an appropriate amount of water.

Long-term consumption is effective for lipid reduction.
