Winter is a cold season and also a time for health preservation. Winter health maintenance is one of the traditional self-care methods in China to prevent diseases and strengthen the body, enhancing immunity and cold resistance.
Since we are discussing health preservation, we must mention winter diet, as “food supplements are better than medicinal supplements.” As long as we eat well and appropriately, we can naturally turn every day into a nourishing experience.
Whole grains are essential for health preservation. Do you know which delicious and easy-to-prepare whole grains can become staple health foods in winter?
01
Xiao Mi (Millet)
Xiao Mi is one of the most common household grains besides staple foods like rice and white flour. This tiny grain not only has higher nutritional value than rice and white flour but can also be made into mixed rice or porridge, enhancing the aroma of the meal and promoting appetite. It can also be brewed into wine, providing benefits such as nourishing the liver and kidneys, strengthening the spleen, warming the liver, and aiding digestion, making it a high-quality beverage for health in winter.
02
Yan Mai (Oats)
Yan Mai is also a high-quality grain for winter health. Its ability to lower blood lipids and cholesterol effectively prevents common cardiovascular issues in winter. In terms of preparation, oats can be cooked into porridge or combined with milk, dried fruits, and fruit slices to create a rich and sweet oatmeal breakfast that is delicious, visually appealing, and nutritionally balanced, awakening your dormant taste buds.
03
Hei Mi (Black Rice)
As a type of black food, Hei Mi is known as “blood-nourishing rice” and “longevity rice,” with various health benefits such as nourishing yin, benefiting the kidneys, and supplementing the stomach. Historically, it has been classified as “tribute rice.” Today, Hei Mi has entered countless households, whether cooked into porridge or steamed with rice, providing both taste and health satisfaction.
04
Yi Mi (Job’s Tears)
Yi Mi has a long cultivation history in China and is one of the oldest grains that are both medicinal and edible. It can strengthen the spleen and stomach, nourish the lungs, clear heat, dispel wind, and eliminate dampness, possessing extraordinary health benefits, earning it the title of “king of the Poaceae family.” Yi Mi is often cooked with red beans to make porridge, providing balanced nutrition, rich texture, and strong aroma, helping to improve sub-health conditions.
