Stuck in bed with a horrible cold and feeling sorry for yourself? A bowl of warm, comfort food is the perfect pick-me-up. And what could be more comforting than a piping hot bowl of homemade congee?
It is like a nourishing hug in the form of a meal with all the health benefits that can help you recover from your streaming cold.
When you are sick, it can be uncomfortable to eat solid food, especially when you have a sore throat.
But congees are soup based, so easier to swallow and the warmth of the soup can be soothing for the throat too.
We simply tend to gravitate to liquid foods when we are ill and it is important that we stay hydrated. So, liquid foods are good in that way too.
Congee is a great meal option when you are sick as it can keep you nourished. With its high water content, it can keep you hydrated at the same time.
In fact, for generations, rice congee has been referred to as the “magic soup” or “healing soup.” This is because congee has a healing effect for those suffering from the common cold.
The rice is cooked to be very soft, which makes it extremely easy to digest. Eating food that is easy to digest helps to speed up your body’s recovery process.
