    From the point of view of traditional Chinese medicine, corn is plain and sweet, and enters the liver, kidney, and bladder. It has the effects of diuresis, swelling, spleen and dampness, and liver and gall bladder. Especially worth mentioning is its appetizing effect. "Compendium of Materia Medica" considers it to be "appetizing in the stomach", while "Materia Medica" promotes it as a "stomach-enhancing agent", and decoction has the effect of diuresis. Therefore, people with poor appetite, such as the elderly, children, people who have been ill in bed, usually drink more corn porridge is good for the body.
