Because of the sickness my father-in-law is less appetite some more he is on soft diet too. Because of his sickness I have go through my recipe to found some food which his suitable to him. Actually Huai Shan is quite suitable to old people due to it is easy to digest and able to take care of our stomach. This congee benefits the spleen and the kidneys, stimulates body fluid secretion, strengthens the Lungs and replenishes Jing (essence of life). It is good for diabetes caused by Kidney-Asthenia too.
