The efficacy and function of glutinous rice wine

Traditional Chinese Medicine: Glutinous rice wine is sweet and mellow, can stimulate the secretion of digestive glands, increase appetite and aid digestion. After brewing, the nutrients in glutinous rice are easier for the human body to absorb, making it an excellent product for replenishing qi and blood for middle-aged and elderly people, pregnant women and those with weak bodies. Stewing meat with glutinous rice wine can make the meat more tender and easier to digest. Glutinous rice wine also has the effects of refreshing, relieving fatigue, quenching thirst and cooling off, promoting blood circulation and moisturizing the skin. It also has a certain effect on the following symptoms: pale complexion, spontaneous sweating; or weak constitution, dizziness, sallow complexion, shortness of breath, stomach pain, and clear stools.

Western medicine: Rice wine is a product of glutinous rice or rice fermented by Rhizopus (and a small amount of Mucor and yeast). Its chemical composition and physical state have undergone great changes. The starch is converted into small molecule sugars, the protein is partially broken down into amino acids and peptides, the changes in lipids and the changes in the binding state of vitamins and minerals all effectively promote the improvement of its nutritional function. Its nutritional function is based on such chemical and physical changes. Moreover, some flavor substances produced during the fermentation process also greatly improve its taste.

It is recommended that you can do it yourself. Wine lees must not be consumed before meals, as it can easily cause gastrointestinal abnormalities.
