Is millet porridge a "trigger food"?

Generally speaking, millet porridge is not considered a "trigger food." The detailed explanation is as follows:

"Trigger foods" usually refer to foods that are highly nutritious or stimulating and may trigger certain diseases, cause recurrence of pre-existing conditions, or worsen ongoing illnesses. Millet porridge is primarily made by simmering millet, which contains abundant dietary fiber, vitamins, and other nutrients. It has the benefits of strengthening the spleen and nourishing the stomach, as well as moisturizing the intestines. Consuming it in moderation helps regulate the digestive functions of the spleen and stomach, improves insufficient gastrointestinal fluids, and nourishes the blood, thereby assisting in replenishing qi and blood. Therefore, millet porridge is not classified as a trigger food.

Although millet porridge is not a trigger food, millet itself tends to be cooling in nature. Individuals with cold-deficiency body constitution or those who experience frequent, clear, and copious urination should consume it sparingly to avoid potential adverse effects on health.
