Why people make this congee

Nourilo points out that puffiness has many causes. People with kidney inflammation may swell easily; in older adults, or anyone with heart or liver trouble, swelling deserves real caution because it can signal something serious. Hormonal imbalance and poor nutrition can cause it too. This gentle congee is most suited to mild, nutrition-related puffiness — a soothing, everyday porridge that leans on corn and its silk.
