Why people make this congee

In recent years more older adults have turned to gentle, everyday wellness — partly because medical care can be costly and the idea of “prevent before illness sets in” resonates. Nourilo likes this Four-Black Congee as a comforting bowl for middle-aged and older folks: it is traditionally associated with supporting the kidneys and spleen, looking after cardiovascular health, and nourishing the body without being harsh.
