Mung beans are cold and sweet, and have the effects of clearing away heat and toxic materials, relieving summer heat and quenching thirst. However, for people with weak constitution such as cold hands and feet, abdominal distension and diarrhea, it is best not to drink too much, and you can choose to cook mung bean porridge, which is a slightly mild way to eat.
Not suitable for people who drink mung bean soup.
One kind is people with cold constitution, such as cold and weak limbs, cold pain in waist and legs, diarrhea and loose stools. Eating mung beans will aggravate symptoms and even cause other diseases.
The second category is the elderly, children and people with weak constitution. Because the content of protein in mung beans is more than that in chicken, macromolecular protein needs to be converted into small peptides and amino acids under the action of enzymes before it can be absorbed by human body. This kind of people have poor gastrointestinal digestive function, it is difficult to digest mung bean protein in a short time, and it is easy to cause diarrhea due to indigestion.
The third category is people who are taking various drugs. Because mung bean has detoxification function, if the drugs taken by patients, whether traditional Chinese medicine or western medicine, contain organic phosphorus, calcium, potassium and other components, mung bean will combine with these components to form a precipitate, thus decomposing the efficacy and affecting the treatment.

Misunderstanding of removing fire
Myth 1: blindly eating "bitter" fire. Chinese medicine believes that bitter food has the effects of clearing away heat and purging fire. Modern medicine has found that alkaloids in bitter food are beneficial to seasoning, digestion and improvement of human physiological functions, but it is a misunderstanding to eat "bitter" when it gets angry. First of all, bitter foods are mostly cold, and people with weak constitution, diarrhea, the elderly and children should not eat more, so as not to damage the spleen and stomach.
Secondly, there are many kinds of "fire" in Chinese medicine, and we can't blindly eat "bitterness" to get rid of fire. For example, redness and swelling of the eyes (such as acute conjunctivitis) is inflammation of liver fire; Dry mouth, bad breath, dry stool, it is stomach fire, eat some bitter gourd, bitter chrysanthemum, drink kudingcha, etc. Symptoms of heart fire, such as sores on the tongue, can drink some lotus plumule tea.
Myth 3: Get angry and eat snacks to get rid of fire. Snacks and drinks such as Guiling Ointment, Glycyrrhiza Apricot, Chuanbei Loquat Sugar and Guangdong Herbal Tea have become popular "fire-extinguishing products". Many people think that eating these foods can "put out the fire", but it is not. First, many snacks are suspected of exaggerating publicity, and the effect of removing fire is not so good.
Second, although Guiling Ointment and Herbal Tea have certain fire-removing effects, their quality is mixed, and most of them have the problem of sugar exceeding the standard, which may lead to obesity and "three highs". Third, not all people are suitable for eating. For example, the authentic recipe of Guiling Ointment can relieve upset mouth, dry throat, sore and prickly heat on the skin, but if you want to use it to treat excessive internal heat, it is obviously insufficient.
Due to the cold nature of Guiling Ointment, people with weak spleen and stomach, loss of appetite and loose stools should not eat it. Once abdominal pain, lack of diet and diarrhea occur, they should stop using it immediately.
Myth 4: Eating more fruits can put out the fire. Some cool fruits have a certain effect of removing fire, such as pears, persimmons, bananas, kiwis and grapefruit. Fruit is rich in vitamins, minerals and dietary fiber, so it is healthy to eat in summer.
However, durian, litchi, longan and other fruits may add fuel to the fire, so it is best to eat less. Moreover, eating fruit under fire should also be "different from disease to disease". For example, peaches can not only relieve constipation, dry mouth, sore throat and other symptoms caused by excessive heat, but may also aggravate the symptoms.
