Coix seed and red bean porridge can remove moisture in the body, and the method is very simple, only two "medicines" are needed. These two medicines can be used as tea and food, and can solve big problems. One is coix seed, the other is red bean. These two kinds of things need not be caught in any proportion at a time, washed and boiled in a pot with water. After cooking, it is the best product to remove dampness and strengthen the spleen-barley red bean porridge. There are many skills and exquisite skills in cooking glutinous rice and red bean porridge. Coix seed is very hard, and red beans are also very hard. If you keep boiling in the pot, it will not rot for more than an hour, which is a waste of fire or electricity, and maybe it will boil the water dry, causing the glutinous rice and red bean porridge to paste the bottom. I suggest two ways: First, add enough water to the pot, turn off the fire after boiling, let the barley and red beans stay in the pot for half an hour, add fire, and then stay in the pot for half an hour after boiling, and the barley and red bean porridge will be cooked. The second method is simpler, that is, clean the thermos that is not commonly used in our family now, put the coix seed and red beans in it, then pour in boiling water, plug the bottle head and stuffy it. Every night, it will be coix seed and red bean porridge in the morning, just for breakfast. This is very easy and energy-saving, so you don't have to cook it. One of the advantages of glutinous rice and red bean porridge is that it won't be sticky and thick, and there are always rotten red beans and glutinous rice at the bottom and reddish soup at the top. Most of the effective ingredients of glutinous rice and red beans are in the soup. Because a lot of water is put in the glutinous rice and red bean porridge, these soups may be enough for us to drink for half a day, just as tea. If it is summer, you have to try to finish it in the morning, because it will spoil in the afternoon. Those glutinous rice and red beans that sink to the bottom can still be eaten. If you feel that the taste is not very good, you can mix some sugar. Can't this be used as both tea and barley and red bean rice? As for the efficacy, it's really serious. Coix seed, called "Coix seed" in traditional Chinese medicine, is listed as the top grade in Shennong Materia Medica Classic. It can cure damp arthralgia, benefit the stomach, eliminate edema, strengthen the spleen and benefit the stomach, and make people fit and benefit the qi after long-term administration. Red beans, known as "red beans" in Chinese medicine, also have obvious effects of promoting diuresis, reducing swelling and strengthening the spleen and stomach. Because they are red, they enter the heart, so they can also nourish the heart. Modern people have great mental stress and heart-qi deficiency; Poor diet, less exercise, spleen deficiency and dampness. It is necessary to get rid of dampness, nourish the heart and strengthen the spleen and stomach, and it is none other than barley and red beans. Boiling it into barley and red bean porridge is intended to make its effective components fully absorbed by the human body, while not causing much burden to the spleen and stomach. It is also very interesting about the "detumescence" effect of coix seed and red bean. We must not think that swelling is edema. Look at today's people, at least five or six out of ten people are fat, which is also swollen and called bloated. In the view of Chinese medicine, obesity or edema means that the body is wet, and water can't flow with qi and blood and stay between somatic cells, which makes the human body expand rapidly. So is edema, so is obesity, but the degree is different. Drugs or foods with strong dehumidification can get rid of these water liquids that remain in the human body, which can also reduce swelling. Therefore, the treatment of edema must use red beans, and practice has proved that barley red bean porridge has a good weight loss effect, which can not only lose weight, but also does not hurt the body. Especially for middle-aged and elderly obesity, the effect is particularly good. Dampness is the root of all kinds of chronic and intractable diseases in modern times, and barley and red bean porridge is the best medicine for treating dampness. After I give my patients a prescription in clinic, I always tell them some precautions in their diet and daily life, among which the most important thing is to go back and cook glutinous rice and red bean porridge for tea. For patients who really don't have this condition, I will let him cook porridge with barley and red beans as the staple food for dinner. A student once asked me, "Why do you let everyone drink barley red bean soup and barley red bean porridge?" I said, because getting wet in the body is a common problem of modern people, barley and red bean soup is suitable for everyone. This is the truth. I have a patient who runs a large company. After drinking my glutinous rice and red bean porridge, he felt very good. He even ordered their company's kitchen to cook porridge with glutinous rice and red beans every morning to make breakfast for employees who arrived early. Put the boiled barley and red bean soup in several large heat preservation barrels for the employees of the whole company to drink. People often ask, "Why can't the barley and red bean porridge be cooked into a sticky shape?" Some people think they are smart and say, "I added a handful of rice when I was cooking the glutinous rice and red bean porridge. As a result, the porridge became thick and tasted beautiful!" I said, "Never add more rice!" Why? Because rice grows in water, it contains moisture and is wet and sticky, so rice thickens when it is boiled. Both red beans and coix seed are dehumidified and do not contain moisture, so they are not thick and the soup is very clear. Traditional Chinese medicine just uses its clear nature to get rid of the dampness of the human body. Once rice is added, it is equivalent to adding moisture, so the whole porridge is thick. Although the taste is better, it is not a good thing for health preservation. Because of that handful of rice, all the red beans and coix seed are in vain, and the effect is useless. In addition to the above-mentioned practices, you can learn more about the nature and taste of various foods, add and subtract by yourself, and form more dietary prescriptions suitable for your physique. In this way, food can really become a good health care product.
