1. When drinking mung bean soup for the purpose of cooling off summer heat, don't eat the beans together. Just drink clear soup (don't cook for too long, add cold water to raw mung beans and cook for five or six minutes) to achieve good results.
In addition, mung beans are better when cooked with other foods. For example, to prevent heatstroke, you can drink mung bean honeysuckle soup: take mung beans100g and honeysuckle 30g, add appropriate amount of water and cook for about10min. After drinking the clear soup, the summer heat will disappear completely.
2. The cooked mung bean soup has a good effect of clearing away heat and toxic materials. Because of its diuretic effect, it can also remove toxins from the body after drinking food or drugs, and also has certain curative effects on heat swelling, heat thirst, heat dysentery, carbuncle, pox poison and so on. This kind of mung bean soup is turbid in color, and its summer-heat effect is poor, but it has a strong heat-clearing and detoxification effect.
Mung beans, day lilies, and jujubes, in appropriate amounts, can be decocted with water to treat upper vomiting and diarrhea. In modern times, mung bean soup is often used to assist detoxification. For example, eating more mung bean soup in daily diet has a certain effect of removing lead poisoning.
3. In addition, drinking mung bean soup has the effects of lowering blood pressure (blood pressure food) and cholesterol and preventing atherosclerosis.
