People with poor spleen and stomach often feel loss of appetite and decreased digestive ability in summer. Chinese medicine believes that coix seed has the functions of invigorating spleen and lung, clearing away heat and promoting diuresis, and is particularly easy to digest and absorb. It is a good diet food, suitable for people with weak spleen and stomach. Coix lachryma-jobi seed can inhibit striated muscle, which is a natural product for beauty and wrinkle removal. For people with spleen and stomach deficiency and cold, wrinkled face and dull complexion, it is recommended to cook porridge with yam, jujube and millet, or to fry barley and grind it into powder. Coix seed also has a good anti-cancer effect. So, you can eat it every day. However, you should pay attention when washing coix seed. Wash gently with cold water first, don't rub hard, and then soak in cold water for a while. The water used for soaking rice should be cooked with rice and cannot be discarded, so as to avoid the loss of nutrients contained in coix seed during soaking.
Because coix seed has obvious slippery effect, patients with nocturnal emission and enuresis and pregnant women should not eat it.
