Coix seed and red bean porridge can remove moisture from the body, and the method is very simple, only two kinds of "drugs" are needed. These two medicines can be eaten as tea and can solve big problems. One is coix seed and the other is red bean. These two things don't need to be caught in any proportion at a time. Wash them and cook them in a pot with water. After cooking, it is a good product for eliminating dampness and strengthening the spleen-glutinous rice and red bean porridge. There are many skills and exquisite skills in the cooking of glutinous rice and red bean porridge. Coix seed is hard, and so are red beans. If you keep cooking in the pot, it won't rot for more than an hour, wasting fire or electricity, and maybe you will dry the water, resulting in sticky rice and red bean porridge. 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 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 bottle that is not commonly used in our family now, put the coix seed and red beans in it, then pour in boiling water and plug the bottle cap to make it stuffy. Every night, in the morning, it will be barley and red bean porridge, which will be breakfast. This is very simple and energy-saving, so you don't need to cook it. One advantage of glutinous rice red bean porridge is that it won't be sticky. There are always rotten red beans and glutinous rice under it, and reddish soup on it. Most of the effective components of glutinous rice and red beans are in the soup. Because there is a lot of water in glutinous rice and red bean porridge, these soups can be drunk for a long time, just as tea. If it is summer, you should try to finish it in the morning, because it will go bad in the afternoon. Those glutinous rice and red beans that sink to the bottom can still be eaten. If it doesn't taste good, you can add some sugar. Can't this be both tea and barley and red bean rice? As for the efficacy, it is really serious. Coix lachryma-jobi seed, called "Coix lachryma-jobi seed" in Chinese medicine, is listed as the top grade in Shennong Herbal Classic. It can treat damp arthralgia, benefit stomach, eliminate edema, strengthen spleen and benefit stomach, and make people fit and benefit qi after long-term administration. Red beans, known as "red beans" in Chinese medicine, also have obvious diuretic and detumescence effects and spleen and stomach strengthening effects. Because it is red, it enters the heart, so it can also nourish the heart. Modern people are under great mental pressure and lack of spirit; Poor diet, less exercise, spleen deficiency and dampness. To eliminate dampness, nourish the heart and strengthen the spleen and stomach, barley and red beans are the only ones. Boiling it into barley and red bean porridge is intended to make its effective components fully absorbed by the human body, and at the same time it will not cause too much burden on the spleen and stomach. The "detumescence" effect of coix seed and red bean is also very interesting. We must not think that swelling is edema. Look at people now, at least five or six out of ten people are fat and swollen, which is called bloated. In Chinese medicine, obesity or edema means that the body is wet, and water can't stay between somatic cells with the flow of qi and blood, which makes the human body expand rapidly. So is edema, and so is obesity, but to different degrees. Drugs or foods with strong dehumidification function can discharge these watery liquids remaining in the human body and also reduce swelling. Therefore, red beans must be used to treat edema, 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 incurable diseases in modern times, and barley and red bean porridge is a good medicine for treating dampness. After I give prescriptions to patients in the outpatient department, I always tell them some precautions in diet and daily life, the most important of which 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 and red bean soup and barley and 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 a fact. I have a patient who runs a big company. He felt particularly good after drinking my glutinous rice and red bean porridge. He even ordered his 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 highland 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 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 cooked glutinous rice and red bean porridge." As a result, the porridge thickens and tastes delicious! " I said, "Never add more rice!" Why? Because rice grows in water and contains moisture, it is wet and sticky, so it will thicken when cooked. Both red beans and coix seed are dehumidified and contain no water, so they are not strong and the soup is clear. Traditional Chinese medicine just uses its clarity to get rid of the dryness and dampness of the human body. Once rice is added, it is equivalent to adding water, so the whole porridge is thick. Although the taste is better, it is not a good thing for health. Because of that handful of rice, all the red beans and barley were wasted, and the effect was useless. In addition to the above practices, you can learn more about the nature and taste of various foods, add and subtract them yourself, and form more dietary prescriptions suitable for your physique. Only in this way can food really become a good health care product.
