In recent days, I have been in poor health. I often wake up in the middle of the night. I took a look in the mirror in the morning and found that my eyes are always swollen, my hair loss is also very serious, and my waist obviously has a tendency to increase fat. Because of injury, you can't lose fat by doing exercises, so you can make some soups to reduce fat, reduce swelling, and reduce swelling. The cool autumn is also suitable for lightness.
Coix Seed and Winter Melon Soup is a very good choice. It can not only diuresis and remove dampness, whiten the skin, lose weight, but also prevent hair loss. I have done it a few times and add different seasonings each time. In fact, I still feel that after eating it. The soup without any seasoning is the most flavorful-the original special fragrance of the ingredients. "
