Today’s red bean and barley porridge is a good product especially suitable for summer. It has the effects of reducing swelling, slimming, removing dampness and strengthening the spleen. Red bean itself is very low in calories, rich in vitamin E and active ingredients such as potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, zinc, selenium, etc., and has more dietary fiber. It has good effects of moistening the intestines, nourishing blood and qi, and losing weight. Coix seed is called "Coix Seed" in Chinese medicine. It is listed as the top grade in Shennong's Materia Medica. It can not only help digestive tract metabolism, avoid heat accumulation, but also has the effect of diuresis and dampness drainage and the magical effect of whitening skin. How do I know if I have moisture in my body? If you have oily hair, shiny face, drooling during sleep, and a big belly, all these indicate that there is moisture in the body. From the perspective of Chinese medicine, obesity means that there is moisture in the body, and the water cannot flow with the blood. It stays between the cells of the human body, which makes the human body expand rapidly. Especially in this summer, a bowl of red bean and barley porridge can not only lose weight but also give yourself full energy.
