Today's experts said at the beginning that some health foods will "change their faces". So, which ones will "change their faces": red beans, glutinous rice water, yam, cherry, lotus leaf, lotus stalk, lotus seed and lotus root? For example, the beloved dampness artifact barley water will actually change its face! Experts found three kinds of people on the spot: wet type, dry type and dry-wet type, telling everyone who can drink coix seed water and who can't. So besides highland barley water, what other health foods will change their faces?

Red beans and barley will change face.

Case: A patient of Director Jiang, like most people, has been cooking red bean and barley soup to get rid of dampness since June because of the hot weather. But by the end of August and early September, she felt more and more thirsty. The thin tongue coating has turned into shedding coating, which is endogenous dryness. Director Jiang told her that this was the aggravation caused by excessive moisture.

Coix seed water is also the favorite of director Jiang. In summer, she drinks a glass almost every day, but since the end of August, she has stopped drinking! Because autumn dryness has come out at the end of August, if too much moisture is excluded at this time, endogenous dryness, external dryness plus internal dryness will aggravate the original diseases of the body.

Therefore, red bean glutinous rice soup was originally a good ingredient for dampness and health, but if it is not eaten correctly, it will "turn your face" and damage your health.

Are you suitable for drinking red bean and barley soup?

Everyone knows that summer gets wet and autumn gets dry, but between summer and autumn, there is another season called long summer. In this season, summer and autumn are wet and dry. How to judge whether you are wet, dry or both?

As can be seen from the tongue diagram:

Wet weight: white and greasy tongue coating

Coexistence of dryness and dampness: white greasy with peeling.

Dry weight: red tongue, no tongue coating.

Therefore, for red bean and coix seed water, people with heavy moisture can drink it now, and people with dry body should drink less in summer. Now that it has entered autumn, don't drink it any more. People with dry body are not suitable for drinking.

If you don't know how to read the tongue, there is a simpler way to judge whether we are suitable for drinking red bean and barley water to get rid of dampness.
