The efficacy of coix seed water:

1, Coix seed has high nutritional value. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that it is sweet and slightly cold, which is beneficial to water swelling, invigorating spleen and eliminating dampness, relaxing muscles and tendons, removing arthralgia, clearing heat and expelling pus. It is a commonly used medicine for diuresis and dampness, which is of great benefit to human body.

2. Prevention of cardiovascular diseases

Coix seed can prevent cardiovascular diseases. If you eat 50 ~100g of coix seed every day, you can lower blood cholesterol and triglyceride, and prevent hyperlipidemia, hypertension, stroke, cardiovascular disease and heart disease. Coix seed is also rich in water-soluble fiber, which can adsorb bile salts (responsible for digesting fat), so that the absorption rate of fat in the intestine becomes worse, thus reducing blood lipids and blood sugar.

Extended data:

The taboo of coix seed water:

1, deficiency and cold constitution should not eat more.

Because coix seed is sweet and slightly cold, long-term consumption will make people with deficiency-cold constitution more and more afraid of cold, leading to physical weakness, irregular menstruation and other problems.

2. Patients with hyperlipidemia can't eat barley by themselves.

Although coix seed has the function of lowering blood fat and blood sugar, it is only a health food and cannot be used as medicine. Therefore, patients with hyperlipidemia still need to see a doctor for treatment, and they must not eat barley to treat themselves, so as not to delay the illness or cause the illness to deepen.
