Red beans have the effects of enriching blood, diuresis and promoting heart activity, and entering the heart meridian belongs to fire;

The relationship between five flavors and five internal organs
It is recorded in Huangdi Neijing that the sour taste of food corresponds to the liver and has the function of strengthening the liver; Bitter taste corresponds to the heart and can enhance the function of the heart; Sweet taste corresponds to spleen, which can enhance the function of spleen; Pungent taste corresponds to lung, which can enhance lung function; Salty taste corresponds to kidney, which can enhance the function of kidney. However, when choosing food, it is good for health to reconcile the five flavors; If the five flavors are too partial, it will cause diseases. For example:
Too much sour taste can easily lead to excessive liver qi and inhibit the function of spleen and stomach (Muketu);
Too much bitterness can easily lead to excessive heart fire and inhibit lung qi (fire and gold);
Too sweet taste can easily lead to excessive spleen and stomach, and inhibit kidney qi (soil water);
Too spicy taste can easily lead to excessive lung qi and inhibit liver qi (Jin Kemu);
Too much salty taste can easily lead to excessive kidney qi and inhibit heart qi (water can put out the fire).
Relationship between five zang-organs and five senses
People's five senses are also directly related to the five internal organs: the liver opens to the eyes, the heart to the tongue, the spleen to the mouth, the lung to the nose, and the kidney to the ears. Patients with liver disease will have symptoms in their eyes, such as yellow eyes, astringent eyes, photophobia and tears; Spleen disease is stuffy in the mouth, eating without melting, chapped lips; People with lung diseases will have stuffy noses, runny noses, sneezing and nosebleeds, and they can't tell the fragrance from the smell. If the heart is sick, the tip of the tongue is red, or the tongue body is not getting better and the speech is unclear; People with kidney disease may have cicadas, itching, back or deafness in their ears. Traditional Chinese medicine not only treats the five senses, but also treats the five internal organs.
1, sour liver: sour food can enhance digestive function and protect the liver. Eating regularly can not only help digestion and kill intestinal bacteria, but also prevent colds, lower blood pressure and soften blood vessels. Dark plum, dogwood, pomegranate, tomato, hawthorn and orange, which are mainly sour, are rich in vitamin C, which can prevent cancer, aging and arteriosclerosis.
2, bitter: There is a saying in ancient times that good medicine tastes bitter. Chinese medicine believes that bitter food can drain, dry and strengthen yin, and has the effect of dehumidification and benefit. Such as orange peel, bitter almond, bitter gourd, lily, etc. Eating regularly can prevent toxin accumulation and treat all kinds of sores.
3, sweet into the spleen: sweet foods can replenish qi and blood, supplement calories, relieve fatigue, detoxify the stomach, and also have a relieving effect, such as brown sugar, longan meat, honey, rice noodles and so on. It is a good choice for nourishing food.
4, spicy into the lungs: Chinese medicine believes that spicy food has the effect of sweating and regulating qi. People often eat onions, garlic, ginger, peppers and prickly ash, which are all spicy foods. These foods can protect blood vessels, regulate qi and blood, and dredge meridians. Regular consumption can prevent colds and colds. However, people suffering from hemorrhoids, constipation and neurasthenia should not eat it.
5, salty into the kidney: salty is the crown of five flavors, never tired of eating. Chinese medicine believes that salty food can regulate the penetration of human cells and blood and maintain normal metabolism. Salty taste has the functions of diarrhea, softening and hardening, dispersing stagnation, nourishing yin and nourishing blood, such as salt, kelp, laver and jellyfish.
