To remove the moisture in the body, the method is very simple, and only two "drugs" are needed.
These two medicines can be eaten as tea and can solve big problems. One is coix seed and the other is red bean. These two things don't need to be caught in any proportion at a time. Wash them and cook them in a pot with water. After cooking, it is a good product for eliminating dampness and strengthening the spleen-glutinous rice red bean porridge.
There are many skills and exquisite skills in the cooking of glutinous rice and red bean porridge. Coix seed is hard, and so are red beans. If you keep cooking in the pot, it won't rot for more than an hour, wasting fire or electricity, and may even dry the water, causing the bottom to paste.
I suggest two ways: first, add enough water to the pot, turn off the fire after boiling, let the barley and red beans stay in the pot for half an hour, add fire, and stay in the pot for half an hour after boiling, and the red bean porridge will be cooked.
The second method is simpler, that is, clean the thermos bottle that is not commonly used in our family now, put the coix seed and red beans in it, then pour in boiling water and plug the bottle cap to make it stuffy. Every night, there will be porridge in the morning, just for breakfast. This is very simple and energy-saving, so you don't need to cook it. One advantage of glutinous rice red bean porridge is that it won't be sticky. There are always rotten red beans and glutinous rice under it, and reddish soup on it. Most of the effective components of glutinous rice and red beans are in the soup.
Because there is a lot of water when cooking porridge, these soups can be drunk as tea for a long time. If it is summer, you should try to finish it in the morning, because it will go bad in the afternoon. Those glutinous rice and red beans that sink to the bottom can still be eaten. If it doesn't taste good, you can add some sugar. Can't this be both tea and dinner?
As for the efficacy, it is really serious. Coix lachryma-jobi seed, called "Coix lachryma-jobi seed" in Chinese medicine, is listed as the top grade in Shennong Herbal Classic. It can eliminate dampness and benefit the stomach, eliminate edema, strengthen the spleen and benefit the stomach, and can strengthen the body and replenish qi if taken for a long time. Red beans, known as "adzuki beans" in Chinese medicine, also have obvious diuretic and detumescence effects and spleen and stomach strengthening effects. Because they are red, they can nourish the heart.
Modern people are under great mental pressure and lack of spirit; Poor diet, less exercise, spleen deficiency and dampness. To eliminate dampness, nourish the heart and strengthen the spleen and stomach, barley and red beans are the only ones. Boiling it into porridge is intended to make its effective components fully absorbed by the human body, and at the same time it will not cause too much burden on the spleen and stomach.
The "detumescence" effect of coix seed and red bean is also very interesting. We must not think that swelling is edema. Look at people now, at least five or six out of ten people are fat and swollen, which is called bloated. In Chinese medicine, obesity or edema means that the body is wet, and water can't stay between somatic cells with the flow of qi and blood, which makes the human body expand rapidly.
So is edema, and so is obesity, but to different degrees. Drugs or foods with strong dehumidification function can discharge these watery liquids remaining in the human body and also reduce swelling. Therefore, red beans must be used to treat edema, and practice has proved that barley red bean porridge has a good weight loss effect, which can not only lose weight, but also does not hurt the body. Especially for middle-aged and elderly obesity, the effect is particularly good.
Dampness is the root of all kinds of chronic incurable diseases in modern times, and Coix seed and red bean soup is a good medicine for treating dampness.
Q: "Why can't glutinous rice and red bean porridge be cooked into a sticky shape?" When cooking barley and red bean porridge? Never add rice to it!
Why? Because rice grows in water and contains moisture, it is wet and sticky, so it will thicken when cooked. Both red beans and coix seed are dehumidified and contain no water, so they are not strong and the soup is clear. Traditional Chinese medicine just uses its clarity to get rid of the dryness and dampness of human body. Once rice is added, it is equivalent to adding water, so the whole porridge is thick.
Although the taste is better, it is not a good thing for health. Because of that handful of rice, all the red beans and barley were wasted, and the effect was useless.
Coix seed, a commonly used Chinese medicine, is also a common food that is often eaten. Sweet in taste and slightly cold in nature, it is beneficial to detumescence, invigorating spleen and eliminating dampness, relaxing muscles and tendons, removing arthralgia, clearing heat and expelling pus, and is a commonly used diuretic. The main components of coix seed are protein, vitamin B 1 and B2, which have the effects of smoothing skin, reducing wrinkles and eliminating spots. Long-term drinking can treat brown spots, freckles and blisters, make the spots disappear and moisturize the skin.
Moreover, it can promote the metabolism of blood and water in the body, and has the functions of diuresis and edema elimination. It is also a kind of food and drink.
In terms of diet, eat more light and digestible foods and avoid eating high-calorie, high-fat and fried foods. People with excessive humidity and poor physical condition can also eat some peppers appropriately. By eating spicy food, it can help digestion, increase appetite and increase calories in the body, thus helping to prevent digestive juice secretion and gastrointestinal peristalsis that often occur when people are in high humidity.

Some people say that it is difficult to cook red beans with barley. How to cook it so as not to be sticky or thick. Can you put some rice or other food together?

Red adzuki bean is red, nourishing blood. It is recorded in ancient books that "long-term use has slimming effect", which means that eating red beans often has slimming effect. Coix seed is cold, which mainly has the function of clearing heat and promoting diuresis. Summer is just a hot summer, wet inside and wet outside. Using these two drugs can just nourish blood and eliminate dampness.
It is this clear and light, non-sticky and non-thick phase that can achieve the effect of clearing heat and eliminating dampness. However, from the perspective of prevention, it is also good to add a handful of red beans and a handful of barley when cooking rice porridge.
