Mung beans are cool and sweet. Drinking mung bean soup in hot summer is good for relieving summer heat. If you want to use mung bean soup for heatstroke prevention, you can cook mung bean water directly or with honeysuckle. Drinking it properly every day can play a role in dispelling summer heat.
Because of the hot weather, it is easy to lose appetite in summer, and mung beans are rich in protein, phospholipids and other elements, which can not only supplement the nutrients needed by the body, but also stimulate the nerves, thus promoting appetite.

Eliminating dampness and clearing heat: in the view of Chinese medicine, it means that there is dampness in the body. Water can't flow with qi and blood and stay between human cells, which makes the human body expand rapidly. Red beans are rich in B vitamins and iron, and also contain protein, fat, sugar, calcium, phosphorus, nicotinic acid and other ingredients, which have the functions of clearing away heat and diuresis, eliminating dampness and expelling toxins.
Detoxification and weight loss: Red beans are not only delicious food, but also a panacea for doctors. Compendium of Materia Medica says that they have a downward trend, which can dredge the small intestine, induce diuresis and reduce swelling. At present, 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. Water can't flow with qi and blood and stay between human cells, which makes the human body expand rapidly. So is edema, so is obesity, but the degree is deep and shallow. Drugs or foods with strong dampness-removing properties can discharge these residual water in the human body, and can also reduce swelling.
