Well, since I gave birth to a baby, I don't know if it's because I often blow air conditioning during confinement or because I'm too weak and the rainy climate in the south. Since March last year, I have been feeling weak all over, with pimples on my face and back, waxy and oily skin, oily hair if I don't wash it for a day, white tongue and fat and soft stomach.
In fact, I didn't know the reason for the high humidity at first, and I always thought it might be postpartum obesity or something. Later, my best friend came to my house to see my goddaughter. She said that I was simply a postpartum and prenatal person. Later, I told her about some of my symptoms, and she said it might be that my body was wet.
Later, I began to look up information on the Internet. God, as expected, I basically accounted for all the symptoms of heavy humidity, which made me more and more believe that acne and obesity were caused by humidity heat, and then I started my own way to get rid of dampness. After my own attempt, I found that there are two methods of eliminating dampness that are particularly effective, one of which is red beans and barley, and everyone can try it.
1, red bean and barley water
Materials: adzuki bean and coix seed, the proportion of ingredients is 1: 1.
Practice: Coix seed does not need to be washed. Stir-fry directly in the pan, without adding any oil, directly dry-fry until golden brown, then soak the fried Coicis Semen and prepared adzuki beans in water for 2 hours, put them directly into the pan after soaking, add appropriate amount of water to boil, and then turn to low heat for 20 minutes.
This is a famous formula for eliminating dampness. Even the star Huo Siyan is using it, so the effect is still very good. I started to drink this, and later I learned that although red bean coix seed water can dispel dampness, it is not suitable for everyone, because raw coix seed is cool and not suitable for people with weak spleen and stomach and wet cold (see Figure 4 to distinguish whether they are wet cold-damp heat).
2. Hemp lotus leaf fermentation broth
This was introduced to me by my best friend. It is made of hemp seed, lotus leaf, poria cocos, dark plum and other ingredients through probiotic fermentation, so it neutralizes its medicinal properties and is mild in nature, which is more suitable for people like me who are wet and cold and have deficiency of spleen and stomach.
I just tried it at first, but later I found it really worked. After drinking for less than a month, I found that the acne on my face and back began to disappear. Before, my face was yellow and my pores were thick and greasy. Now my makeup is not so oily, and I don't know if it's my illusion. I feel that even the pores are small, and the whole person looks more energetic.
What surprises me most is that I have lost 8 pounds and my stomach is flat in these 20 days. I feel that the whole person has lost a circle. So tell the babies here that moisture is to distinguish between wet and cold &; Dampness and heat can "suit the remedy to the case". Even the red bean barley that is now in full bloom can't be eaten blindly, otherwise it may get wetter and wetter.
As the old saying goes, a thousand cold is easy to get rid of, but a wet one is hard to get rid of. Recently, it has been raining continuously and the humidity is particularly heavy. In addition, everyone is fighting day and night in the air-conditioned room, and the humid pathogens slowly enter the body. In fact, people need far less nutrition in cold winter than in hot summer. In this way, people's nutritional supplement in summer is very necessary.
Heavy moisture is the source of all diseases, and it is most important to get rid of it from the diet. It also helps to strengthen the spleen and stomach, scrape oil and remove fat, and has a good slimming effect. And "drinking soup" is just a good way to supplement physical loss.

Cooking porridge with coix seed or making iced drinks with coix seed in summer are all good supplements. Today, I recommend porridge and soup.

With the arrival of hot summer, the summer heat is flourishing. Some people say that summer is for women. In order to have a graceful figure, women who love beauty dare not slack off in summer, and various weight loss methods and recipes take turns.
I believe you also know that no matter how much you want to have a good figure, "diet pills" cannot be taken casually. Improper dosage and methods are likely to bring some side effects and affect people's health. Many friends who want lean meat have set their sights on "diet therapy". Among them, Coix seed, as a "slimming holy product" with the same origin of medicine and food, is deeply loved by everyone, and recipes such as Coix seed water and red bean Coix seed soup are also emerging one after another.

Coix seed small file
We often talk about coix seed, and its "big name" is coix seed, also called coix seed.
Coix lachryma-jobi seed was first recorded in Shennong Materia Medica Classic and listed as top grade. It was mainly used in medicine at that time. It was not until the Compendium of Materia Medica was recorded in more detail and included in the valley that there were "two kinds, one was sticky, and the one with a thin shell was Coix lachryma-jobi". Its rice is as white as glutinous rice, and it can be used as porridge rice and broken pasta. A person with a round and hard shell is Bodhi. "Since then, barley has become a good product for both medicine and food.

Can coix seed lose weight?
There are many types of obesity, and according to the efficacy of coix seed, it is not difficult to infer that it is mainly aimed at people with heavy moisture, which is what we often call puffiness and edema.
When the humidity in human body is heavy, water can't flow with qi and blood, and stays between human cells, which makes people swell rapidly and form edema. Some people often say that "drinking water makes you fat", which is the reason.
Then coix seed has the function of eliminating dampness, and the purpose of detumescence can be achieved by removing these water liquids stranded in the human body. This is the principle of "losing weight" of coix seed.
Is barley suitable for everyone?
The answer is of course no.
Coix seed has high nutritional value and mild function, and can be eaten as food, which is easy to digest and absorb. For patients who are weak after a long illness and recover after illness, the elderly, pregnant women and children can take it often.
Although coix seed is good, it is not suitable for everyone, and the needs vary from person to person. It should be noted that people with spleen deficiency, dry stool, nocturnal emission, excessive urination and pregnant women are not suitable for eating coix seed.

Although coix seed is slow to take effect, it is still a product of homology of medicine and food, which is biased. It is not suitable for everyone and should not be eaten indiscriminately. If you can't correctly judge whether your physique is suitable, I suggest you consult a professional doctor or pharmacist.
