Xiao Zhong lose weight
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. 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. 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 suitable for middle-aged and elderly people and obese people.
A handful of barley and a handful of red beans. You don't need to catch one at a time in strict proportion, wash it and put it in a pot with water. After cooking, it is a good product for eliminating dampness and strengthening the spleen-barley red bean porridge. Eating breakfast or dinner is very effective for thin face and thin legs. However, you should pay attention to your daily diet. If you drink barley porridge, eat big fish and big meat, high-salt and high-calorie food, you will naturally not see the effect.
