The most suitable food for summer~Milk-flavored purple sweet potato, barley and red bean cake

Overview

The efficacy and function of barley and red bean porridge. The main function of barley and red bean porridge is to remove dampness. It can remove moisture from the body. It is very suitable for consumption in summer and for people with heavy moisture in the body. It can be eaten as a meal and is a good product for removing dampness and strengthening the spleen. Barley, called coix kernel in traditional Chinese medicine, is listed as top grade in "Shen Nong's Materia Medica". It can cure dampness, benefit the intestines and stomach, eliminate edema, strengthen the spleen and stomach, and lighten the body and replenish qi after long-term use. Red beans, called adzuki beans in Chinese medicine, also have obvious effects of diuresis, reducing swelling, and strengthening the spleen and stomach. Because they are red and red in the heart, they can also replenish the heart. Modern people suffer from high mental stress, weak heart Qi, irregular diet, little exercise, and spleen deficiency and dampness. It is necessary to remove dampness, replenish the heart, and strengthen the spleen and stomach. Barley and red beans are the best ones. Boiling it into porridge is intended to allow the active ingredients to be fully absorbed by the body without causing any burden on the spleen and stomach. It is also interesting to note the swelling-reducing effects of barley and red beans. We must not think that swelling means edema. If you look at today's people, at least five or six out of ten are fat. This is also called bloated body. According to traditional Chinese medicine, whether it is obesity or edema, it means there is dampness in the body. Water cannot flow with Qi and blood and remains between human cells, causing the human body to expand rapidly. Edema is like this, and so is obesity, but the degree is different. Drugs or foods with strong dehumidifying properties can remove the water retained in the human body and reduce swelling. Therefore, red beans must be used to treat edema, and practice has proven that barley and red bean porridge has a good weight loss effect. It can lose weight without harming the body, especially for middle-aged and elderly obese people. Dampness is the root cause of various chronic and stubborn diseases in modern times, and barley and red bean soup is the best medicine to cure dampness. After I usually give patients prescriptions, I always tell them some things to pay attention to in their diet and daily life. The most common one is to go back and make barley and red bean soup to drink as tea. For patients who do not meet this condition, I will let them make porridge with barley and red beans as the staple food for dinner. One advantage of barley and red bean porridge is that it never becomes sticky or thick no matter how you cook it. There are always rotten red beans and barley at the bottom, and there is a light red soup on top, and most of the active ingredients of barley and red beans are in the soup. When making porridge, add more water. This soup is enough for us to drink for half a day, which can be used as tea... How to make barley and red bean porridge: mix barley and red bean at a ratio of 2:1 (just give an approximate number). Wash the barley and red beans and soak them overnight. Put all the ingredients into a pot, add water and bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to simmer and cook until the barley is cooked. You can add some rock sugar or brown sugar as appropriate when drinking. In addition to red bean and barley porridge, you can also learn more about the properties and taste of various foods, draw inferences from one example, and make additions and subtractions by yourself to formulate more dietary prescriptions suitable for your own physique. In this way, food can truly become a good product for health preservation. For example - gloomy look, lack of energy, even palpitations, sleepiness, and empty heart: barley and red beans plus longan. Irritability and insomnia, or rashes and acne on the face: barley and red beans with lily and lotus seeds. Cold pain in the stomach, poor appetite, and cold sensitivity: barley and red beans with ginger. Kidney deficiency: barley and red beans with black beans. Athlete's foot: barley and red beans with soybeans. Cough: barley and red beans with pear. Loss of appetite and body weight: add barley and red beans to yam. Diarrhea, abdominal pain, diabetes: add barley and red beans to pumpkin. Weakness, premature ejaculation, spermatorrhea, and excessive nocturia: add barley and red beans to gorgon. Pregnant women: reduce barley and add a small amount of astragalus and dangshen. Parturients: reduce barley and add jujube, millet, and brown sugar. Important tip: Some people say that when making barley and red bean porridge, add a handful of rice to make it taste more delicious. I advise you not to do this, because rice contains moisture, and red beans and barley are both dehumidifying. Once rice is added, moisture is added. Although the taste may be better, it is not a good thing for health. Just because of that handful of rice, all the red beans and barley are in vain, and have no effect.
