Mung bean is not only a food but also a traditional Chinese medicine. Chinese medicine practitioners believe that green beans are cool, sweet, and have the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, refreshing summers, and suppressing thirst and stomach. From the point of view of diet, the natural properties of food, such as warm and cold, must be consistent with the constitution of the ingestor in order to play the role of health care (health food).
Although mung bean soup has the effect of relieving heat, relieving phlegm and thirst, the following types of people are unfit for drinking:
First, people who belong to a cold body (such as cold limbs, fatigue, low back pain, diarrhea will be thin, etc.), eating mung beans will aggravate the symptoms, and even trigger other diseases.
Second, the elderly, children (children's food) and physical weakness. Because mung bean contains more protein than chicken, macromolecular proteins (protein foods) need to be converted into small peptides and amino acids (amino acid foods) under the action of enzymes to be absorbed by the body. These people have poor digestive function and it is difficult to digest (digest the food) mung bean protein in a short time, and it is easy to cause diarrhea due to indigestion.
Third, people are taking various types of drugs. The detoxification of mung bean stems from the fact that mung bean protein and other components combine with organic phosphorus and heavy metals to form sediments. However, these detoxification ingredients also react with the relevant components of the drug, which reduces the efficacy of the drug.
