I believe everyone is familiar with the effects and functions of red beans. Let me summarize it for you below.

Adzuki Bean

Adzuki beans are a highly nutritious and multifunctional grain that is indispensable in people's lives. Adzuki beans contain a variety of nutrients. Every 100 grams of adzuki beans contains 21.7 grams of protein, 0.8 grams of fat, 60.7 grams of carbohydrates, 76 grams of calcium, 386 milligrams of phosphorus, 4.5 milligrams of iron, 0.43 milligrams of thiamine, 0.16 milligrams of riboflavin, and 2.1 milligrams of niacin. So what are the effects and side effects of adzuki beans?

Let me first introduce the main effects and medicinal value of red beans:

The efficacy and function of red beans

1. Adzuki beans contain more saponins, which can stimulate the intestines, so they have a good diuretic effect, can relieve alcohol and detoxify, and are beneficial for heart disease, kidney disease, and edema;

2. Adzuki beans contain more dietary fiber, which has good effects on moistening the intestines and promoting bowel movements, lowering blood pressure, lowering blood lipids, regulating blood sugar, detoxifying and fighting cancer, preventing stones, and promoting bodybuilding and weight loss;

3. Red beans are rich in folic acid. Postpartum women and nursing mothers can eat more red beans to promote lactation.

All medicines are poisonous. No matter what kind of medicine it is, it has its side effects, and of course, red beans are no exception. Although red beans can help lose weight, long-term consumption of red beans will make people dark, thin, and dry, and in severe cases will affect the absorption of the digestive system. In addition, people with yin deficiency but no damp heat, and those with clear and long urine should not eat red beans. If a person bitten by a snake eats red beans within 100 days, it will cause very serious sequelae. So, good medicines should be used with caution.
