Red Bean and Barley Oatmeal Porridge

Before I tell you how to make this porridge, let us first understand why this porridge is called nutritious porridge.

Chinese medicine believes that among modern people, at least five or six out of ten are overweight, which means that there is dampness in the body. Whether it is obesity or edema, it means that there is dampness in the body. Coix seed and red bean are the best partners for treating dampness. The more dampness is removed, the more swelling is removed, and the further away from various chronic diseases related to obesity, such as high fat, high blood pressure, diabetes, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. In addition, oats are rich in soluble fiber, which can promote gastrointestinal motility, thereby effectively preventing constipation and the occurrence of colon cancer. There are many other benefits, which I will not list one by one. In short, for us modern people, we have too much to eat, and modern work does not require heavy physical labor. In addition, many people's metabolism slows down in middle age, making it difficult for us to avoid swollen body shape, and this porridge will be of great help to us. Drink it every day, and help us solve or reduce the "stigma" brought to us by this era.

How to make this porridge? It takes an hour or so to cook the coix seeds and red beans. How can you eat them in the busy morning? I cook these two ingredients separately in large quantities in advance, and then make them into ice cubes and put them in the refrigerator. Every day, I just need to cook oatmeal porridge. When the oatmeal porridge is boiling, I put in a few coix seeds and red bean ice cubes. When the oatmeal is cooked, the porridge is ready. Isn't it fast, convenient and healthy? When you want to cook other whole grain porridge and want to save time, can you also do the same?
