【減肥人生】宜按體質選擇合適飲品
紅豆水薏米水能減肥?
圓碌碌女生:「我屬於水腫性肥胖,朋友推介日日飲紅豆水、薏米水就能祛水腫,真的嗎?」
CheckCheckCin:紅豆水以紅豆加水煲成,紅豆具補血和胃,養血安神的作用,並未能祛水腫或減肥。如果想祛水腫,所指的紅豆應該是赤小豆,赤小豆與紅豆外形相似,但較為細小及窄身,赤小豆具有健脾止瀉、利水消腫的功效,但小便頻多、陰虛、濕熱體質人士就不適宜飲用。
至於薏米水,以生薏米加水煲成,生薏米性涼,有清熱袪濕,利水消腫的功效,可舒緩濕熱、水腫、小便不暢順等症狀。但脾胃虛寒,吃過生冷食物容易胃痛的人不宜多喝,經期中的女生及孕婦亦不宜飲用。
想祛水腫的話,要持之以恆,減低脾胃負擔,保持脾胃健康,身體就不會聚濕!建議每天飲用由紅米、白米及少量生薏米煮成的米水,整體配方屬性平和,任何體質人士均適合飲用,唯生薏米會令子宮收縮,所以不建議孕婦服用。米水兼具健脾胃及健脾滲濕功效,有助解決水腫性肥胖問題。也可在米水的基本上添加少量紅豆,同時補血養好面色!

Can red bean water and coix seed water help to lose weight?
I am always quite bloated. My friends suggest that I drink red bean water and coix seed water every day to relieve edema. Does it work?
CheckCheckCin: Red bean water is made with cooking red beans. Red beans can replenish blood and stomach, nourish blood and calm the mind but not relieve edema or keep fit. If you want to relieve edema, you are talking about rice beans. They look similar to red beans, but are smaller and skinnier. Rice beans can strengthen the spleen, relieve diarrhea, promote diuresis and reduce bloating. They are not suitable for those with frequent urination, yin deficiency and damp heat.
As for coix seed water- made by cooking coix seeds. Coix seeds are cold in nature. They can clear heat, dispel dampness, promote diuresis and reduce bloating. It can alleviate damp heat, bloating and unsmooth urination. Those with asthenic spleen and stomach and prone to have stomache after eating cold/raw food should not drink too much. Not suitable for ladies during menstruation or pregnant women.
If you want to relieve edema, it require diligence. The dampness will not accumulate in the body if you reduce the burden on the spleen and stomach and keep them healthy. The rice water that we encourage people to drink more is made with red and white rice with a little bit of coix seeds. Due to its mild nature, it is suitable for the entire family with the exception of pregnant women as coix seeds can cause uterus contraction. Rice water can strengthen the spleen and stomach and dispel dampness so it is effective to solve the problem of asthenic obesity with edema. You may add a little bit of red beans in the rice water to replenish blood and achieve rosy complexion.
