1. Understand the manifestations of spleen and stomach cold

Cold spleen and stomach is a common physical condition in traditional Chinese medicine, which is mostly manifested by symptoms such as cold hands and feet, cold abdomen, and loss of appetite. In this case, the digestion and absorption of food is often affected, which can easily lead to loss of appetite and malnutrition. And mung bean soup, as a traditional food that clears heat and detoxifies, often makes people wonder: can people with a cold spleen and stomach drink it?

Second, the characteristics of mung bean soup

Mung bean soup is sweet and cool, and has the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, dissipating heat and quenching thirst. It is often loved by people in the hot summer. However, the cold nature of mung beans makes it necessary to be extra cautious when drinking mung beans in people with a warm constitution or a cold constitution with a weak spleen and stomach. If your constitution is cold, mung bean soup may further stimulate the spleen and stomach, thereby aggravating abdominal pain, diarrhea and other uncomfortable symptoms.

3. Can I drink mung bean soup with a cold spleen and stomach?

For people with a cold spleen and stomach, drinking mung bean soup is not completely impossible, but you need to consider the way you drink the soup. It is recommended to choose a moderate amount of warm mung bean soup and avoid drinks that are too cold. At the same time, adding some warm ingredients, such as ginger slices or red dates, can neutralize the coldness of mung beans, thereby reducing the uncomfortable effects on the stomach and intestines.

4. Tips for making mild mung bean soup

To make a mung bean soup that is suitable for the spleen and stomach cold, first soak the mung beans in advance to shorten the cooking time. During the cooking process, a few slices of ginger and some red dates can be added. This not only increases the flavor of the soup, but also effectively relieves the coldness of the mung beans. After cooking, the soup is drunk in a warm state, which not only protects the taste, but also soothes the cold of the body.

5. Pay attention to the amount and frequency of drinking

Although the above methods can reduce the coldness of mung bean soup, people with a cold spleen and stomach still need to pay attention to the amount and frequency of drinking. It is best to drink an appropriate amount of mild mung bean soup once a day to avoid burdening the body and affecting the normal operation of the spleen and stomach. It should also be paired with some warm foods, such as chicken, mutton and rice, to enhance the body’s yang energy.

summary

In general, people with a cold spleen and stomach need to be cautious when drinking mung bean soup, but it is not completely impossible to enjoy. With reasonable collocation and control, mung bean soup can still be a part of the regimen. Drink it in moderation and pay attention to your body’s reactions to make mung bean soup a plus for your health.
