If they can replace white rice as a staple food source in appropriate amounts, they can also achieve the benefits of eliminating edema and helping with weight loss! However, although coix seed has many benefits, it is not suitable for everyone. Follow the nutritionist’s advice and eat it like this. Only by eating coix seed at the right time and in the right amount can you get the highest CP value!

Job's tears not only whitens the skin and reduces edema, but also lowers cholesterol and stabilizes blood sugar

From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, coix seed has the effects of clearing heat, promoting diuresis, and reducing swelling. It is a rare good food for people who are particularly prone to dryness and edema in the humid and hot summer. In addition, coix seed contains flavonoids that can reduce the damage of ultraviolet rays to the skin, and it is a good helper for whitening in summer.

Not only that, coix seed is also rich in water-soluble dietary fiber, which can delay gastric emptying, effectively increase satiety, and can also combine with bile acid to be excreted with feces, remove cholesterol from the blood, and is more beneficial to delay the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates and help stabilize blood sugar.

Job's tears are cold in nature and should be avoided by people with weak constitution or during menstruation.

Although coix seed has many benefits, it is not suitable for everyone! Job's tears are slightly cold in nature, so women with weak bodies or who are menstruating are not recommended to eat too much. Compared with white rice and white noodles, job's tears have a higher dietary fiber content and are less likely to cause large fluctuations in blood sugar. However, they are still a staple food, so diabetic patients need to pay special attention to the amount they consume.

Cooking rice and red beans together can also help lose weight and reduce swelling

Job's tears are a staple food. If you replace white rice as a staple food for a regular meal, you don't have to worry about eating too much, and you can still get the above-mentioned benefits. However, it may be a bit difficult to directly replace the whole bowl of white rice with coix seeds. Therefore, it is recommended that you can put white rice together with red beans and coix seeds in the rice cooker. Red beans and white rice are neutral in nature and can be eaten by people of all body types.
