Break through the weight loss wall period and eat coix seed to lose weight and beautify the skin

Do you hit a wall in the winter when losing weight? Are you always so angry that your blood pressure soars because you can’t lose weight? Perhaps, eating coix seed in moderation is a good choice. Nutritionists say that coix seed contains nutrients such as dietary fiber, vitamins C and E, coix seed, which are necessary for weight loss and body beauty, and unsaturated fatty acids that can help cleanse the blood. If you eat it as a moderate substitute for rice or as a snack, it can effectively help you lose weight.

Job's tears can help you lose weight, mainly because of dietary fiber and vitamin B

Li Wanping, a nutritionist at Rongxin Clinic, mentioned in her new book "Slimming Food Ranking" that coix seed is low in calories and rich in dietary fiber, which can help smooth bowel movements, assist in eliminating excess fat and harmful substances in the body, and increase satiety.

In addition, the calcium and potassium contained in coix seed can promote blood and water metabolism, and has diuretic and anti-edema effects; the rich vitamin B2 can promote the absorption and metabolism of nutrients in the body, and is also an indispensable nutrient for weight loss.

However, nutritionist Li Wanping reminds us that coix seed and rice are both staple foods with a high sugar content. They should be eaten in small amounts and at multiple times, and should be partially replaced with staple foods to avoid gaining weight instead of losing weight due to "excessive" eating. In addition, there are two types of coix seed on the market: red coix seed and white coix seed. The difference is that the bran is not removed from the red coix seed, so it retains higher levels of dietary fiber and vitamin B6, making it more suitable for people who are trying to lose weight.
