Working in an office building during the summer means constantly being exposed to the combined electromagnetic fields generated by computers and cell phones. With the air conditioning on and windows tightly closed, people spend their days in front of computers and constantly answering phone calls. This environment can cause metabolic disorders due to the increased radiation from the computer and phone. In order to combat this, experts recommend drinking several bowls of mung bean soup every day to effectively fight against radiation and prevent heatstroke.
"Mung Beans: A Cure-all"
While there is no scientific evidence to directly prove that consuming mung bean products, such as mung bean soup, can directly counteract radiation, mung beans are known for their ability to alleviate or treat various discomforts caused by external factors, such as radiation. It can be especially effective as a preventative measure, and drinking a bowl of mung bean soup every day can have this effect.
How much mung bean soup should be consumed daily?
It depends on an individual's personal condition. If someone has a strong physique, is prone to getting overheated or has excessive toxins in their body, they can drink a more concentrated mung bean soup and it is even okay to have multiple bowls.
The benefits and consumption of mung beans
During the summer, mung bean soup has been traditionally used to cool down the body and get rid of dampness, toxins, and heat. Drinking mung bean soup can help reduce body heat and prevent heatstroke in both adults and children. Mung beans can also be cooked with other foods for better therapeutic effects. Take 100 grams of mung beans and 30 grams of honeysuckle, boil them in an appropriate amount of water for about 10 minutes, and drinking the clear soup will relieve the heat.
In addition to drinking mung bean soup, if someone experiences other discomforts related to indoor radiation and heat, such as allergic eczema or itchy skin, they can soak mung beans until soft, remove the skin, boil it to make "bean skin water," and use it to wash the affected areas. If the affected areas are open wounds, the cooked mung bean skin can be mashed and applied as a poultice, which will promote quick healing.
A quick way to cook mung beans until soft is to wash them well, put them in a thermos, pour in boiling water, and close the lid. After 2-3 hours, the mung beans will swell and soften. Pinch them with your hand to check if they are soft enough. If they are, you can cook them in a pot for a short period of time until they become tender. If they are not soft enough, continue soaking them. Well-soaked mung beans will easily become soft and tender when cooked.
