Foods suitable for edema

Daylily:

Daylily is mild in nature, sweet and slightly bitter in taste, and enters the liver, spleen, and kidney meridians. It has the effects of clearing heat and promoting diuresis, detoxifying and reducing swelling, stopping bleeding and relieving restlessness.

Eating suggestions: Fresh daylily contains a substance called "colchicine". Although it is non-toxic in itself, it is absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract and oxidized into "colchicine" in the body, which becomes highly toxic. Therefore, it is recommended to eat dry products, eat them after running, and don’t eat too much each time.

cucumber:

It is cool in nature, sweet in taste, and slightly toxic; it enters the lung, stomach, and large intestine meridians. It has the effects of clearing away heat and promoting diuresis, detoxifying and reducing swelling, promoting body fluid and quenching thirst.

Serving suggestions: Cucumbers can be eaten raw as fruit, but not too much. Cucumbers contain fewer vitamins, so when you eat cucumbers often, you should eat other fruits and vegetables at the same time.

green beans

Mung beans have the effects of clearing away heat, invigorating qi, quenching thirst and promoting diuresis.

Eating suggestions: People who sweat a lot in the summer or work in a high temperature environment, lose a lot of water, and lose the most potassium, which disrupts the electrolyte balance in the body. Boiling mung bean soup is the most ideal method for replenishing water. It can not only replenish water, but also replenish inorganic salts in time, which is of great significance for maintaining water and electrolyte balance.
