Chinese Barley Slimming Soup
Traditional Chinese doctors recommend this soup in
spring and summer, because the season encourages phlegm.
But most Chines women who concern about their look
usually take this soup year round. This soup help
you to lose excess water weight,improves metabolism,and
improves circulation of Qi. To Chinese, Qi (Energy)
is the basis of good health.When adequate, it fuels
metabolism so that food is transformed into energy
and blood instead of waste. But when Qi is deficient,then
digestion and elimination are poor, and we retain
more water and accumulate phlegm, fat, and cysts.
To your good health, it's recommended to eat at least
one bowl daily.
