Introduction
Generally, it is better to drink mung bean soup in summer. Mung beans have the effects of clearing heat, reducing internal fire, relieving alcohol intoxication, detoxifying, and protecting the liver and improving vision, thus promoting detoxification of the liver and gallbladder. In summer, high temperatures often cause the body to become overheated and dry, making people prone to heatstroke or indigestion due to the hot external environment. Drinking an appropriate amount of mung bean soup can help alleviate symptoms such as headache, dizziness, nausea, and vomiting caused by these conditions.

Mung beans have the benefits of reducing internal heat, relieving alcohol intoxication and toxins, protecting the liver, and improving vision. Adding an appropriate amount of rock sugar when cooking mung bean soup enhances its sweetness and promotes diuresis. Mung bean soup can also boost metabolism and support detoxification of the liver and gallbladder. In summer, high temperatures often cause the body to become overheated, making people prone to heatstroke or digestive problems. Drinking mung bean soup in moderation can help relieve symptoms such as headache, dizziness, nausea, and vomiting caused by these conditions. Therefore, drinking mung bean soup is particularly suitable in summer.
Although mung bean soup is effective for clearing heat and relieving summer heat, it has a cold and cooling nature. One should avoid consuming large amounts or drinking it on an empty stomach in daily life, as this may lead to gastrointestinal discomfort. Additionally, women during menstruation should avoid drinking mung bean soup, as it may impede smooth menstrual flow and worsen menstrual cramps. Mung bean soup also contains relatively high sugar content; while the general population may occasionally consume it, individuals with diabetes are advised against drinking it, as it is not conducive to blood glucose control.
