Eye fatigue is mainly caused by prolonged and excessive eye use from activities such as computer work, reading, or watching TV. Black beans are sweet in flavor and neutral in nature, rich in nutrients like protein, carotene, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, and niacin. They have the effects of nourishing the kidneys and strengthening the body, activating blood circulation and promoting urination, detoxifying, and nourishing yin to improve vision. Goji berries are sweet and neutral in flavor, able to nourish the liver and kidneys, benefit essence and improve vision, nourish blood, and enhance immunity. Modern medicine suggests that goji berries can effectively relieve fatigue, lower blood pressure, protect the liver, reduce blood sugar, soften blood vessels, lower blood lipids, and treat kidney failure. People with weak constitutions and poor resistance are more suitable for long-term consumption.
Goji Berry and Black Bean Porridge
Below, I'll teach you how to make a "Goji Berry and Black Bean Porridge" that can effectively help you alleviate eye fatigue.
100 grams of black beans, 3-5 grams of goji berries, 5-10 red dates, with appropriate amounts of cooking wine, ginger juice, and salt. Add an appropriate amount of water, bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a low heat and simmer until the black beans are thoroughly cooked. The resulting soup can be consumed. It is best to drink it in the morning and evening, 2-3 cups each time, and it can be consumed long-term. You can add 30-50 grams of rock sugar to the porridge and let it dissolve before drinking. Alternatively, you can steep 2-3 chrysanthemum flowers (which have the effect of clearing the liver and improving vision; small, yellowish chrysanthemums are the best choice) in the freshly cooked porridge for even better results in preventing and treating eye fatigue and blurred vision. You can also add 1 spoonful of walnut powder, 10 ml of milk, and 1 spoonful of honey to the porridge for a significant improvement in alleviating eye fatigue.
This black rice porridge is most suitable for "computer users" and "TV enthusiasts" whose eyes are prone to fatigue, and it is most effective when consumed consistently every day. However, note that goji berries should not be used excessively when making the porridge. Generally, for healthy adults, it is best not to consume more than 20 grams per day. People with colds, fever, inflammation, diarrhea, or other illnesses should not add goji berries to the porridge; you can simply use black rice or replace the goji berries with cassia seeds.
