Causes of excessive moisture in the body

Not getting enough sleep can lead to dampness

From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, insufficient sleep is a symptom of spleen deficiency, and getting a good night's sleep can also make our bodies lighter. It is recommended to go to bed before 11 o'clock every night. Adding some exercise every day will help you sleep better.

Strong flavors will attract moisture

The quality of gastrointestinal function is related to the metabolism of nutrients and water. The best way is to eat a moderate and balanced diet. Greasy, overly salty, overly sweet and other fatty and greasy foods are difficult to digest and can easily cause gastrointestinal bloating and inflammation. Sweets and fried foods will cause the body to produce peroxides, aggravating the inflammatory response.

Eating cold food will cause dampness

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that raw and cold foods, ice cream or cool vegetables and fruits will cause the gastrointestinal digestion and absorption function to stagnate, creating opportunities for external evil to invade. Therefore, it is not advisable to consume excessive amounts. It is best to add onions and ginger when cooking to reduce the cold nature of the vegetables.
