How to remove moisture from the body

If there is too much moisture in your body, you will feel uncomfortable all over. Although the feeling of this phenomenon is not so strong, you will gradually feel that your head is particularly dizzy after getting up in the morning, and you have no strength in your body. If this continues for a long time, it will easily affect your normal daily life and work, so you must find a way to expel the moisture from your body. The treatment process is relatively long, and people need to have sufficient confidence and patience.

1. Keep the room dry and avoid moisture outside

The generation of moisture in the human body is not only due to problems with the body's own metabolism, but also largely related to the environment. External moisture induces internal moisture, and frequent exposure to damp and cold environments can easily lead to moisture invading the body. Therefore, in rainy weather, especially during the return of the south wind, you should close the windows and doors to keep the moisture out.

Secondly, don’t wear clothes that are not completely dry or cover yourself with a damp blanket. After taking a shower, dry your body thoroughly and blow-dry your hair. Also avoid getting wet in the rain and don't let moisture wrap around your body. It is best to buy a dryer and dry all the towels, clothes, etc. at home before wearing them.

Once the weather improves and the humidity decreases, you should open the windows in time to allow air to circulate and take away the moisture in the room. If the humidity outside is still very heavy, it is recommended to use air conditioning, dehumidifiers, etc. to make the indoor air dry to prevent moisture from being retained indoors.

2. Diet adjustment to remove internal dampness

Spleen deficiency and dampness are the basic causes of spring fatigue. The spleen should be strengthened and dampness should be removed, and warming and nourishing the spleen and stomach is the best way to relieve spring fatigue. Because the liver qi is strong and the spleen qi is weak in spring, and the spleen and stomach control the limbs, if the spleen qi is weak, the limbs will be sore, weak and powerless, so the spleen needs to be nourished. For people who do not have severe internal dampness, the diet can strengthen the spleen and remove dampness, eat more crucian carp, carrots, apples, yam, etc., which can slowly relieve the symptoms.

Spleen deficiency: You can use lean meat, pork bones, and any medicinal materials such as Astragalus membranaceus, Codonopsis pilosula, White Peony Root, and Poria cocos to make soup and drink it.

Dehumidifying: If you feel drowsy, tired and heavy, you can make soup with Patchouli, Cardamom, Coix Seed, Euryale ferox, lentil, adzuki bean, etc.

Excessive liver fire: You can eat winter melon, cabbage, white radish, bitter melon, etc. to clear the liver and reduce fire.

3. Eat a light and moderate diet

The gastrointestinal system is related to the metabolism of nutrients and water. The best way is to eat a moderate and balanced diet. Oily foods such as alcohol, milk, fatty and sweet 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.

Raw and cold food, ice cream or cold vegetables and fruits will cause the digestion and absorption function of the stomach and intestines to stagnate and should not be consumed frequently, such as lettuce, salad, watermelon, cabbage, bitter gourd, etc. It is best to add onions and ginger when cooking to reduce the cold nature of the vegetables.

Most people didn’t pay much attention to moisture in the body in the past, because they felt that their physical symptoms were not so obvious. However, with the current environmental pollution, their bodies will have different degrees of conditions, so we must learn to use dietary methods to expel moisture from the body. For example, eating some winter melon, cabbage and other fresh vegetables can help clear the liver and reduce fire.
