How can I get rid of moisture and lose weight? Can sweat steaming get rid of moisture?

One of the most obvious characteristics of obesity caused by heavy moisture is a small belly. Due to lack of exercise, the moisture in the body cannot be discharged well. People of this type may wish to remove excess moisture from the body before losing weight.

How to get rid of moisture and lose weight

Diet therapy: Euryale, Barley and Red Bean Porridge

① It is best not to lack these three. Although coix seed and red bean are good in removing dampness, removing dampness is inseparable from strengthening the spleen, because the spleen is responsible for transportation and transformation, and dampness must be transported and transformed by a healthy spleen. Men with heavy dampness mostly have spleen deficiency, and the spleen-strengthening effect of Gorgon fruit is far better than that of coix seed and red bean.

② Because Job's tears are slightly cold in nature, before cooking the porridge, you should first stir-fry it in a pan over low heat until it turns slightly yellow.

③Because the ingredients are not easy to be cooked, it is best to soak them in warm water for about half a day before cooking porridge; after the porridge is cooked and the fire is turned off, do not rush to open the lid of the pot, simmer for about 1 hour before opening the lid. It is best to cook it in a pressure cooker.

④ Be sure to choose long-shaped red beans to remove dampness. Do not use ordinary red beans.

⑤ There is no strict limit on the amount of ingredients used. The recommended ratio is: 100g coix seed: 50g water chestnut: 10g red bean. You can also adjust it yourself, but it is usually better to use more coix seed.

Sweating during exercise

More than 30 minutes of aerobic exercise, such as brisk walking, jogging, hula hooping, dancing...

Steam

When steaming, expose your head. You can do it at home. The traditional steaming method is: put boiling water or moxa leaf water in a large bathtub, put a fire brick in the middle of the bathtub as a seat, and after the person sits on it, wrap the naked body with a quilt, and expose the head. Steam until the water is no longer boiling hot, that is, sweating, which can remove dampness and detoxification.

Can sweat steaming remove moisture?

Steaming can remove moisture.

Steaming allows the body to quickly excrete a large amount of sweat, and at the same time, the body's cold and damp gases are also expelled, so steaming can remove moisture from the body. In addition, steaming can accelerate blood circulation, speed up metabolism, and has a good purifying effect on the body. However, steaming is not suitable for everyone.

Heavy dampness can be divided into Yin deficiency damp-heat constitution and phlegm dampness constitution.

Among them, people with Yin deficiency and damp-heat constitution are not suitable for sweat steaming, because if people with this constitution sweat steaming will cause the loss of sweat, and sweat is a kind of yin fluid in the body in traditional Chinese medicine. A large amount of loss will aggravate Yin deficiency and is not good for physical health.

People with phlegm-damp constitution are very suitable for sweat steaming. Frequent sweat steaming can help sweating and facilitate the excretion of water in the body.

What causes high humidity?

Spleen deficiency:

According to traditional Chinese medicine, a weak spleen cannot transport and transform water, which can easily cause water retention in the body. Problems with water transport and transformation can cause moisture to harm the body.

Often in a damp and cold environment:

Being in a damp and cold environment for a long time can cause internal dampness in the human body, hindering the spleen and stomach from transporting food and water, and causing phlegm and dampness to stagnate. Living in a damp and cold environment for a long time can cause external dampness to damage the meridians, qi and blood, causing qi and blood stagnation, qi movement obstruction, and hindering water metabolism.

Frequent consumption of raw and cold food:

If you are greedy for raw, cold food, it is easy to damage the Yang Qi, causing Yang deficiency and resulting in symptoms of dampness.

Heavy-flavor diet:

People who prefer heavy tastes in food, such as sweet or salty tastes, are not good for gastrointestinal absorption, which blocks the meridians and causes moisture to spread in the body.

Qi and blood deficiency:

Deficiency of Qi and blood leads to reduced organ functions, affected spleen and stomach function, blocked meridians, and water retention, which hinders water metabolism.

constipate:

The anus is the excretion channel of the human body. Constipation will make excretion difficult, causing the body to accumulate more moisture and become more susceptible to illness.

mood:

From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, the liver corresponds to emotions. If one is always in a bad mood, liver qi will become stagnant, qi flow will not flow smoothly, it will be detrimental to the functioning of internal organs, it will affect transportation and metabolism, and it will cause water accumulation.

Lack of exercise:

If people do not exercise regularly, the water in the body cannot be excreted well. Over time, it will cause the body to become more damp. In order to maintain normal metabolism, it is recommended to develop an exercise habit so that the water in the body can be excreted through sweat.
