1. Often eat bitter food.
Bitter gourd is a very common bitter food in summer. Although it looks attractive, many people don't like it because it tastes bitter. However, in the view of Chinese medicine, the so-called good medicine tastes bitter, and some bitter drugs may be more effective in treating certain diseases. Although bitter, bitter gourd has a good effect in clearing away heat and toxic materials and relieving summer heat.
Moreover, after entering the dog days, for people with heavy moisture in the body, eating bitter gourd or having diuretic effect often helps to promote the excretion of moisture in the body. Therefore, in dog days, I often eat some bitter food such as bitter gourd, which has a good effect on eliminating moisture in my body.
Soak your feet before going to bed
As the temperature rises, people take a bath almost every day after entering the dog days, so many people will abandon the habit of soaking their feet before going to bed. In fact, soaking feet is a very good way to keep fit. Soaking feet before going to bed every day not only helps to relieve the fatigue of the day, release the physical and mental stress, promote sleep and improve the quality of sleep, but also helps people with heavy moisture in the body to soak their feet with warm water before going to bed in dog days, and also helps to eliminate dampness and promote the excretion of moisture in the body. Therefore, for people with heavy body moisture, it is a good choice to insist on soaking feet before going to bed in order to do a good job of eliminating dampness in dog days.
Stick to exercise
In life, in fact, many people have the habit of exercising every day, but after the dog days, people will sweat even if they sit still because of the hot temperature, and because of the high humidity of the air, this will lead to a sticky feeling on their bodies after sweating, which is very uncomfortable. Therefore, in order to avoid this sticky feeling, many people rarely insist on exercising after entering the dog days. However, as we all know, dog days are a good season to get rid of dampness. For people with heavy dampness and cold in the body, if they can insist on proper exercise every day in dog days, they can accelerate the opening of pores on the skin surface and promote the dampness and cold in the body to be discharged with sweat, thus achieving the effect of eliminating dampness and expelling cold.
Although excessive humidity seems harmless to many people, if the body is too humid for a long time, it will easily lead to a series of complications and endanger health. Therefore, in the dog days, a good season to get rid of dampness, we'd better do the above three things well, especially for people with heavy body moisture, otherwise it will be very helpful to get rid of body moisture.
