Traditional Chinese medicine believes that most people in damp heat constitution have increased moisture in their bodies, which eventually leads to damp heat. So if they want to improve their physique, they must first get rid of dampness. How do we do this? The simplest way is to let the moisture out along the pores, and people in damp heat constitution often get wet with water, and there is no vent, so the moisture can't be naturally discharged from the body, so they can only stay in the body and continue to do evil.

skill
In real life, many people think that porridge is helpful to digestion, but it is not, because whether the body can digest well depends mainly on whether food and saliva are fully mixed. If you only drink porridge, how can rice grains be fully mixed with saliva without chewing at all? Therefore, while drinking porridge, we should also eat some dry rice, so that the food can be fully chewed and the digestive enzymes in saliva can fully contact with the food, thus promoting the complete digestion of the food in the stomach.
