What if the humidity is heavy?
Most people with heavy body moisture are people who eat greasy food and lack exercise. These people often feel heavy, weak and unwilling to move, but the less they like sports, the more water they accumulate in their bodies. Over time, it will inevitably lead to the invasion of moisture into the spleen and trigger a series of diseases.
Exercise can relieve stress, promote the operation of body organs and accelerate the excretion of water. Running, walking, swimming, yoga, Tai Chi and other sports help to activate blood circulation and increase water metabolism.
The gastrointestinal system is related to nutrition and water metabolism, and the best way is a moderately balanced diet. Oily foods such as wine, milk, fat meat and thick taste are not easy to digest, which is easy to cause bloating and inflammation. Sweets and fried products will make the body produce peroxide, which will aggravate the inflammatory reaction.
Cold food, frozen products or cool fruits and vegetables will make the digestion and absorption function of the stomach stagnate, so it is not advisable to eat them often, such as lettuce, salad, watermelon, Chinese cabbage and bitter gourd. It is best to add onions and ginger when cooking to reduce the coldness of vegetables.
