The first method is to reduce salt to help the kidneys drain water; Eating too much salt will inevitably lead to more water intake, and many people with heavy mouths are not slim. Many popular science articles often remind people to add more salty boiled water or salty drinks in summer, which is correct. But this is mainly aimed at people who engage in strenuous exercise and manual labor in summer, and may not be suitable for white-collar workers who rarely sweat. Because the salt ingested in the body is mainly excreted through the kidney, when too much salt is ingested or the kidney is diseased, too much sodium can not be excreted in time.
The second method is massage drainage, which is healthier than sauna; Speaking of drainage, the most easily associated lazy trick is to take a sauna. This passive sweating method is not suitable for hot summer, especially for frequent use. Because sauna can speed up blood circulation and eliminate moisture in the body, sweating too much during sauna is not conducive to heart health. In fact, compared with sauna, warm bath and a little massage are healthier ways to drain water.
The third method is to take a proper nap to make the body lighter; Experts believe that a good sleep can also make our bodies lighter. Because overwork is easy to consume qi and blood, deficiency of qi and blood will further aggravate the stagnation of water and dampness. In summer, the days are long and the nights are short. Many busy professionals work overtime at night, so they often have insufficient sleep time at night. Pay special attention to the combination of work and rest. For white-collar workers, a proper nap can supplement the lack of sleep at night, relax the brain and body system, and greatly improve the work efficiency in the afternoon.
The fourth method is to lose weight by draining water, starting with strengthening the spleen; People with spleen deficiency tend to get wet more easily and weigh more than others. Chinese medicine believes that the spleen has the function of transporting water and dampness. After the spleen and stomach are damaged, they can't transport normally, and the water dampness will stop. After a large number of damp pathogens accumulate in the body, heavy body, abdominal distension and even diarrhea, eyelid edema and other discomforts come to you in the morning. Summer is coming, if you eat too much ice cream and cold drinks, it will aggravate the problem of spleen deficiency and make the weight problem deeper.
