Method for judging whether the moisture in the body is heavy or not:
1, when you get up in the morning, do you feel whether your calf is sore or not? These are also typical characteristics of dampness.
2. If you feel particularly tired when you get up every morning, your hair is faint, you can't get up, or you are as listless as wearing wet clothes and people are too lazy to move, then you can judge that you are wet.
3, look at the morning when brushing your teeth, evil is not disgusting. Many people say that when they brush their teeth, they vomit, which makes them sick. There is always a feeling of untidiness and uncleanness in their throats, even if they vomit only a little.
4. Take a few seconds before brushing your teeth in the morning and look at your tongue in the mirror. "Tongue is the seedling of the heart, and it is also a disease outside the spleen". Tongue can sensitively reflect our physical condition.
A healthy tongue is reddish and moist, with a layer of tongue coating, which is thin, white and quiet, moderately dry and wet, not slippery or dry. If the tongue can't reach these indicators, it means that there is something wrong with the body function. If the tongue coating is white and thick, it looks smooth, indicating that there is cold in the body; If the tongue coating is rough or thick and yellow and greasy, it means that there is damp heat in the body; If the tongue is red without coating, it means that the body is too hot to hurt the yin.

5, after the morning is convenient, you can observe the stool. Is it stuck to the toilet? A box of water can't be washed clean. If it is not convenient to observe the toilet, you can also observe the toilet paper. If it is normal, one or two pieces of paper will be enough. If you wipe three or five pieces of paper repeatedly, it also means that your body is wet.
The color and shape of stool can also help to judge whether there is dampness in the body. Normal stool is golden banana-shaped, and few people have this kind of healthy stool now. When the body is wet, the stool is blue, soft and shapeless, and there is always a feeling of uncleanness. After a long time, the toxins produced by defecation remain in the body, and all diseases are numerous.
Seven tricks for eliminating dampness
1, drainage, starting from 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, it can't be transported normally, and the water is wet and stops inside. 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. Experts remind that in addition to eating spleen-strengthening foods such as yam and red dates, you should also control your mouth if you love ice cream. Even if you eat it, it is best to eat it around noon. It is forbidden to eat it just after getting up in the morning or before going to bed at night. Besides, don't drink ice water.

2, three melons and two beans to remove moisture
Watermelon and cucumber have good dehumidification effect and can be eaten properly, but don't overdo it. Wax gourd, mung bean and white lentil also have good dehumidification effect. Wax gourd and mung bean can be boiled and drunk, and white lentils can be boiled and eaten. Porridge food, rice, millet and mung beans or barley, rice and mung beans are cooked together to drink porridge, which can play a certain role in strengthening the spleen and stomach and preventing dampness.
3. Less salt is helpful for kidney drainage.
Eating too much salt will inevitably lead to more water intake, and many people with heavy mouths are not slim. Although popular science articles often remind people to supplement salty boiled water or salty drinks in summer, this suggestion is correct, but it 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 the salt ingested is too much or the kidney is diseased, the excessive sodium ingested in the body cannot be excreted in time, the sodium ion concentration in the blood increases, and more water enters the blood vessels, which easily leads to water and sodium retention and edema uninvited. Although you don't eat much, you look one size older than others.
4. Avoid humid environment
In addition to the problem of self-metabolism, a large part of the water produced in our body is related to the environment. Often in a humid and cold environment, it is easy to cause moisture to invade the body. If the indoor humidity is high, it is recommended to keep the air circulating and let the air take away the humidity. When the floor is wet, mop it up immediately to avoid water retention. If the external humidity is also high, you can turn on the fan and air conditioner to keep air convection with these appliances.

5, massage drainage, 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. Warm water bath can make the body sweat slightly, and combined with simple massage, it can not only discharge moisture from the body, but also be a good way to relax. If you have time, you can get better detoxification and drainage effect by using the physical therapy techniques of professional masseurs in the body SPA once a week.
6. The lazier you are, the more you should exercise.
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.
7. Dry your hair when you wash it.
Many girls are used to washing their hair at night, and it is easy to fall asleep when their hair is not completely dry, or let the masseur wet their hair when they wash their hair in a shampoo shop, which will let moisture enter the scalp (massage after drying their hair). Therefore, after washing your hair, you should fully dry the water and never fall asleep with your hair wet.
