In recent years, the concept of disease prevention and health preservation has been accepted by people, and more and more people have begun to care about their health. How can we tell whether there is moisture in the body?
0 1
Where does the moisture come from?
1, bad living habits
In daily life, eating some cold food, spicy food, staying up late, disordered work and rest, lack of exercise or insufficient exercise will all lead to the increase of moisture.
The body has a self-regulating mechanism. When the body is lost, our body will automatically expel it from the body, and then properly accumulate water for the fish. The adjustment ability of the body is that moisture will gather and the constitution will change with time, so reducing the intake of moisture is the key.
2. Natural environment
Living in a "humid" living environment for a long time will give cold air a chance to invade the body, resulting in a gradual increase in water in the body. In several subtropical provinces in the south, such as Guangdong, Guangxi and Fujian, there are more patients suffering from moisture than in the north.
3. Spleen deficiency
Traditional Chinese medicine says that "spleen governs transport and transformation", and the most important thing is that the moisture produced by water hardening and body moistening is discharged from the body through spleen deficiency. When the temper is weak, the body's ability to expel moisture will decline, leading to the accumulation of moisture in the body, and natural moisture will increase.

What are the manifestations of "heavy moisture" in the body?
1, inexplicable fatigue
If the humidity is high, it will often make patients feel physically tired. Generally speaking, people in a good mental state will remain energetic and will not feel inexplicable fatigue. They often feel tired, especially when they are easily tired, which shows that people with edema and obesity should be vigilant.
2. Thick and greasy tongue coating
Thick and greasy tongue coating is a signal of heavy moisture in the body. Many people have heavy moisture in their bodies, which is related to spleen injury. When the spleen is injured, the water in the body cannot be excreted smoothly.
At this time, the tongue coating will also give a warning, mainly because the tongue coating is thick and white, and you often can't feel the taste when eating, and even obvious tooth marks will appear. These symptoms all indicate that the body is too wet.
3, loss of appetite
Most patients have a lot to do with their daily diet when they are wet. People who are wet themselves should pay more attention to their personal diet, and don't eat some raw or cold food often, otherwise their appetite will drop.
Only by maintaining the normal function of the spleen can the excess water in the body be excreted in time, otherwise it is because of improper diet that the moisture in the body is too heavy, so everyone must adjust it in the right way. Only by driving away the moisture can the appetite slowly return to normal.

People with heavy humidity have a particular diet in summer! Remember less 4, or help to stay away from moisture.
Summer diet, remember four small.
1, watermelon
Watermelon is a typical fruit in summer, which contains a lot of water and vitamins and is good for the body. However, from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, watermelon is very easy to lead to the gradual increase of moisture in the body, which is not conducive to the dissipation of moisture.
Watermelon itself belongs to a kind of fruit with cold taste. If the moisture in the body is heavy, eating a lot of watermelon will only affect the normal operation of the spleen and stomach, leading to abdominal discomfort, such as diarrhea.
2.pitaya
Pitaya is one of the most popular tropical fruits in recent years. Although not as sweet as watermelon, the sugar content of pitaya can not be ignored. At the same time, pitaya contains a lot of antioxidants, which is very beneficial to vascular health.
However, many Chinese medicine practitioners believe that pitaya is a cool fruit. If you eat too much, it is likely to lead to moisture stagnation in the body. If you don't adjust and rest for a long time, it will only lead to deficiency and cold constitution.
Step 3: bananas
Banana is not only known as "constipation expert", but also rich in elements A and Mg, so it is a fruit that can prevent hypertension and help to eliminate fatigue.
After eating, bananas are rich in dietary fiber, which can lubricate the intestines and relieve constipation. But for patients with heavy moisture, bananas are not the right choice, because bananas are a cold fruit, which easily leads to the accumulation of moisture in the body and only aggravates the symptoms of moisture.
4, jackfruit
Jackfruit is a kind of fruit that grows in hot and humid areas. It is rich in fruity aroma and deeply loved by people, but it is not well digested by the spleen and stomach.
If you eat too much, it will only increase the digestive burden of the spleen and stomach, which will cause many people to have symptoms such as flatulence. When the spleen and stomach are out of balance, it will also affect normal water metabolism.
