Moisture, as the name implies, is the existence of excess water in the body. Is the word moisture just a fixed cognition, or does it really exist in our bodies? Many people don't have a clear concept. After all, this is an invisible and intangible existence. Where does this invisible "moisture" come from? Many people will have such questions.
Now people attach great importance to health, and more and more people pay attention to health preservation. Everyone only knows that heavy moisture is harmful to the body, and it is easy to lose appetite, obesity, greasy skin and edema. Many people think that drinking too much water will make the moisture heavy. Is it true?/You don't say. Let the doctor tell you how the "moisture" comes today. Is it related to drinking water?
The essence of moisture is the waste water in human body. The main source of water in the body is the water in daily drinking water and food, which initially reaches our stomach and then is transported to internal organs to play an important role. If there is a problem in any link in the process of water transportation and transformation, so that water is deposited, it is said that the moisture is heavy. Both traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine have their own views on the causes of heavy moisture in the body, which are nothing more than the following main factors.
Bad eating habits are a major cause of moisture accumulation in the body. Preference for greasy food will lead to heavy burden on the stomach and intestines, and greasy food will not be digested in time when it enters the digestive tract, which will lead to the water entering the gastrointestinal tract not being transported to various tissues and organs in time. In the long run, water will gather in the intestine, causing dampness, which is manifested as sticky stool and easy to stick to the toilet.
Secondly, there is a problem with the function of the spleen, and the transportation capacity of water control decreases, which will lead to the generation of moisture over time. Some people will exercise or work as soon as possible after eating, but at this time, the blood is participating in the digestion of the spleen and stomach, and it has been forcibly transferred before this "digestion work" is completed. Over time, the function of the spleen and stomach will get worse and worse, the water in the body can not be transported well, and the moisture will become heavier and heavier.
The influence of the environment will also lead to the increase of water in the body. For economic reasons, many people can only live in dark and damp houses such as dark basements for a long time. After a long time, the water in their bodies will definitely get heavier and heavier. The bad mood of frequent anger, depression and irritability will lead to poor blood gas operation of the body, damage to the liver, spleen and kidney, and easily lead to excessive moisture. Many people have too much water in their bodies due to genetic factors.
Blow the air conditioner for a long time. Air conditioning is a necessity for almost everyone in summer. Some people even turn on the air conditioner in winter as well as in summer. The existence of air conditioning does bring a lot of comfort to our life, but in summer, people sweat a lot. Sweating can help the body detoxify and promote metabolism. However, if the air conditioner is blown at this time, the sweat can't be discharged, and it can only stay in the body, and the moisture in the body stays at home.
Humidity is closely related to everything about water, including the water temperature when drinking water, when it is best to drink water in a day, how much water to drink is most beneficial to health, when to drink more water, when to drink less water and so on. , will have different effects on the body. Water is indispensable in our life, so it is very important to drink water correctly.
Water is the source of human life, the solvent for various chemical reactions in life, the medium and carrier for transporting nutrients to human body, the excretion of metabolic wastes, the regulation of body temperature through sweating, and the lubrication of joints and internal organs, which is very important to human life. There is a saying that water can cure all diseases. If you have nothing to do, drink more water. However, some people say that if you drink too much water, you will get wet. How should drinking water be good for your health?
To be sure, the correct drinking method will not cause heavy body moisture. Why the more water you drink, the heavier the moisture. The biggest possibility is that you drank something you shouldn't have, or you didn't develop the correct way of drinking water. Usually pay attention to drinking a small amount of water many times. If you drink too much or drink too much at one time, it is easy to cause moisture retention.
Drinking ice water has many disadvantages. A large intake of ice water will lead to poor qi and blood, cold body and even water retention in the body. Being in a cold state for a long time will not only cause stomach pain and dysmenorrhea in women, but also cause excessive moisture in the body. So whether it's winter or summer, don't covet temporary pleasure and drink iced drinks.
Don't drink ice water after exercise. Drinking ice water has a great influence on the body, which needs attention, especially for people who have just exercised. After exercise, the blood vessels in the body are dilated. At this time, the most important thing is to disperse the hot air out of the body and drink ice water, which is equivalent to forcibly contracting blood vessels and locking the hot air back into the body, which is very harmful to the body and makes the body not only cold but also wet. It is recommended to rest for half an hour after exercise, and it is advisable to drink warm water.
To master the correct principle of drinking water is to drink more, sip more and drink slowly. When you feel thirsty, your body is seriously short of water. You should develop the good habit of drinking water at ordinary times and drink a small amount of water regularly. Don't wait until you are thirsty. It takes time for your body to transport water. If you drink too much water and your body can't transport it well, it will easily lead to water retention and moisture formation.
Drinking too much water too quickly can easily burden the body, especially those who are not good for the kidneys. Drinking plenty of water will increase the load on the kidneys. Drinking warm water in the morning can promote blood circulation, and it is not advisable to drink more water at night. Water is very important for the operation of qi and blood. Drinking a cup of warm water in the morning can keep you healthy. After a night's sleep, the blood became sticky. A glass of water in the morning can reduce the viscosity of blood, promote blood circulation and help the body discharge excess waste and garbage.
It should be noted that during the day, the human body has a large amount of activity and a strong metabolism, which is suitable for supplementing more water. At night, the body is dormant and the metabolism slows down. If you are thirsty, you can supplement it in moderation, but you should not drink more, especially drinking plenty of water before going to bed, which not only increases the burden on your kidneys, but also affects your sleep.

2. Choose a house facing the sun to ensure the ventilation time every day. Often drying bedding can not only sterilize ultraviolet rays, but also make bedding warm and dry. In some areas, there will be a rainy season for some time. In the meantime, if the indoor humidity is high, you can use a dehumidifier to help reduce the ambient humidity, and remember to dry it with a heater before wearing clothes.
3. A balanced diet. The health of the gastrointestinal system is related to the metabolism of nutrition and water, and the best way is to have a balanced diet. Try not to eat greasy food, which is not only difficult to digest, but also easy to cause flatulence and inflammation. Cold food and ice products will make the absorption function of digestive tract stagnate and should not be eaten too much. Sweets and fried foods will produce peroxides in the body, which is not conducive to the normal operation of gastrointestinal function, and try to reduce the number of uses.
