Some people say, how does yam get rid of dampness? This is a very one-sided statement. Although yam can't directly eliminate moisture in the body like coix seed, it indirectly eliminates moisture in the body by regulating the function of spleen and stomach.
Amylase, polyphenol oxidase and other substances in yam can nourish the spleen and stomach, while the spleen governs transport and transformation, and the water and garbage toxins in the human body are excreted through the transport and transformation function of the spleen. Therefore, yam can regulate the spleen and stomach, strengthen the transport function of spleen, and help the body discharge moisture and toxins.
In addition, yam is low in calories, high in nutrition and rich in crude fiber, which is easy to increase people's satiety after eating, thus achieving the effect of slimming and beautifying.
Second, pepper.
Chinese medicine believes that: Chili is pungent, warm in nature, and enters the heart, spleen and stomach meridians. "Can stimulate appetite and digestion, dispel cold and remove dampness, promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, guide stagnation, and accelerate large intestine ..."
The peppers mentioned here can stimulate appetite and help digestion. Many people have this experience. When eating, if you order Chili, you will feel particularly delicious. When there is no appetite, there will be more saliva secretion. If you are full, eat some Chili and your stomach will be comfortable soon.
At the end of the Qing Dynasty, it was recorded in Qing Notes that "people in Yunnan, Guizhou, Hunan, Sichuan and other places like to eat spicy food" and "peppers and mustard are not put in soup". It is said that people in Yunnan, Guizhou, Hunan and Sichuan mainly eat spicy food, which has a lot to do with their geographical environment.
There are many and wide waters and rainy days in these places, which leads to large environmental temperature difference and high humidity. In the natural environment, moisture is easy to accumulate in the body. Eating spicy food can speed up blood circulation, open pores and sweat through the back. Unconsciously, the moisture in the body is eliminated.
Therefore, no matter where we are, we can eat some peppers or green peppers reasonably at ordinary times, which can help the body get rid of dampness.
Third, red bean barley porridge
Red bean coix seed is known as the "king of dampness", which shows that this diet can dispel dampness. Naturally, I don't need to go into details. Just pay attention to a few points. First, the red beans mentioned here should be exactly "red beans", which are different from red beans in shape and efficacy.
The second word is that coix seed itself is cold, and people with weak spleen and stomach can't eat more. We'd better fry the barley before cooking the red bean and barley porridge. Stir-frying can not only remove the coldness of coix seed, but also have a better effect of eliminating dampness.
Fourth, drink tea.
Many people may ask: Why can you get rid of dampness by drinking tea? In fact, the reason is very simple, because drinking tea can induce diuresis, which is beneficial to eliminating dampness.
However, what kind of tea to drink is also a little particular. The most common thing in life is green tea, but green tea itself is cool, and many people with heavy moisture have bad stomachs. Drinking too much green tea will also hurt the spleen and stomach, not only wet, but also worse.
So what if the spleen and stomach are not good? You can choose oolong tea to drink. Oolong tea is warm, which can nourish the stomach, help promote qi circulation and eliminate dampness.
Verb (abbreviation of verb) corn
Corn has always been called longevity food. It is not only delicious, but also highly praised by experts at home and abroad for its nutritional value. The nutrition is very comprehensive, and it is rich in protein, fat, vitamins, trace elements and cellulose.
Corn is coarse grains and contains a lot of cellulose, which has the functions of stimulating gastrointestinal peristalsis, accelerating fecal excretion and accelerating intestinal endotoxin excretion, and is helpful to prevent and treat constipation, enteritis, intestinal cancer and other diseases. Corn stigma is sweet, light and flat, which can calm the liver and promote gallbladder, reduce swelling and promote diuresis, and help to relieve edema, hypertension, dysuria and other symptoms.
In addition, there is an easily overlooked treasure in corn, that is, corn stigma, which is very powerful. If the corn stigma is boiled into soup, it has the effect of cooling the blood serum, removing the moisture in the body and appetizing? It's also a diet drink.
