Eliminating dampness is a necessity for Cantonese people, and it is also a necessity for them to maintain their own health every day. However, even experienced Guangdong natives can't achieve good dehumidification effect through various methods when hot and humid weather comes.

In fact, there are some common foods in life that can help us get rid of dampness. For example, these three foods are called natural "wet kings"! Eating regularly can help us replenish deficiency and qi, expel dampness and toxin from the body, and also have a good effect on getting rid of the big belly. What kind are they?

1. coix seed

Coix seed, also called common Coix seed in the supermarket, is a dual-purpose food for medicine and food. Coix seed itself has a good effect of eliminating dampness and promoting diuresis, especially for some obese people with edema. If you want to lose belly fat, eating more coix seed really has a good effect, and it is often used to make porridge or water or soup.

Of course, Cantonese people like to make sugar water with coix seed. As long as there is not much sugar, it is no problem to eat more, because too much sugar will aggravate the symptoms of spleen deficiency, affect the transport of spleen and stomach, and make the body more humid.

2. adzuki bean

Red beans and barley are a good match. The so-called "golden partner" for eliminating dampness refers to coix seed and red beans, and they all perform very well in eliminating dampness.

Red beans have a wide range of uses, and you can often see them on the table or at food stalls. Eating more red beans can also help us to supplement the situation of qi deficiency, thus improving the situation of dampness aggravated by spleen deficiency.

3. Chinese yam

The efficacy of yam in eliminating dampness is mainly reflected in helping us replenish spleen and lung, especially for some people with spleen deficiency and malabsorption. If the spleen deficiency is improved well, the moisture in the body can naturally be eliminated well.

Of course, in addition to the above three common medicinal and edible homologous ingredients, people often use some local medicinal materials to help eliminate dampness, such as common five-finger peach, houttuynia cordata and kapok, which are all very good choices.
