1, summer dehumidification method
The first trick to get rid of dampness: adjust your life schedule.
People with excessive moisture will feel dizzy in the morning, and their legs, feet and stomachaches. When defecating, the stool will be blocked and easily stick to the toilet, and the color and taste of urine will be particularly heavy. It's all because damp evil enters the body.
People with spleen deficiency will have a thick tongue coating, no serrated teeth marks on both sides of the tongue, and a fat tongue. Sometimes chewing or talking will accidentally bite your tongue, indicating spleen deficiency and damp heat.
The best way to deal with the above problems is to adjust the diet structure and life schedule. Get enough sleep every day, at least 7 hours, and give your body a process of self-repair. In addition, when the above situation occurs, we should pay attention to a light diet and eat less cold or fried food.
The second measure of eliminating dampness: standing on a healthy pile.
Standing on a healthy stump is the simplest and safest way to adjust your body and mind. It can fundamentally eliminate various physical and mental problems caused by yang deficiency, such as invigorating the spleen and eliminating dampness.
Method:
1. Keep your feet shoulder width, put your hands on your chest, hold the ball, bend your legs at the same time, keep your knees above your toes, and relax.
2. When standing on the health pile, you can meditate in your heart. When you feel numb in your palm, raise or lower your arm. If it is raised, it is not an eyebrow; if it is lowered, it is not a navel. Both hands can adjust the position left and right.
Note: the piling time should not be too long, but should be gradual. Novices can stand for 10 minutes, and then the time can be gradually extended.
The third measure of eliminating dampness: massage and drainage, far better than sauna.
The sultry weather in Lingnan often makes people sweat, which is jokingly called free sauna. Professional sauna is a way for lazy people to drain water. This passive sweating method is not suitable for hot summer, especially for frequent use. Excessive sweating due to the weather also belongs to human body's natural perspiration, but in the process of professional sauna, excessive sweating is not conducive to heart health, although it can speed up blood circulation and eliminate moisture in the body. Taking a hot bath and a little massage is a healthier way 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. After exercise, taking a bath with warm water close to body temperature after drying the sweat can also play a certain drainage role.
The fourth measure of eliminating dampness: let it cool after cooking.
In the past, there were three steps in cooking: boiling, filtering and steaming. But now, people have rice cookers, which saves many steps, but in terms of health care, these missing steps are actually very important to human health. Rice lives in water, and it carries water. If you cook with a rice cooker, there will be more water. When rice with moisture enters the stomach, it will increase the difficulty of spleen and stomach transportation, and moisture staying in the human body will bring endless harm.
Therefore, when cooking, open the pot cover after the rice is cooked, let the rice breathe, cool it a little, and then eat it after the water dissipates. If you can, don't eat rice every day. You can eat rice and pasta alternately, which can reduce the accumulation of water.
The fifth measure of eliminating dampness: take a proper nap to make your body lighter.
Many office workers hardly take a nap because of their work. As we all know, a good nap can make our bodies lighter and have more energy to work in the afternoon. Overwork is easy to consume qi and blood, and deficiency of qi and blood will further aggravate the stagnation of water and dampness. In summer, the days are long and the nights are short. Some white-collar workers often work overtime at night. People who don't work overtime also eat midnight snack, have proper entertainment and prolong nightlife. Therefore, sleep time at night is often insufficient, and taking a nap is even more important. Special attention should be paid to the combination of work and rest.
The sixth measure of eliminating dampness: less salt to help kidney drain.
Less salt should be used to drain water. This trick is only for people who do strenuous exercise or engage in manual labor in summer. White-collar workers who sweat less are not suitable. The salt ingested by the human body is mainly excreted through the kidneys. When too much salt is ingested or the kidney is diseased, the excessive sodium ingested in the body cannot be excreted in time. When the concentration of sodium ion in blood increases, more water enters blood vessels, which is easy to produce edema. If there is no obvious excessive sweating, you should eat a low-salt diet in summer. Among them, the salt intake of middle-aged and elderly people should be less than that of ordinary people, and the salt intake of patients with kidney disease should be strictly controlled.
