When the rain comes in spring, the humidity will also increase, and the sources of moisture can be divided into two types: "internal humidity" and "external humidity".
"Internal dampness" refers to the impaired function of the spleen and stomach, resulting in abnormal water moisture transport and distribution, and moisture accumulation in the body.
"External dampness" refers to living in a humid environment for a long time, resulting in heavy body moisture.
So, what does the body perform when the moisture is too heavy? How can we prevent moisture and remove dampness?
2 physical manifestations of wetness
A major feature of moisture is heavy turbidity.
So when there is too much moisture in the body, we will feel that our heads are as heavy as wrapped in heavy objects, our legs and feet are not conducive to ropes, and we will feel very tired when we move around a little.
Even if you get enough sleep, you can feel refreshed.
When you encounter this situation, don't lie down anymore, get up and exercise to remove dampness, and only if there is no moisture will be light.
Moisture has the characteristic of stickiness, so when there is too much moisture in the body, we will feel it.
In short, when we feel that our whole body is sticky, in addition to washing frequently, we should not forget to remove dampness.
4 habits to prevent moisture
There is a lot of rain in spring, so be sure to change your clothes in time after going out to get rainy to avoid getting cold.
Shoes that get wet on rainy days need to be dried before wearing, otherwise it is easy to have skin discomfort symptoms such as eczema.
Excessive consumption of raw and cold food, excessive consumption of fatty and greasy products, excessive drinking, etc. are easy to damage the spleen and stomach, the spleen and stomach are injured, water moisture is not conducive to transportation, moisture is easy to accumulate in the body, causing physical discomfort.
Therefore, we should not eat too much raw and cold food at one time for the sake of cold greed, do not overeat, and do not drink too much.
Long-term living in a dark and humid environment can easily aggravate the moisture in the body.
In this environment, we can buy a dehumidifier to keep the environment dry, and we should also be careful not to put too many flowers and plants in pots.
Exercise helps promote the circulation of qi and blood, just as clothes dry easily when there is wind, and qi travels with water.
At the same time, slight sweating after exercise can speed up metabolism and promote the expulsion of moisture.
