In the past, it was widely believed that excessive intake of meaty substances, or living in a humid place for a long time, would lead to the accumulation of dampness in the body, and would also induce various uncomfortable symptoms.
From the perspective of modern medicine, dampness may refer to a series of chronic diseases caused by lipid stasis and poor metabolism. In daily life, most of the women with excessive dampness in the body will send out 3 signals, and doing two things can help dispel dampness.
1. Manifestations of heavy dampness in women
1. Oily skin and frequent breakouts
As mentioned above, friends who consume too much oil in a short period of time are more likely to become targets for moisture invasion, and the damage caused by lipid stasis to the skin should not be underestimated. As we all know, the metabolism of oil is often inseparable from the bile secreted by the liver and gallbladder, and if the intake exceeds a certain level, then too many lipid particles will reach the thin skin areas such as the facial skin through the blood circulation, and promote the sebaceous glands to secrete oil, and eventually form acne.
2. Puffy body
Excessive moisture may also affect the body's water metabolism, resulting in edema at the ends of the limbs, and the most common swelling is in the fingers, calves, face, and eyelids. In addition, the accumulation of moisture in the body can also bring significant resistance to the patient's physical activities, so women who often feel physically and mentally tired in their lives should also pay attention to whether it is related to excessive moisture.
3. Poor bowel movements
Female friends with heavy moisture may also have "unspeakable secrets" in defecation, including but not limited to sticky stool, incomplete bowel movements, frequent diarrhea, etc. Because under the influence of moisture, the gastrointestinal digestive system of the human body may have to bear too much pressure, and due to the high proportion of lipid particles, the feces formed will also become more viscous, which will eventually increase the viscosity of the relics and bring discomfort to the body.
Second, the daily means of dampness
1. Drink water to get rid of dampness
Drinking water is one of the easiest and most convenient ways to maintain health, and maintaining adequate water intake can not only increase the basal metabolic rate, but also speed up the breakdown process of nutrients such as lipids and sugars, which in turn makes the body feel lighter.
Friends in need can also add some diuretic ingredients to the daily drinking water to further improve the efficiency of dampness removal by promoting water metabolism, which is also beneficial to the stability of liver and kidney function.
2. Adjust your diet
Women with excessive moisture can also improve their diet, such as actively limiting their intake of fatty foods, or it may be a good place to start. In your daily diet, you may wish to increase the proportion of fresh fruits, vegetables and grains, and reduce the proportion of fatty meat and fat, so as to transfer the body's demand for fat to nuts and dairy products, which may be a good way to improve the dampness in the body.
3. Use dampness medicine
If the dampness is too heavy, you can also use food and medicine homologous dampness products, which can also help to remove dampness, such as soaking red adzuki beans, barley, tangerine peel, seeds, gardenias and other traditional Chinese medicines in water instead of tea or porridge in life, which is conducive to removing dampness and making people light without dampness.
