Eating habits are an important factor in the production of moisture. The following foods may cause heavy moisture:
Raw and cold food: Raw and cold food can easily directly damage the yang qi of the spleen and stomach, resulting in the inability of the spleen qi to transport water and dampness. These foods include cold drinks such as ice cream, ice cream, and iced sodas, as well as cold fruits such as watermelon, apples, bananas, persimmons, and pears. In addition, vegetables such as cucumbers, tomatoes, green vegetables, mung beans, and bitter gourd, as well as cold aquatic products such as crabs, prawns, snails, and skin shrimp also have the characteristics of raw cold and cold, and eating a large amount of them may cause damage to the spleen and yang and cause dampness.
Foods high in sugar: Traditional Chinese medicine says that "sweet helps dampness", so you should try to avoid eating melons, fruits, potatoes, honey and other foods with high sugar content.
Frying, grilling food: Although this kind of food is delicious, it is not easy to digest, and eating it is easy to increase the burden on the spleen and stomach, which may lead to aggravation of moisture.
Spicy food: Eating too much spicy food will generate internal heat, and heat evil often "messes up" with damp evil, making people easy to get sick.
Herbal tea: Drinking herbal tea every day may damage the spleen and stomach, causing the dampness to become heavier and heavier.
In addition to dietary habits, the causes of moisture may also include factors such as living environment and personal physique. Therefore, in addition to paying attention to diet, it is also necessary to pay attention to keeping the living environment dry, avoiding being in a high humidity environment for a long time, enhancing the function of the spleen and stomach, and exercising appropriately. If you already have symptoms of dampness, it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible and follow your doctor's instructions**.
