"Wind, cold, heat, dampness, dryness and fire" are the six pathogenic evil Qi, and the dampness evil is the most destructive. Incorrect living habits will also allow moisture to enter and endanger health. The following is my summary of the causes of moisture. You are welcome to read it.
Not enough sleep will attract moisture
From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, not enough sleep is the symptom of spleen deficiency. A good sleep can also make our body lighter. It is recommended to go to bed before 11 pm every day. Adding some exercise every day will improve your sleep quality.
Heavy taste will attract moisture
Gastrointestinal function is related to nutrition and water metabolism. The best way is an appropriate and balanced diet. Greasy, salty, too sweet and other fat and sweet foods are not easy to digest, which is easy to cause flatulence and inflammation of the intestines and stomach. Desserts and fried foods will make the body produce peroxide and aggravate the inflammatory reaction.
Love to eat cold will attract moisture
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that raw and cold food, ice cream or cold fruits and vegetables will stagnate the digestive and absorption function of intestines and stomach and create opportunities for external pathogens to invade. Therefore, it is not easy to eat too much. When cooking, it is best to add onion and ginger to weaken the cold nature of vegetables.
A big drink will attract moisture
This is the key factor to aggravate "dampness toxin". From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, wine helps dampness evil. Therefore, alcohol should be touched as little as possible, and we can't drown our worries with alcohol.
Less exercise will attract moisture
People who exercise less often have heavy body, weak limbs and other wet performance. The more you don't like exercise, the more moisture you accumulate in your body. Over time, you may have diseases. Proper exercise, such as running, walking and swimming, can promote the coordinated operation of body organs and accelerate "moisture removal".
Sitting all the time brings moisture
Sedentary will lead to insufficient blood supply to the brain, reduce the oxygen supply and nutrients to the brain, aggravate fatigue, insomnia, memory loss, etc., and cause muscle pain, neck stiffness, headache and dizziness.
