How to regulate excessive sweating through diet

First of all, people who sweat a lot should eat some foods that can replenish the body's water, and eat more foods that nourish yin, clear heat and promote body fluid, such as lotus seeds, lilies, American ginseng (American ginseng), pseudostellaria, adenophora, polygonatum, ophiopogon, dendrobium, white fungus, snow pear, etc. At the same time, after the summer, the liver qi of the human body gradually weakens and the heart qi gradually strengthens. Sourness enters the liver and bitterness enters the heart. Therefore, it is advisable to adopt the dietary principle of increasing sourness and reducing bitterness. You can eat more sour foods, such as tomatoes, lemons, black plums, grapes, hawthorn, pineapple, mango, kiwi, etc. The acidic astringent property can prevent excessive sweating from consuming qi and damaging yin, and it can also produce body fluids, quench thirst, and strengthen the stomach and aid digestion.
