What to do if pregnant women have heavy moisture

What should I do if there is too much moisture in my body? How can I get rid of the moisture in my body? There is an old saying: It is easy to get rid of a thousand kinds of cold, but it is difficult to get rid of one kind of moisture. It is wet and sticky, like oil in flour. When dampness and cold are together, it is called cold-dampness; when dampness and heat are together, it is called damp-heat; when dampness and wind are together, it is called rheumatism; and when dampness and heat are together, it is called summer-dampness. What should pregnant women do if they have heavy moisture?

1. Diet therapy to remove dampness

If there is a lot of moisture in the body, you can eat some foods that can remove moisture, such as red bean porridge, lily and lotus seed soup, jujube, white fungus and lotus seed soup, ginger soup, onions, garlic, etc.

Drink more heat-clearing and dampness-removing soup:

Using appropriate amounts of wild yam, tuckahoe, red bean, tangerine peel, and add lean meat or pork bones to make soup can effectively clear away heat and remove dampness. This is a traditional dehumidifying soup in Guangdong and is suitable for drinking in summer.

Eat less salt and strengthen your spleen:

Friends who like to eat food with strong flavors are often more likely to get dampness, because strong flavors will increase the burden on the spleen and stomach. Everyone should eat less salty food and more liquid and whole grain food.

Note:

Job's tears is a good remedy for removing dampness, but it will make the body cold and weak, and it is not suitable for long-term consumption by people with a weak and cold constitution, so pregnant women and women who are menstruating should avoid eating it.

In addition, avoid eating raw and cold foods such as watermelon, cabbage, bitter gourd, etc.

2. Exercise more

The best way to eliminate moisture from the body is through exercise. Sweating during exercise can not only detoxify, but also effectively eliminate excess moisture, and help promote blood circulation and metabolism. Proper exercise and sweating can help remove moisture, and going out in the sun more often is beneficial to the development of the fetus.

Steaming sweat:

Steaming can be divided into wet steaming and dry steaming. It can promote the excretion of toxins from the body. It is an activity that can "detoxify" while sitting. It is more suitable for friends who are not very willing to move, and it can also effectively expel moisture from the body.

3. Pay attention to sleep

Pregnant women with heavy dampness must get enough sleep to ensure that the body has sufficient resistance and the dampness can be effectively relieved. Drinking a glass of milk before going to bed can help pregnant women sleep.

4. Seek medical attention promptly

Due to the special physical condition of pregnant women, foods such as coix seed should be eaten with caution. If the dampness is severe, you should seek medical attention in time and take medication under the guidance of a doctor.
