What can you eat to strengthen your spleen and stomach and eliminate dampness?

If you drink too much cold water, you will experience abdominal distension and diarrhea, which is caused by excessive moisture in the body. Many people do not know whether they have diseases caused by excessive dampness in their bodies. Next, you can learn how to identify whether you have dampness, and you can also learn how to use medicine and food in combination with rest to adjust your body. People with heavier dampness will feel heavy in their bodies, and they will feel much better after being cured.

How to determine if you have dampness:

1. How you feel when you get up. If you feel dizzy, lack energy, or feel like you are wearing wet clothes, are not refreshed all over, and are too lazy to move, then you can be sure that there is dampness in your body.

2. Look at your stool when you go to the toilet. You can observe your stool. Is it stuck to the toilet and takes a long time to flush clean? You can also observe the toilet paper. Normally, one or two pieces of paper are enough. If three or five pieces of paper cannot be wiped clean after repeated wiping, it also means that there is dampness in the body. The color and shape of the stool can also help determine whether there is dampness in the body. Normal stools are golden yellow and banana-shaped, but few people have this healthy stool nowadays.

3. Look at the tongue coating when washing. A healthy tongue is light red and moist, with a layer of tongue coating on the surface of the tongue, which is thin, white and clear, with moderate dryness and wetness, and is neither slippery nor dry. If the tongue does not meet these indicators, it means that there is a problem with the body's functions.

4. Vomiting and nausea when brushing your teeth, and a sticky and unclean feeling in your throat are all symptoms of dampness. Frequently feeling soreness and heaviness in the calves are also symptoms of dampness. A runny nose while eating is also a symptom of dampness.

Causes of moisture:

Dampness is generally caused by external moisture invading the body to produce internal dampness, such as often getting caught in the rain, wearing wet clothes, wearing too few clothes when it is too cold, etc. At the same time, improper diet may also produce internal dampness, for example, eating popsicles in the summer will damage the spleen and affect the discharge of water in the body. Excess water stagnates in the body and forms dampness.
