Generally speaking, the northern region is far away from the sea and has a cooler climate, so it is very dry with little rain all year round. In the southern part of my country, because of the heavy rainfall and proximity to the sea, there are a lot of people suffering from heavy humidity. After all, many people have to live in a humid environment for a long time. So the question is, what are the effects of heavy moisture on the body? Four major effects of heavy humidity 1. Obesity and edema When moisture enters the subcutaneous tissue, it will affect the metabolism of skin cells, reduce fat burning efficiency, and thus lead to obesity. Too much moisture retained in the body will increase the burden on the spleen to transport and transform moisture, just like an overloaded carriage. Sometimes it will even affect the diuretic function of the kidneys and in severe cases may lead to systemic edema. 2. Oily skin, hot temper, and acne prone There are two main reasons why people get acne: one is external factors; the other is internal environmental factors. External factors generally only play a role in preventing acne, while the internal environment is the determining factor for acne. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, acne occurs because the body becomes more oily. The viscosity of the oil inhibits the excretion of internal heat, which causes heat to accumulate in the body, thus inducing acne. If the skin is too oily, it is what we call "heavy moisture". 3. Injury to joints When moisture enters the joints and meets "cold", it forms cold and dampness, which is an important cause of inflammation and joint pain. 4. Affect excretion Excessive moisture can cause "moisture sticking to the intestines", increasing the frequency of bowel movements and a feeling of incomplete defecation. Traditional Chinese medicine says that "dampness is like a wrap". Heavy dampness will affect the permeability between cells, just like a wet quilt covering your body, which will often make you feel heavy-headed and listless. Experts give advice on how to “eat” away moisture in the body As the saying goes, medicine and food have the same origin, and food supplements are worse than medicine. The concepts of food nourishment, food supplements, and food therapy are all very scientific. Modern people have great mental stress, weak heart qi, irregular diet, little exercise, and spleen deficiency and dampness. Therefore, in terms of health preservation, they must not only remove dampness, but also nourish the heart and the spleen and stomach. The best choice is coix seed and red beans. |
