2. Reasons for heavy moisture in the body in autumn

2.1. “Diseases come from the mouth”. The diet structure is unreasonable, too much high-calorie food is consumed, such as fast food, fried food, sugary drinks, alcoholism, etc., and the distribution of three meals is unreasonable, and dinner is too rich.

2.2. Physical activity is obviously insufficient. The patient sits for most of the day, sitting at a desk at work and commuting by car after get off work. Many people often say, "I am busy all day long, so I don't have time to exercise." Little do people know that those who cannot spare time for exercise will sooner or later have to make time to see a doctor.

2.3. People are becoming increasingly alienated from nature, especially the use of air conditioning in summer, which is very harmful to our health. Sweating in summer is an important way to dissipate moisture, but once you enter the air-conditioned room, the sweat is retained. The sweat that should be released cannot be released, and the moisture that should be consumed cannot be consumed. As a result, the body is bound to be filled with garbage and dampness. In addition, some young people think that walking in the rain is a very romantic thing, but dampness may invade inadvertently.
