Most people with heavy moisture in their bodies tend to eat greasy food and lack exercise. These people often feel heavy and weak in their limbs and are unwilling to move. However, the less they like to exercise, the more moisture accumulates in their bodies. Over time, the moisture will inevitably attack the spleen and cause a series of diseases.

Exercise can relieve stress, promote the functioning of body organs, and accelerate the excretion of moisture from the body. Exercises such as running, walking, swimming, yoga, and Tai Chi help activate blood circulation and increase water metabolism.
