In particular, some greasy and difficult to digest sweets, fried foods, sweets, etc. may cause the body to produce more peroxides and aggravate the symptoms of dampness and toxicity. In addition, some raw, cold or icy foods will also affect the absorption of the human body's digestive function, thereby aggravating dampness and toxicity. Therefore, it is recommended to pay attention to a light diet in daily life and try to reduce the intake of cold foods. If you want to eat cold foods, it is recommended to add warm foods such as peppers and ginger during the cooking process.

3. Avoid humid environments

Studies have found that spring and summer are the peak seasons for dampness to enter the body. The main reason for this is because of the higher humidity during these seasons. Therefore, Chinese medicine believes that dampness and toxins are caused by problems with one's own metabolism and are closely related to the daily living environment. For example, some cold and humid environments will allow moisture to enter the body, so you should try to avoid living in these environments. For example, don't live in the basement, open the windows actively, don't set the air humidity too high when using the air conditioner, don't sleep on the floor, etc.

Usually you should avoid getting wet in the rain, especially in winter when there is snow or frost, you should pay more attention to keeping warm.

3. Dehumidifying Foods You Can’t Miss

1. White lentils

The first recommendation is the large white lentil, which is known as the "longevity bean". White lentils are slightly warm in nature, sweet in taste, and rich in nutrients: in addition to carbohydrates, every 100 grams contains 28 grams of protein, 116 milligrams of calcium, and a variety of other nutrients.

It is mainly used to treat spleen deficiency diarrhea, nausea and vomiting, loss of appetite, and red and white vaginal discharge.

White lentils are ideal for nourishing the spleen and removing dampness, but they are not easy to cook. You can use a pressure cooker to cook them, and soaking them in advance will make them easier to soften.

2. Barley

Job's tears have the effects of diuresis and swelling, strengthening the spleen and removing dampness, relaxing muscles and removing arthralgia, clearing away heat and discharging pus.

Alternatively, you can wash the coix seeds, dry them, and fry them in a pan, dry-frying them in an iron pan just like you would fry sesame seeds.
