How can we tell if there is moisture in our bodies? To determine if you have received the five distress signals from your body:
1. I always feel heavy, my whole body is not fresh, and my legs seem to be filled with lead;
2. Full of oily luster and thick pores;
3. The tongue coating is very thick;
4. The stool is sticky and the toilet cannot be flushed clean;
5. Obesity and large belly.
These signals are all related to the characteristics of dampness. "Due to the heavy turbidity of dampness, after experiencing dampness, one may feel very heavy all over the body, as if bound by something, and not refreshed.". Due to the tendency of wetness to descend, it is easy to invade the lower part of the human body, so the weight of both legs is particularly significant. Wet and sticky, stagnation in the large intestine, then the stool is always very sticky.
Dampness evil has become the source or accomplice of most difficult and miscellaneous diseases and chronic diseases such as cardio cerebrovascular diseases and diabetes. The reason why people feel dampness and evil is closely related to their lifestyle, which is that the acquired cultivation destroys our physique:
The first is "illness enters through the mouth.". The dietary structure is not reasonable, resulting in excessive intake of high calorie foods, such as foreign fast food, fried food, sugary beverages, alcohol abuse, etc., and unreasonable distribution of three meals, resulting in a sumptuous dinner.
Second, there is a significant lack of physical activity. Sitting most of the day, sitting at a desk at work, and taking a car instead of walking after work. Many people often say, "I'm busy all day long, so I don't have time to exercise.". Little wonder that those who can't spare time for exercise have to spare time to see a doctor sooner or later.
The third is that people are increasingly estranged from nature. Especially in summer, the use of air conditioners is very detrimental to our health. Summer sweating is originally an important way to dissipate moisture, but once you enter an air-conditioned room, the sweat is collected, and the sweat that should be sweated out cannot be consumed. The body is bound to be filled with garbage and dampness. In addition, some young people feel that walking in the rain is a very romantic thing, and inadvertently dampness can invade.
How can we keep the body away from dampness? In recent years, as people's living standards have improved, there are many misconceptions about diet. They believe that daily consumption of large fish and meat is a sign of abundance. In fact, this is not in line with the Chinese constitution. Therefore, in order to prevent the evil of dampness, first of all, the diet structure should be based on cereals, with thick and thin matching, eat more vegetables, fruits and potatoes, and often drink job's tears and red beans Congee to strengthen the spleen and promote dampness; Secondly, the lazier the body, the more it needs to move, in order to eliminate dampness; Thirdly, don't stay in air-conditioned rooms for a long time in summer, and sweat moderately to provide a way out for dampness; Finally, avoid getting caught in rain and wading in water, and prevent evil dampness from taking advantage of the weak points to enter.
