Feeling tired is mostly due to high humidity.

If you feel tired and have symptoms such as loss of appetite, loose stool and thick white tongue coating, we can think that your body is wet.

"Wet weight" is very simple, that is, there is more water in the body. For example, a fat and swollen person may be wet. Wet is a "visible evil", which has the characteristics of heavy, dirty and sticky. Wet is the performance of falling, often manifested as edema of the feet. Everywhere I go, I want to find a place to sit down and lie down, and I easily fall asleep. No problems were found during the physical examination. These are all signs of heavy humidity.

Why is the humidity high? There are two possibilities: first, it is wet outside, and now it has passed the long summer and the small fullness, and then it is rainy season, with more rain and humid air, so it is wet outside; The second is internal dampness, which is caused by spleen deficiency in the body. You can get rid of the moisture in your body by regulating the spleen and eliminating dampness, so you won't feel tired.

Expertise in eliminating dampness

1 trick: the lazier you are, the more you should exercise.

Most people with heavy body moisture are people who eat greasy food and lack exercise. These people often feel heavy, weak and unwilling to move, but the less they like sports, the more water they accumulate in their bodies. Over time, it will inevitably lead to the invasion of moisture into the spleen and trigger a series of diseases.

Exercise can relieve stress, promote the operation of body organs and accelerate the excretion of water. Running, walking, swimming, yoga, Tai Chi and other sports help to activate blood circulation and increase water metabolism.

The second measure: light and moderate diet.

The gastrointestinal system is related to nutrition and water metabolism, and the best way is a moderately balanced diet. Oily foods such as wine, milk, fat meat and thick taste are not easy to digest, which is easy to cause bloating and inflammation. Sweets and fried products will make the body produce peroxide, which will aggravate the inflammatory reaction.

Cold food, frozen products or cool fruits and vegetables will make the digestion and absorption function of the stomach stagnate, so it is not advisable to eat them often, such as lettuce, salad, watermelon, Chinese cabbage and bitter gourd. It is best to add onions and ginger when cooking to reduce the coldness of vegetables.

Step 3: Avoid moisture in the environment.

In addition to the problem of self-metabolism, a large part of the water produced in our body is related to the environment. Often in a humid and cold environment, it is easy to cause moisture to invade the body.

Pay attention to the following items in daily life:

1. Don't sleep directly on the floor. The floor is wet and easy to invade the body, causing limb pain.

2. Reduce going out in rainy days.

Don't wear wet clothes, don't cover the quilt, and dry your body and hair after taking a shower.

4. If the indoor humidity is high, it is recommended to open more windows for ventilation. If the external humidity is also high, you can also turn on the fan and air conditioner to keep air convection with these appliances.

Step 4: Use onions, ginger and garlic skillfully.

Onion, ginger and garlic are not only common condiments at home, but also have irreplaceable medicinal value. For example, we can try to cook a bowl of hot ginger soup at home, and use the wonderful effect of ginger soup to force the water out of the body. After sweating all over, the symptoms will be relieved.
