Can sweating more remove moisture?

Sweating can remove moisture from the body, because moisture will be discharged along with sweat. Sweat is only a part of it, and it also contains toxic substances, so sweating can remove moisture. The most important way for us to remove moisture is through exercise. Exercise and sweating can not only remove toxins and moisture, but also exercise the body and improve the body's resistance. In addition to sweating, the body can remove moisture and toxins through urination and defecation.

Does sweating mean expelling moisture?

That’s part of the reason, but moisture is not entirely sweat, it also includes other components. It’s a comprehensive concept.

1. Exercise and sweating are good ways to remove moisture; especially in summer, do not turn on the air conditioner or fan, the sweat in the body must come out, otherwise your moisture will be too heavy and you will definitely get sick in winter.

2. Exercising moderately every day is very beneficial to your body. Exercise can relieve stress, activate the functioning of body organs, and accelerate the excretion of moisture from the body.

3. The process of sweating is to dissipate heat. If you sweat a lot, you will lose a lot of electrolytes, and moisture may not be discharged at this time. Sweat and Yin fluid have a certain beneficial effect on dampness, but dampness still exists in the body because of spleen deficiency. Therefore, we need to strengthen the spleen and eliminate dampness, increase the spleen's transportation and transformation function, and distribute water and grain to the whole body for reuse.

How to judge whether moisture is discharged

In fact, it mainly depends on whether a person’s spirit is very good. Many times, due to some physical reasons or too much moisture, a person’s spirit will be very bad.

1. Do you feel your face is oily? Your face tends to be oily no matter in winter or summer, and it feels greasy to the touch.

That means there is dampness in the body.

2. When I get up in the morning, I feel very dizzy, lack energy, and am too lazy to move. I feel wet. This is also a sign of dampness in the body.

3. After getting up and brushing teeth, I feel like vomiting to feel comfortable, and it feels like there is always something in my throat. It feels like a silky sensation, and even if there is spitting, it is only a little bit. Can't spit it out. This symptom also indicates that there is dampness in the body.

4. A healthy tongue is light pink and moist, with a thin, white and clear layer of tongue coating on the surface, with moderate dryness and wetness, neither slippery nor dry. If the tongue does not meet these indicators, it means that there is a problem with the body's functions. If the tongue coating is white and thick, and looks smooth and moist, it means that there is cold in the body; if the tongue coating is rough or very thick, yellow and greasy, it means that there is damp heat in the body; if the tongue is red and has no coating, it means that the body is already hot to a certain degree and has damaged the yin.

How to prevent moisture

1. If you don’t want moisture to enter your body, stay away from moisture. There is a lot of rain in summer and the environment tends to become humid. Therefore, try to reduce going out in cold weather. Try not to live in the basement (it's very humid) and don't sleep directly on the floor on hot days. The moisture content in the air will decrease and the floor will be very damp, which can easily invade the body and cause soreness in the limbs. It is best to sleep on a bed that is some distance from the floor.

2. In terms of diet, you can eat more foods that strengthen the spleen and promote diuresis. For example: Amaranth, winter melon, lentils, coix seed, mung bean, watermelon rind, etc. Amaranth stems are cool and sweet in taste. They are rich in calcium that is easily absorbed by the human body. They also have the effects of detoxifying and clearing heat, promoting urination, and replenishing blood and stopping bleeding. Lentils have the effects of nourishing and strengthening the body, replenishing the spleen and replenishing qi, relieving heat and dampness, and promoting diuresis and reducing swelling.

3. There is more rain in summer, and sometimes it is inevitable to get wet. When you get home, change your wet clothes immediately, take a hot bath, and then make yourself a bowl of ginger soup, as ginger can dispel the cold.
