Is sweating a way to remove moisture?

Dampness in the body is a common disease for many people. Long-term body dampness can cause obesity, some skin diseases, and easily lead to chronic diseases. Proper exercise and sweating can help expel moisture from the body, but sweating needs to be appropriate. Excessive sweating will damage the body and is not conducive to the removal of moisture from the body.

Can sweating remove moisture?

Proper exercise and sweating every day can speed up the excretion of moisture from the body. However, the more you sweat, the less beneficial it is for removing moisture. On the contrary, excessive sweating can harm your body.

The process of sweating is to dissipate heat. If you sweat a lot, you will lose a lot of electrolytes, which can easily lead to water and electrolyte imbalance. At this time, moisture may not be discharged. Moreover, sweating a lot during exercise will make people feel that they have exercised enough, but because of the excessive sweating, the body will lack water, which will harm health and will not have any effect.

Some people also exercise in hot environments, thinking that they can lose weight, but in fact they are just dehydrating themselves. Excessive sweating can also cause cramps and other sports injuries.

The best time to exercise is in the afternoon (14:00-16:00): It is a good time to strengthen physical strength, and the muscle endurance is 50% higher than other times.

At dusk (17:00-19:00), especially when the sun sets, the human body's motor ability reaches its peak, vision and hearing are more sensitive, and the heart rate and blood pressure also rise.

Dehumidification exercise method

Tip 1: The lazier you are, the more you need to exercise

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.

Tip 2: Eat a light and moderate diet

The gastrointestinal system is related to the metabolism of nutrients and water. The best way is to eat a moderate and balanced diet. Oily foods such as alcohol, milk, fatty and sweet foods are difficult to digest and can easily cause gastrointestinal bloating and inflammation. Sweets and fried foods will cause the body to produce peroxides, aggravating the inflammatory response.

Raw and cold food, ice cream or cold vegetables and fruits will cause the digestion and absorption function of the stomach and intestines to stagnate, and should not be consumed frequently, such as lettuce, salad, watermelon, cabbage, bitter gourd, etc. It is best to add onions and ginger when cooking to reduce the cold nature of the vegetables.

Tip 3: Avoid humidity in the environment

The generation of moisture in our body is not only due to our own metabolic problems, but also largely related to the environment. If you often stay in a humid, cold environment, it is easy for moisture to invade the body.

In daily life, we should pay attention to the following matters:

1. Don’t sleep directly on the floor. The floor is very damp and can easily invade the body, causing pain in the limbs.

2. Reduce going out on wet and rainy days.

3. Do not wear damp clothes, do not cover yourself with a damp blanket, and dry your body thoroughly and blow dry your hair after taking a shower.

4. If the humidity in the room is very high, it is recommended to open the windows more often for ventilation. If the humidity outside is also very high, you can also turn on fans and air conditioners to use these appliances to maintain air convection.

Tip 4: Cook barley porridge and yam soup

In fact, there are many foods we often eat that can help remove moisture from the body. For example, coix seed is sweet, mild and slightly cold in nature, and has the effects of diuresis and swelling, strengthening the spleen and removing dampness, relaxing muscles and removing numbness, clearing away heat and discharging pus; red beans are flat in nature, sweet and sour in taste, and have the effects of strengthening the spleen and stopping diarrhea, diuresis and swelling. Eating coix seed and red beans after cooking them in water can be diuretic, dehumidifying, and even have a beauty effect.
