Will the belly get bigger if there is too much moisture?

Dampness in the body is a problem that many people will encounter. Dampness is caused by long-term neglect of dietary regularity or long-term consumption of irritating or cold foods. Long-term severe dampness can easily lead to obesity and an enlarged belly. Dampness can easily lead to constipation, and body waste can accumulate in the intestines, thus causing an enlarged belly and excess belly fat.

Will the belly become bigger if there is too much moisture?

People with dampness are most likely to be obese. Chinese medicine cupping and scraping have certain effects in removing dampness and losing weight. If you want to completely get rid of your big belly, simply taking diet pills that excrete oil and promote bowel movements will definitely not work. You must start by removing the moisture from the body. Once the moisture is gone, your big belly will naturally deflate, and your pot-bellied waist, plate-shaped face, and thick arms will also get smaller.

How to prevent moisture

1. To deal with body dampness, you can choose to eat more foods that strengthen the spleen and promote diuresis, such as amaranth, lentils, winter melon, 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 qi, relieving heat and dampness, and promoting diuresis and reducing swelling.

2. If the humidity in the room is very heavy, it is recommended to keep the air circulating to let the air carry away the moisture. If the floor is wet, mop it immediately to prevent moisture from stagnating. If the humidity outside is also very high, you can turn on fans and air conditioners to use these appliances to maintain air convection.

3. Eat less sweet and greasy food. Don't eat foods that damage your spleen and stomach in such a humid environment. For example, cold dishes and cold drinks. People who like to eat sweets should also refrain from eating them because “sweetness can cause dampness”.

4. Avoid eating raw or cold food. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that raw and cold foods, ice cream or cool vegetables and fruits will stagnate the digestive and absorption functions of the stomach and intestines, and it is not advisable to eat them in unlimited quantities. For example, 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.

5. When washing your hair outside, never massage your wet hair after using shampoo, as this will allow moisture to enter the scalp (blow dry your hair before massaging). After taking a shower (hair), dry your body thoroughly.
