What are the hazards of moisture to the human body

Nowadays people's physical health is getting worse and worse, and many young people are in sub-health status. This is directly related to many habits in life, such as eating a lot of cold drinks in summer, using air conditioners for a long time, taking cold showers, etc., often staying up late, drinking and eating spicy food. These are harmful to the body to a certain extent, and will increase the moisture in the body without noticing. Moisture has a great impact on our physical health. Although moisture is invisible, it has many effects on the body. Now let's talk about the harm of moisture to the human body.

1. Injury to joints

When moisture enters the joints and meets "cold", it forms cold and dampness, which is an important cause of inflammation and joint pain.

2. Leucorrhea

Too much moisture in the body can easily lead to spleen deficiency, causing moisture to flow downward, resulting in women having excessive vaginal discharge, vaginal discharge with an odor, etc. In severe cases, it can also lead to inflammation.

3. Irregular menstruation

Women who often live in a humid environment or whose bodies are often exposed to moisture will have poorer physical constitutions. They will experience symptoms such as fatigue in the limbs, low-grade fever, scanty menstruation, and dysmenorrhea before and after menstruation.

4. Vaginitis

In addition to being related to the source of infection, vaginitis is also related to moisture in the body. For people with damp-heat constitution or who like to eat spicy and greasy food, it is easy to cause the internal environment to be hot and humid, which may induce vaginitis or cause recurrence of vaginitis. To treat this type of people, we must first remove dampness from the body.

5. Obesity + edema

When moisture enters the subcutaneous tissue, it will affect the metabolism of skin cells, reduce fat burning efficiency, and thus lead to obesity. Too much moisture retained in the body will increase the burden on the spleen to transport and transform moisture, just like an overloaded carriage. Sometimes it will even affect the diuretic function of the kidneys and in severe cases may lead to systemic edema.

6. Affect excretion

Excessive moisture can cause "moisture sticking to the intestines", increasing the frequency of bowel movements and a feeling of incomplete defecation. Traditional Chinese medicine says that "dampness is like a wrap". Heavy dampness will affect the permeability between cells, just like a wet quilt covering your body, which will often make you feel heavy-headed and listless.
