What to eat to remove moisture from the body

In the summer, there is a lot of rainy weather, so the air will be relatively humid and stuffy. Many people like to stay in air-conditioned rooms at this time, and eat more cold drinks or cooler foods. Under such various reasons, it is easy to cause an increase in moisture in the body. When there is too much moisture in our body, we will suffer from some diseases. Now let’s talk about what to eat to dehumidify the body.

1. White Beans:

The first recommendation is the longevity bean and large white lentil. It is extremely effective in nourishing the spleen and removing dampness, but it is not easy to cook. You can use a pressure cooker to cook it, and soaking it in advance will make it easier to soften. In addition to being a dehumidifier, it is also a longevity bean, so it can be said to kill two birds with one stone! It is good to make porridge or honey white lentils. The method is generally very simple because it is a medicine and not just food.

2. Red Beans:

Red beans can replenish blood and also remove dampness. Drinking water boiled with red beans, or boiling water with black beans and mung beans, can effectively expel moisture from the body. Red beans can also be used to make bean paste, porridge, and desserts, but be careful not to buy adzuki beans, as they are medicinal and can cause poisoning if eaten too much. They are often easily confused with red beans.

3. Barley:

Good coix seeds have a medicinal taste, without any musty smell or hair. Job's tears can be cooked into porridge with red beans. It is just job's tears and red beans without adding rice. Drink the water and eat the beans. If you persist for a long time, you will see the effect. Alternatively, you can wash the coix seeds, dry them, and fry them in a pan, using an iron pan, just like you would fry sesame seeds. You can eat coix seed alone or grind it into powder if you have a grinder at home and drink it like sesame paste, which is better than cooking porridge.

4. Winter melon:

Winter melon is the best vegetable for dehumidifying, but it is cold in nature and not suitable for eating raw. It can be used to make soup. For example, winter melon and red bean soup and winter melon and kelp soup are delicious. Light soups with less salt and oil are the best for removing dampness. Remember not to use too heavy flavors.

5. Corn silk leaves:

Pick clean corn silks and corn leaves and boil them in water. Boil them for a while and then drink the water. However, it is best not to drink it before going to bed, because the diuretic effect can easily continue in the body while sleeping, resulting in the dampness not being removed but becoming more serious. When corn is harvested in the fall, you can get some silk leaves and dry them for drinking for a year, so you don't have to worry about not getting them when there is no corn.

6. Watermelon:

My favorite fruit in summer, it has great diuretic and dehumidifying effects! However, it is difficult to buy delicious watermelons nowadays, and eating them will always give you diarrhea, so you have to be careful when choosing watermelons. If you can buy watermelons in the countryside, you can buy big watermelons grown by farmers themselves. They are very sweet and delicious, and the sweetness is really different from the ones you buy outside. After eating the watermelon, don’t forget to eat the green crispy skin inside! Cut into strips and marinate to mix with cold dishes, or stir-fry with meat. Watermelon can be used to dehumidify two things! In summer, you can eat watermelon instead of ice cream. It is also refreshing to squeeze juice after cooling it down. In addition, the sugar content of watermelon is almost zero, so you don’t have to worry about gaining weight.
