1, how to expel moisture from the body
1, a proper combination of rest and rest after a nap.
Many office workers hardly take a nap because of their work. As we all know, a good nap can make our bodies lighter and have more energy to work in the afternoon. Overwork is easy to consume qi and blood, and deficiency of qi and blood will further aggravate the stagnation of water and dampness. At this time, the days are still long and the nights are short. Some white-collar workers often work overtime at night. People who don't work overtime will also eat midnight snack, have proper entertainment and prolong nightlife. Therefore, sleep time at night is often insufficient, and taking a nap is even more important. Special attention should be paid to the combination of work and rest.
2, back scraping heat and dampness
The vulnerable part is usually the upper 1/3 of the human back, that is, the shoulder and back area. Scraping the back can increase the activity of capillaries, which is more conducive to heat dissipation and dehumidification in the body. The specific operation method is: dip a scraper or porcelain spoon in a small amount of essential oil or olive oil for lubrication, scrape it from the back along the spine from top to bottom, then scrape it from top to bottom along the spine 1.5 inches wide, and then choose a place 3 inches away from the spine and scrape it from top to bottom in the same way. Shave each part about 5-8 times.
3, diet conditioning, spleen and diuresis
You can choose to eat more foods that strengthen the spleen and promote diuresis, such as amaranth, lentils, wax gourd, coix seed, mung bean and watermelon. Amaranth stalk is cool and sweet, rich in calcium easily absorbed by human body, and also has the functions of detoxification, clearing heat, diuresis, enriching blood and stopping bleeding. Lentils have the effects of nourishing and strengthening, invigorating spleen and qi, eliminating summer heat and dampness, promoting diuresis and reducing swelling. Coix seed is a kind of grain with balanced nutrition. Because it is easy to digest and absorb, it has the functions of promoting metabolism, reducing gastrointestinal burden, invigorating spleen and eliminating dampness, and enhancing renal function.
4. Less salt helps the kidneys drain water.
Drainage should also eat less salt. The salt ingested by the human body is mainly excreted through the kidneys. When there is too much salt or kidney disease, it is impossible to excrete too much sodium in the body in time. When the concentration of sodium ion in blood increases, more water enters blood vessels, which is easy to produce edema. If there is no obvious excessive sweating, a low-salt diet should be adopted. In particular, the salt intake of middle-aged and elderly people is less than that of ordinary people, and patients with kidney disease should strictly control the salt intake.
