Everyone knows that people need a lot of water to maintain normal life functions, so everyone should drink some water every day. Some water cannot be completely digested and absorbed after entering the body, thus forming moisture in the body. If there is too much moisture in a person's body, it will cause a series of disease reactions. At this time, it is necessary to remove the dampness, so what are the dietary recipes in the process of removing the dampness?

What is moisture?

Dampness is a product of water metabolism, which is divided into water, dampness, drink and phlegm in traditional Chinese medicine. Characteristics of dampness: It is yin and cold in nature, easily damaging Yang Qi; it is sticky in nature, blocking the Qi flow, and is lingering and difficult to remove.

Simply put, moisture has two sources: external moisture and internal moisture. External dampness comes from the external climate, so people living in coastal cities have more dampness in their bodies; as for internal dampness, it mainly comes from spleen deficiency. When the spleen and stomach are weak, they cannot transport and transform the food they eat. These untransformed foods accumulate in the body and generate dampness. Spleen deficiency will generate dampness, and dampness will aggravate spleen deficiency, forming a vicious cycle.
