Bad habits aggravate internal moisture Bad habits bring moisture
Not enough sleep. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, insufficient sleep is a symptom of spleen deficiency, and a good sleep can also make our bodies lighter.

Fatty, salty and sweet food is not easy to digest, and it is easy to cause flatulence and inflammation. Sweets and fried foods can make the body produce peroxides and aggravate the inflammatory reaction.
Love to eat cold. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that raw and cold food, ice cream or cold fruits and vegetables will stagnate the digestion and absorption function of the stomach and create invasion opportunities for external evils. Therefore, it is not easy to eat too much. It is better to add onions and ginger when cooking to weaken the cold nature of vegetables.
Drink a lot of wine. This is the key factor that aggravates "dampness toxin". From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, alcohol helps damp evil. Therefore, alcohol should be touched as little as possible, not to drown your worries in alcohol.
Less exercise. People who exercise less often have heavy body, weak limbs and other manifestations of high humidity. The more inactive you are, the more moisture will accumulate in your body. Over time, your body may suffer from diseases.

Always sitting. Sitting for a long time will lead to insufficient brain blood supply, reduce brain oxygen supply and nutrients, and increase fatigue insomnia , memory decline, etc., which can also cause muscle soreness, neck stiffness and headache dizzy 。
