Dr. He Haochen
Methods for regulating a body with excessive dampness mainly include the following points:
1. Dietary regulation: Eat more light, easily digestible foods such as vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and lean meats. Avoid greasy, raw, cold, spicy, and irritating foods to reduce phlegm-dampness production.
2. Exercise regulation: Engage in moderate aerobic exercises such as walking, jogging, and swimming to promote blood circulation and metabolism, aiding in the elimination of dampness from the body.
3. Lifestyle habits: Ensure adequate sleep and avoid staying up late or overexertion to maintain normal metabolic functions.
4. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) regulation: Follow medical advice to use proprietary Chinese medicines or herbal formulas with functions of strengthening the spleen and removing dampness for regulation.
