Do you always feel drowsy and unconscious, have dampness and sticky bowel movements, and even have frequent wet rashes? Maybe it's because the humidity is too heavy and you need to "drain the body"! Summer is a time when moisture is easily invaded, especially the hot weather in Taiwan, which is even more humid. Chinese doctors provide three types of damp-exciting foods to teach everyone to eliminate internal dampness and cause the root cause of the disease.
Qu Ruirong, a middle-aged doctor at Mackay Hospital, said that among the five internal organs of the human body, the lungs, spleen, and kidneys are the most susceptible to invasion of moisture, and "spleen moisturization" is the most common. Since the spleen is responsible for the transformation of water, if the spleen and kidneys are weak, the function of the transformation of water will be blocked, and the waste and excess water in the body cannot be discharged smoothly to form "moisture".
Qu Ruiying said that the spleen in Chinese medicine mainly refers to poor stomach function. If you eat inappropriately, it is easy for the spleen and stomach to accumulate moisture. "Spleen wetness" will cause people to feel dizzy and "heavy as if they were wrapped", and their stomachs will easily become irritated and their stools will become wet and sticky.
Usually, spleen wetness is not properly discharged, which will further accumulate moisture in the lungs and kidneys. Therefore, it is more common in elderly people or people who are long-term or seriously ill. Usually, the symptoms are phlegm, lower body floating, etc., and must rely on more effective Chinese medicine for treatment, which is difficult to treat through diet.
Qu Ruiying said that summer is a season where moisture is prone to invasion, so it is recommended not to eat refined powder too often, such as bread, cake, etc., and to eat as little milk and dairy products such as cheese as possible.
In addition, Qu Ruiying also recommends three moisturized foods, corn tea, green beans, coix seed soup and winter melon raw ginger soup. It can be eaten in the humid and hot summer to remove excess moisture, restore a dry and relaxed state, and avoid moisture further invading the lungs and kidneys, making it more difficult to treat.

【Green beans, coix seed soup】Method: Wash 15 grams of green beans, 15 grams of coix seed, add water and boil it into a soup. Rock sugar can be added as a little bit in summer (slightly slight and taste), and black sugar can be added as a little bit in cold or during periods.
Efficacy: Green beans have a clearing and detoxifying effect, and coix seed has a skin whitening effect. Symptoms of skin allergies are common in summer. You can take green beans and coix seed soup to clear heat and relieve heat, promote diuresis and detoxify, and have the effect of improving hydration and kidney.

Efficacy:
"Famous Medical Records" once mentioned: "White winter melon is sweet and slightly cold. It is mainly used to remove leucorrhea from lower ascites, promote urination, and quench thirst." Winter melon is sweet, light and bland in nature. Enters the lungs, kidneys, and bladder. It can clear heat and promote diuresis, relieve heat and heat, treat water and kidney dysentery, difficulty in urination, dysentery, etc. Eat it regularly by fat people, which can help reduce weight.
The raw ginger is warm in nature, which can neutralize the ginger nature of winter melon. The raw ginger is spicy and has a spicy taste, and it has a function that promotes water and eliminates kidneys. It is mainly used for hydrating and kidneys, which are difficult to urinate.
