Women with dampness in their bodies must pay attention to their diet, insist on eating light food, and eat more foods that clear away heat and dampness, such as lotus root, cucumber, cabbage, bitter melon, winter melon, mung bean, red bean, etc. Special attention should be paid to not eating fried, spicy, stimulating, and highly nourishing foods, such as lamb, dog meat, onion, ginger, garlic, etc.

2. Use dehumidifying soup or porridge to remove moisture and regulate

For people with damp-heat constitution, porridge and soup that can remove moisture are good choices.

In addition, cooking soup with winter melon, pork ribs, lotus seeds, etc. has the effect of clearing away heat and dampness. Tips: Do not add rice to the red bean and barley porridge to remove moisture, because rice grows in water and contains moisture, which will destroy the effectiveness of the red bean and barley porridge.

3. Eat something sour occasionally to protect the liver and spleen

The liver and spleen are mutually dependent and mutually reinforcing, so nourishing the liver is nourishing the spleen. Because acid enters the liver meridian, only when the liver is healthy can the spleen and stomach be strong. Therefore, protecting the liver means nourishing the spleen from the root.
