Is the humidity heavy in summer or winter?

It changes all the year round, but the human body is also changing. In winter, the weather is dry, but in fact, there is less humidity in the air. At this time, if people are in a heated room, they should do a good job of moisturizing. In summer, the weather is hot and the humidity is particularly high, so people often feel loss of appetite and fatigue. In fact, this is the reason for the high humidity. So the humidity in summer is actually the most serious, especially in dog days, which is the highest humidity in a year.

Why is the humidity high in summer?

Modern people are generally "wet", especially in Shanghai and other places where the summer temperature is high and there is a lot of rainfall, which is called the phenomenon of nine wet people, especially in July and August, which is the wet season. If the damp pathogen does not go away, it may lead to heavy body, unfavorable joint activity, and even cause back stiffness or joint pain and deformity. At the same time, internal dampness is characterized by poor spleen and stomach, diarrhea and functional gastroenteritis. "High humidity" is also related to living habits. Living in a cool and air-conditioned environment in summer all the year round, when sweating in summer, sweat accumulates in the body because the air conditioner cannot volatilize. In this environmental state, the human body is prone to get sick, and dampness accumulates in the body, leading to the suppression of yang. At the same time, in the hot summer, people are eager for cold air, like to drink iced drinks and eat cold dishes. When yang is consumed by cold, moisture will bother the body, which will become a health hazard.

Five bad habits get wet easily.

1, likes to eat cold food

This is also the reason why it is easy to get wet in summer. This is because Chinese medicine believes that cold food, ice cream or cool fruits and vegetables will make the digestion and absorption function of the stomach stagnate, creating opportunities for invasion of dampness.

2. Blow the air conditioner violently

Sweating in summer is an important way to dissipate moisture, and the cool environment created by air conditioning will automatically close the pores of the body, so that sweat cannot be discharged, and moisture can only accumulate in the body.

Of course, it is not absolutely impossible to turn on the air conditioner, but it should be used properly. The temperature difference between indoor and outdoor should not be too big. When the humidity is high, it is best to turn on the dehumidification function.

3. Like to drink

Alcohol helps dampness evil, which is easy to cause moisture accumulation in the body, and eventually leads to spleen and stomach dysfunction. It is not surprising that people drink too much beer and barbecue in summer, and the humidity is high.

4. Wash your hair and cover it with a towel.

This situation is more common among female friends. This is because Chinese medicine believes that wet sticky greasy, easy to hurt Yang, and "the head is the meeting of all Yang", there will be "wet wrapped head" situation.

If you cover your hair with a towel after washing, it is easy to feel wet and evil. So after washing your hair, try to dry it or blow it with a hair dryer. In addition, some young people think that walking in the rain is a very romantic thing, and wet evil will invade inadvertently.

5, do not love sports

In Huangdi Neijing, it is said that "sitting for a long time hurts the meat", but it actually hurts the spleen. Spleen governs muscles and transports water and dampness. Lack of exercise leads to weakness of temper, and water will not turn into phlegm. The less you love exercise, the more water you accumulate in your body. As time goes on, your body may get sick.

The cause of humidity

First, eat greasy food.

With the improvement of people's living standards, most people can't live without meat, especially fat. Eating fat affects the transport and transformation of the spleen, which will cause water to be wet and endogenous.

Second, eat cold food.

Eating cold food is one of the reasons for moisture in the body. Cold food belongs to cold nature, which will lead to weakness of the spleen and stomach, and the spleen will control the transport of water and fluid. After spleen deficiency, it will be impossible to transport the moisture in the body in time, leading to the accumulation of moisture in the body. It is not spleen deficiency that is unhealthy, but exhaustion; It's not that the spleen is lazy, but that the traffic jam is not good; It is not the spleen that is sleeping, but the cell consumption is less and the body is over-nourished. In the final analysis, it is all related to temper, "wet weight" is the standard, and "spleen deficiency" is the foundation.

Third, enter the air-conditioned room after sweating.

We know that in summer, the pores on the skin will open and drain, which is normal sweating. When the sweat is discharged, the moisture in the body is gone. But after we sweated, we suddenly entered an air-conditioned environment. In this case, the pores contract and sweat cannot be discharged. It makes water in the body. So what is it mentioned in the Theory of Four Temperaments and Spirits to do in summer and March? "Xia San month, make the gas drain". Therefore, when sweating in summer, try not to enter the air-conditioned environment until you sweat less.
