【生活百科】濕氣不是春夏天獨有的
六大壞習慣惹濕氣
中醫視濕氣為「萬惡之邪」，因為濕氣容易滲透人體各部位，又喜歡與其他邪氣結合，以為只有春夏天才會濕重嗎？其實我們日常生活中，有不少生活習慣是招惹了濕氣而不知自的！快來檢視一下你有沒有以下壞習慣，原來濕邪真的無孔不入啊！
一、常躲在冷氣房
在冷氣房內空氣明明很乾爽，何來濕氣？原來因為我們常常歎冷氣，本來張開的毛孔便緊縮起來，身體的汗液未能透發，便會積聚於體內，這個情況在夏天很常見，可以的話少歎冷氣吧！
二、久坐不動
經常坐著不動，體內水液流動速度便減慢，水份濕氣便在體內累積，建議不時起來動一動。
三、愛吃生冷重口味
愛吃油膩、偏鹹及偏甜等肥甘厚味，以及生冷及寒涼食物，也會加重脾胃負擔，就會使水液代謝受影響，以致濕氣聚積，飲食清淡才是健康之道。
四、衣著愛露肉
愛穿短裙小背心的話，容易讓濕邪入侵，尤其秋冬季節，濕邪結合寒邪形成寒濕，特別容易從沒有衣服包裹的地方侵入身體，如果喜歡赤腳走路，濕邪亦會從腳板入侵。
五、頭未乾便睡
晚上洗頭後，頭髮還未完全乾透便入睡，濕氣有機會從頭皮滲入體內，還是用風筒吹乾頭才睡吧。
六、喜愛夜蒲
晚上寒邪更盛，繼續活動會損傷體內陽氣，熬夜不睡的人亦容易導致脾虛，令水濕運化受影響
。而飲酒過量亦容易於體內聚濕、生痰，影響肝脾運作，以致濕氣積聚。
6 bad habits that provokes dampness
Chinese medicine view dampness as the worst pathogen as dampness can permeate all parts of the body and can easily combine with other pathogens. Heavy dampness does not necessarily only happen during spring and summer. Many people have daily habits that can create dampness too. Take a look to see if you have these habits too.
1. You are also in an air-conditioned room
Air-conditioned room usually have dry air so where is the dampness coming from? When you are in a cool room, your pores close up and fluids within the body cannot be released. The fluids build up in the body and this is common in the summer too.
2. You sit without moving for long periods of time
If you are always sitting without moving, the body fluid flow will slow down and the dampness will build out. We suggest you get up and move every now and then.
3. You prefer cold/raw and heavy flavored food
These food add to the burden of your digestive system affecting your fluid metabolism which leads to build up of dampness. Lighter diets would be healthier for the body.
4. You dress showing a lot of meat
If you like mini skirts and spaghetti straps, you are prone to attack of dampness especially in fall and winter. Dampness combined with cold becomes dampness. If you like to walk around bare foot, dampness pathogen can attack from bottom of the feet too.
5. You sleep without drying your hair
If you sleep without drying your hair after washing, dampness can enter from your scalp.
6. You stay up late and party
Cold pathogen is more active at night and continued activity at night can damage yang qi so those with frequent late nights can have asthenic spleen. This affects transport of fluids. Alcohol can also lead to build up of dampness, create phlegm and affect the functions of the liver and spleen.
