According to experts' advice, the effect of any detoxification method is not as good as the "detoxification" system that comes with the human body. This system includes organs such as liver, kidney, skin and lung, which can continuously filter, decompose and remove "toxins and wastes". As long as we adhere to a balanced and healthy diet and lifestyle, drink plenty of water, get enough sleep, exercise properly, and keep a happy mood, the "detoxification" system in the body will run smoothly, and those toxic sources that threaten health will naturally slip away. Other questions about detoxification: the mystery of detoxification 1: What poisons are there in my body? In addition to the toxins brought to the body by the external environment, the human body will also produce toxins. For example, if the retention time of intestinal metabolites is too long, some bacteria can decompose protein and produce toxic substances such as peptides, amines, ammonia, a small amount of hydrogen sulfide and indole. Under normal circumstances, they are absorbed into the blood and can be transformed and detoxified in the liver, so they are not harmful to health. However, when toxic substances accumulate for a long time and cannot be discharged in time, it may cause self-poisoning. No matter skin, brain cells, liver and other tissues and organs will be damaged by toxins. Detoxification Mystery 2: What's the difference between Chinese and Western detoxification? The "poison" in western medicine refers to substances harmful to human body, including the pressure and pollution of the external environment, bacteria and viruses, fat, sugar, protein and other wastes generated in the metabolic process. In traditional Chinese medicine, the concept of "poison" is more extensive, and the products of metabolism in the body are all called poison, including six kinds of "evil" that originated in vitro and the body can not adapt to. Chinese medicine says "detoxification" refers to improving the adaptability of the body through whole body conditioning, and then actively transforming or decomposing various harmful substances. Detoxification includes sweating, urination, coughing and sneezing. Detoxification problem 3: detoxification as soon as it is posted? Experts pointed out that there is no scientific basis in medicine for the statement of "foot-sticking detoxification". Those black sticky substances that look oily may be grease excreted by sweat glands. People's feet have reflex zones corresponding to various viscera and organs. Stimulating these reflex zones can promote blood circulation and regulate endocrine. As long as the human body functions normally, some toxins can be excreted with sweat. Detoxification mystery 4: Can enema detoxification be used? Chinese medicine believes that toxins contained in stool are the source of all diseases. Western medicine also believes that wastes and food residues produced by metabolism of fat, sugar, protein and other substances in human body are the main sources of toxins in the body. The doctor's advice is to defecate every day. Of course, if it is not so ideal, there is an extreme way called clearing the intestines and detoxifying, which is enema. Enema can soften feces, lubricate intestines, expel feces in time, eliminate toxins, and maintain a good environment in the body when feces are dry and defecation is difficult. But experts believe that this kind of external stimulus may break people's normal physiological balance. It is only an auxiliary physical therapy for constipation. The treatment is mainly to change eating habits and carry out drug treatment. Puzzle 5: Lymphatic massage can help detoxify? Is "Lymphatic Detoxification" really as magical as advertised? Indeed, many people feel much better after lymphatic massage to detoxify. This is probably the reaction of massaging acupoints to the body. Experts believe that the lymphatic system has immune function. When the human body is invaded by external viruses, the lymphatic system will filter out pathogenic microorganisms with its own circulation like a filter. It is a circulatory system independent of sweat glands and urinary system, and the toxins in lymph can not be excreted from sweat and urine. And lymph can also play an immune role without massage. Everyone's physique is different. Only by choosing the appropriate detoxification method according to your own characteristics can you get twice the result with half the effort. For most people who do not actively respond to the needs of drug rehabilitation, choosing a way that they can do is a successful start of drug rehabilitation.
