It is an important organ for intestinal digestion and absorption of food, and 93% of nutrients in human body are absorbed through intestinal tract. Nowadays, due to diet and living habits, many people have problems such as indigestion, constipation and flatulence. It leads to poor intestinal operation and accumulation of some toxins and harmful substances in the intestine. Studies have shown that more than 70% of chronic diseases in the whole body are related to the intestine. Therefore, in daily life, we should maintain good living habits, adjust our diet, eat more foods that help clean up the intestines and keep the intestines healthy.

How to detoxify and clean up intestinal garbage? Eat these eight kinds of foods regularly, clear the bowels and relieve constipation, and expel enterotoxins.

1. Macroalgae

Kelp is an ideal detoxification food, which is rich in iodine. After iodine is absorbed by the human body, it can promote the excretion of wastes, diseases and harmful substances in the body. In addition, kelp contains water-soluble macromolecular polysaccharide fucoidan, which forms a gel in the intestine, absorbs harmful substances and excretes them, and at the same time can prevent the human body from absorbing heavy metals.

2. Pumpkin

Pumpkin contains a lot of dietary fiber and pectin. These two substances can strengthen gastrointestinal peristalsis, help food digestion and promote digestion. At the same time, they can clean up toxins and wastes in the intestines and promote defecation, thus preventing and relieving constipation.

3. Sweet potato

Sweet potato is a very good laxative food. This is mainly because it is rich in dietary fiber. The research shows that the cellulose content of sweet potato is 10 times that of rice flour. After entering the body, this substance can accelerate the peristalsis of the intestinal wall, adsorb harmful substances in the intestinal tract, promote their excretion with feces, shorten the defecation time, and reduce the contact between toxins and the intestinal wall, thus improving and preventing constipation and reducing the incidence of intestinal cancer.

4.yogurt

Yogurt is rich in probiotics, which can stimulate the secretion of gastric acid, promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, accelerate the digestion and decomposition of food, make our body easier to defecate and effectively prevent constipation. In addition, if the intestinal microecological environment is unbalanced, it may also cause constipation, and probiotics in yogurt can improve the intestinal flora and maintain the balance of the intestinal microecological environment.

5. Auricularia auricula

Auricularia auricula is rich in cellulose and vegetable gum. Cellulose can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, and vegetable gum has strong adsorption. Together, the two components can accelerate the discharge of harmful substances and metabolites in the body, thus dredging the digestive tract and cleaning the gastrointestinal tract. Regular consumption of auricularia auricula can also remove indigestible hair, gravel, sawdust, metal chips and other foreign bodies accidentally ingested in daily life. Therefore, people with frequent constipation, mining, metallurgy, textile, powder processing and other serious air pollution should eat more black fungus in their daily diet.

6. Onions

Probiotics and pathogenic bacteria exist in the intestine. When pathogenic bacteria defeat probiotics, the balance of intestinal flora is broken, which may lead to constipation, diarrhea and other problems.

In order to supplement nutrition and stimulate the growth of probiotics in the intestine, we should eat more foods rich in oligosaccharides, and onion is one of the high-quality choices. In addition, eating onions can prevent cancer, lower cholesterol and enhance blood vessel elasticity. It is found that raw onion has the best health care effect. It can be cold or added to salad. When eating greasy and heavy foods such as beef and mutton, it can be paired with raw onions to relieve greasy.

7.konjac

Amorphophallus konjac contains a chemical substance, which is gelatinous. After the konjac is ripe, it is extracted and separated to obtain refined konjac powder. After refined konjac powder is heated with water, konjac gum will adhere to the human intestinal wall, forming a translucent film, thus hindering the deposition of various toxic substances and the absorption of carcinogens in the intestinal tract. Therefore, Amorphophallus konjac is also called "anti-cancer magic coat".

8. Apple

Apples are rich in organic acids and pectin. These two substances can accelerate intestinal peristalsis, promote the excretion of waste and feces in the intestine, reduce the harm of harmful substances to human body, and have the functions of promoting defecation and detoxification. Eating an apple on an empty stomach every morning is conducive to the timely discharge of feces and can help us prevent or improve constipation.
