Food Detoxification Many people probably know that toxin accumulation will cause diseases and should be detoxified, but they don't know what the "poison" is; Many people choose to wash their intestines and take medicine to detoxify, but they don't know that it is really a serious mistake. In fact, "toxins" include all kinds of substances that are harmful to health, both brought by the external environment and produced by the body. Chinese medicine believes that dampness, heat, phlegm, fire and food in the body accumulate into "poison", in which the toxin of stool is the source of all diseases; Western medicine believes that the wastes produced by metabolism of fat, sugar, protein and other substances in the human body and the products of food residues in the intestines are the main sources of toxins in the body. While improving the environment, consciously choosing some detoxified foods and insisting on exercise are the correct ways to remove toxins.

The specific method is as follows:

1, help liver and detoxify

The liver is an important detoxification organ. After a series of chemical reactions in the liver, various toxins become non-toxic or low-toxic substances. We can eat more carrots, garlic, grapes and figs in our daily diet to help the liver detoxify.

Carrots: It is an effective mercury-discharging food. A large amount of pectin can combine with mercury, effectively reducing the concentration of mercury ions in blood and accelerating its discharge. Eating some carrots every day can also stimulate the blood circulation of the gastrointestinal tract, improve the digestive system and resist free radicals that cause disease and aging.

Garlic: The special ingredients in garlic can reduce the concentration of lead in the body.

Grape: It can help the liver, intestine and stomach to clear the garbage in the body, and also increase the hematopoietic function.

Fig: contains organic acids and various enzymes, which can protect liver and detoxify, clear away heat and moisten intestines, and help digestion, especially against toxic substances such as SO2 and SO3.

2, help kidney detoxification

The kidney is an important organ for detoxification. It filters the toxins in the blood and the wastes produced by protein decomposition, and excretes them through urine. Cucumber, cherry and other fruits and vegetables help the kidneys to detoxify.

Cucumber: The diuretic effect of cucumber can clean the urethra and help the kidneys excrete toxins from the urinary system. Cucurbitacin, cucumber acid, etc. can also help detoxify the lungs, stomach and liver.

Cherry: Cherry is a valuable natural medicinal food, which helps the kidneys to detoxify. At the same time, it also has a mild laxative effect.

3. Moisturize intestines and detoxify

Intestines can quickly eliminate toxins, but if indigestion, it will cause toxins to stay in the intestines and be reabsorbed, which will cause great harm to health. Konjac, auricularia auricula, kelp, pig blood, apples, strawberries, honey, brown rice and many other foods can help the digestive system detoxify. Amorphophallus konjac, also known as "Ghost taro" and "Snake Valley" in Chinese medicine, is a famous "gastrointestinal scavenger" and "blood purifier", which can remove the waste on the intestinal wall.

Auricularia auricula: The plant gum contained in Auricularia auricula has strong adsorption, which can adsorb impurities remaining in the human digestive system, clean the blood, and can effectively remove pollutants in the body if eaten frequently.

Kelp: Alginic acid in kelp can slow down the absorption of radioactive element strontium in the intestine, so that strontium can be excreted, thus having the effect of preventing leukemia. In addition, kelp can also promote the discharge of cadmium into the body.

Pig blood: After the plasma protein in pig blood is decomposed by enzymes in digestive juice, it produces a substance that detoxifies and moistens intestines, which can react with dust and metal particles invading the human body, transform it into a substance that is not easily absorbed by the human body, and directly excrete it, which has the functions of removing dust, clearing intestines and relaxing bowels.

Apples: Galactosylic acid in apples helps to detoxify, while pectin can prevent food from rotting in the intestines.

Strawberry: contains a variety of organic acids, pectin and minerals, which can clean the stomach and strengthen the liver.

Honey: it has been a good product for detoxification and beauty since ancient times, and contains a variety of amino acids and vitamins needed by the human body. Eating honey regularly can not only excrete toxins, but also have a certain effect on preventing and treating cardiovascular diseases and neurasthenia.

Brown rice: it is a plumber who cleans the large intestine. When it passes through the intestine, it will suck up a lot of sludge and finally remove it from the body.

4. Other foods on the detox diet

Celery: The rich fiber contained in celery can filter the waste in the body like a purification device. Regular consumption can stimulate the body to detoxify and deal with diseases caused by the accumulation of toxins in the body, such as rheumatism and arthritis. In addition, celery can also regulate the balance of water in the body and improve sleep.

Drinking more water can promote metabolism, shorten the stay time of feces in the intestine, reduce the absorption of toxins and dissolve water-soluble toxins. It is best to drink a cup of warm water on an empty stomach every morning. In addition, drinking water in the morning can also reduce blood viscosity and prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
