The "Chinese cabbage detoxification method" is popular on WeChat recently: Chinese cabbage, mainly leaves, is boiled with water. It should be cooked until it is soft, without adding any oil or salt, but with a little chili pepper or peeled ginger. Eat when you are hungry every day for three consecutive days without eating other food. On the third day, in addition to eating cabbage leaves, you can also drink some cabbage soup. According to the WeChat health account, "After eating this, you will pass stools... If you insist on it for more than 21 days, you will pass stools of five colors, which is to eliminate all the toxins in the five internal organs."

Is Chinese cabbage detoxification really that magical? The reporter contacted the gastroenterologist at Hefei Second People's Hospital. However, the doctor did not advocate the Chinese cabbage detoxification method. "It is unscientific to just eat Chinese cabbage. A reasonable diet and balanced nutrition. Three meals a day should have a variety of foods, and cereals are the best." Mainly, drinking more water and exercising more can detoxify. If you only eat cabbage for a long time, it may cause harm to your health.”

Rumor: “The correct order of eating”? Doctor: No scientific basis

"Say no to sweet drinks. Eat fresh fruits first, then a small bowl of light appetizer soup, then eat vegetable dishes to fill your stomach more than half; then have the staple food , fish and meat dishes are served last, and you can drink a little wine at this time." This is the "most correct order of eating" that has been widely circulated on major health and wellness WeChat accounts recently. Many people shouted, "It turns out that the order in which I eat has always been done. It’s wrong!”

Is this “the most correct order of eating” really correct? Professor Li, a nutrition expert at the School of Public Health of Anhui Medical University, said that nutrition does not emphasize the order of eating, and the so-called "most correct order of eating" on WeChat has no scientific basis.

Professor Li said that some special groups, such as patients with stomach problems or those who want to control their food intake, can choose to drink soup first and then eat vegetables, but the order of eating and drinking does not affect the absorption of nutrients. Therefore, Professor Li believes that the "correct order of eating" popular on WeChat has no scientific basis, and citizens should be cautious when making choices.
