What to eat for detoxification?

Air pollution is becoming more and more serious, and water quality, vegetables, etc. have also been affected to a certain extent. After humans eat them, a small amount of toxins will accumulate, which will become more and more serious over time. Detoxification is necessary. You can drink salt water, eat liquid food, drink water on an empty stomach, supplement with fiber, probiotics, etc.

1. Drink salt water to cleanse the intestines

Preparation: Eat light food the day before bowel cleansing, avoid eating too much meat and fish, avoid eating indigestible fiber, and keep a happy mood. Prepare a pot of boiling water, about the amount of six bottles of mineral water, add two spoons of salt (one spoon is a flat spoon), and stir evenly. Go to bed around ten o'clock, set the alarm clock at five fifty, and make sure you can get up the next morning.

Process: Get up at 5:50 in the morning, drink a glass of warm water, move around, and boil a pot of water to mix with salt water. Remember to wear loose clothes and keep warm in winter.

Everything is ready. Start drinking the first cup of salt water at six in the morning, the best time for detoxification: mix the salt water prepared last night with 600ML (equivalent to the amount of a bottle of mineral water) boiled in the morning, warm, and the salt taste should be similar to that of a slightly salty vegetable soup. Therefore, drinking water should be done skillfully. If you drink water in small sips and the water flow is slow, the water will be easily absorbed in the stomach and produce urine. Therefore, it is best to drink in big gulps (i.e. drink a full mouthful) and swallow quickly, so that the water can reach the colon as quickly as possible and stimulate intestinal peristalsis.

2. Eat liquid food to cleanse the intestines

Skip the regular meals for 2 days a week and only eat liquid foods, such as porridge, soy milk, juice, cheese, jelly or congee to replace the meat and fish for three meals. It is said that this mini fasting method helps to remove waste from the body and make gastrointestinal metabolism smoother.

If the daily calorie intake is less than 1900 kcal and the calcium intake is less than 780 mg per day, body fat will easily increase. When the calcium intake is greater than 1000 mg, the body weight will decrease by 3-4 kg accordingly. The study found that calcium from milk and dairy products (such as cheese) has this effect, while beans and calcium supplements have no obvious effect.

3. Supplement cellulose and probiotics

Eat grains, vegetables and fruits every day. Take a probiotic supplement containing six or more strains of bacteria every day. It is not recommended to drink Yakult or eat cheese.

4. Drink water on an empty stomach

One of the causes of constipation is insufficient water intake. The water from food residues in the intestines is constantly being absorbed, which slows down the peristalsis of the large intestine. Getting up and replenishing water can help eliminate constipation. Because the stomach and intestines are in a resting state at night, drinking water before eating in the morning will make the stomach and intestines work faster than usual, allowing water to be immediately transported to the large intestine, increasing the water content of the stool, and making the soft stool easier to excrete.

Method: Every morning before brushing your teeth, slowly drink two glasses of room temperature water. Drink 6 to 8 glasses of water every day, don’t drink only when you are thirsty!
