What are some methods for clearing the intestines?

The choice of intestinal cleansing method is very important, especially in life there are many foods that can achieve this effect. You can drink some prune juice or honey water, and eat more pears, which have a good effect of reducing fire, clearing the intestines and detoxifying.

1. Prune juice

Studies have shown that due to the rich cellulose, pectin and some unique trace elements contained in prunes, drinking natural prune juice can effectively promote intestinal peristalsis, increase the frequency of bowel movements, and relieve or prevent constipation. Many scientists have conducted extensive research and experiments on the function of prune juice in relieving constipation. Although the explanations for the causes are different, the results all prove that prune juice has a unique effect in relieving constipation that is unmatched by any other food. For a long time, prune juice has been complimented as the human body cleaner in Europe and the United States. Because prune juice can promote defecation and discharge of body wastes, girls in Hong Kong and Taiwan name it “slender juice”.

2. Konjac + honey

Use a juicer to squeeze out the juice from the konjac, put the juice in a pot and cook it over low heat until it becomes a lake. Pour the juice into a container, mix it with cool honey (honey has cool and hot properties), and take two spoonfuls of it on an empty stomach every morning. Be sure to persist, it can cure constipation that has not been cured for a long time.

3. Get up early and drink a glass of cold water

Drink cold water after getting up in the morning. Drinking 2-3 cups of cold water after getting up in the morning can eliminate constipation. This is because cold water entering the stomach triggers the gastro-colon reflex, which starts the peristalsis of the large intestine. When you are constipated, water will be absorbed by the body, causing the stool to become dry and hard. Drinking cold boiled water can replenish the water that is insufficient in the stool.

4. Eat pears after meals

Pears are sweet, delicious, crispy and juicy, and are a favorite fruit of many people. Pears are rich in vitamins A, B, C, D and E. The vitamin C content of a pear is 10% of the "recommended daily intake", and the potassium content is also not small. Like apples, it also contains antioxidants that can keep human cells and tissues healthy. Although pears are very sweet, they are low in calories and fat, making them ideal for people who love sweet food but are afraid of getting fat.

Every 100 grams of pears contains 3 grams of cellulose (mostly insoluble fiber). It is an insoluble fiber that can help prevent constipation and digestive diseases, purify the kidneys and clean the intestines. People with long-term constipation should eat more pears, which can help prevent colon and rectal cancer.
