How does the body detoxify during fasting?
The real purpose of fasting is detoxification. After entering liquid fasting, firstly, the intestines and stomach basically don't need to spend any energy to digest food, and the intestines and stomach and pancreas will always be in a state of recuperation and self-repair, which is a good thing. Possible problems include: because there is no residue of solid food, it is difficult to form stool and the peristalsis ability of colon will be weakened. Therefore, if there is no defecation during fasting, it is necessary to help the body excrete by drinking evergreen tea and other methods to promote defecation every day. The colon has the function of reabsorption, and excretion will prevent the toxins in the intestine from being reabsorbed, which is the detoxification of the intestine. The most important thing of fasting and detoxification is liver detoxification. The liver is the chemical plant of the body. Usually, as soon as you eat and have food to digest, the liver will work, and the work of digesting food by the liver is a priority. However, the liver is also an important detoxification organ of the body. Only during fasting can the detoxification function of the liver work around the clock. The detoxification mechanism of liver is as follows: 1. Oxidative detoxification: food residues in the large intestine rot, and toxins produced by fermentation will be oxidized into carbon dioxide and water after entering the liver. Drugs are also detoxified by liver oxidation, so that they will not cause great harm to human body. 2. Combined detoxification: Many chemical toxins will combine with glucuronic acid in the liver to eliminate toxicity, and indole and phenolic toxins produced by harmful bacteria in the intestine will combine with sulfate to eliminate toxicity. 3, enzyme decomposition, metabolism: the human body will make a variety of different enzymes, and then in the liver, the toxins produced by foreign or self-metabolism will be decomposed into non-toxic substances and excreted. As we all know, it takes about a week for the wound to heal, and it also takes about a week for the liver to detoxify and rebuild the body system during fasting. This detoxification process is not only the purification of blood, but also the automatic balance and recovery of the systemic endocrine system. Therefore, abnormal hyperlipidemia, hyperglycemia, hyperuricemia, hyperviscosity, fatty liver and alcoholic hepatitis all improved rapidly after one week. The amount of alcohol cultivated by long-term training before, as well as the hidden coffee on which fatigue depends, may suddenly disappear after fasting. At the same time, eat it again and find that the appetite is big, but the appetite is small. It tastes delicious, and many thin people get fat, which is the advantage of liquid food. Is spring suitable for fasting? "Ten Lectures on Fasting" said: "Ideally, people should fast once or twice a year, which is the accumulation of toxins to the environment, the garbage in our food, and the emotions, from regulation to treatment. Traditionally, people fast in spring and autumn when the weather is mild. " According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the liver governs excretion and the spleen governs transport and transformation. "The liver is connected with spring qi", "The liver stores the qi that produces hair, and the five internal organs are surrounded by qi, and the five internal organs are left by qi resistance"; At the same time, "liver qi runs, that is, spleen soil." It means that spring health care should pay attention to clearing and protecting the liver on the basis of nourishing and tonifying the spleen, so as to "dredge its qi and blood, make it smooth and achieve peace" Appropriate supplement of aphrodisiac food to cope with the opportunity of spring hair growth. Traditional Chinese medicine's cognition of five flavors and five internal organs is: "Acid enters the liver, sweet enters the spleen", "The liver wants to disperse, pungent food and urgent food are used to disperse it, pungent food is used to supplement it, and acid diarrhea is used. If the spleen wants to slow down, it will slow down. If it is urgent, it will be eaten. If it is bitter, it will be diarrhea. If it is tonic, it will be sweet. " In our detoxification scheme of lemon-food compatibility of nutrition and fasting, lemon tastes sour, enters the liver and clears the liver; Natural tree syrup is sweet, soothing and invigorating the spleen; Chili powder is pungent, soothing liver and clearing lung, promoting fluid production and quenching thirst. Especially the natural tree syrup from the growth juice of maple and palm not only contains the opportunity of hair growth in spring, but also carries the life factors of plants, which is helpful to the purification and regeneration of body cells and the regeneration of life systems. Who needs fasting more? "Lingshu Tiannian" said that "at the age of 50, liver qi began to decline, liver lobes began to thin, bile began to decrease, and the eyes began to be unclear"; Since the age of 50, clearing and protecting the liver has become the top priority of health care. If you are still young and have the above symptoms of abnormal blood, it means that your liver has been damaged and you need to act immediately. Overnutrition is a common health threat to urban residents living in a well-off society. How can we effectively prevent various chronic diseases, even cancer? "If you don't treat the disease, you can't cure it. If you don't treat the disease, you will be chaotic. If you don't mess, you won't mess"; The concept of "preventing disease" is health preservation and health management.
