In normal life, the food people eat passes through the esophagus, stomach, duodenum, small intestine and large intestine, and finally is excreted through the anus. Generally 12 ~ 24 hours can complete the whole process. This can ensure that the waste will not stay in the intestine for too long and avoid poisoning in the body. However, once fatigue, tension or other physiological reasons lead to metabolic dysfunction, endocrine disorders and other symptoms, human waste will stay in the body for a long time. These residual wastes remain in the colon and begin to rot, producing toxins. These toxins are reabsorbed through the colon and enter different organs through blood circulation.
Toxins in the human body can not be excreted, which will lead to many system diseases, such as memory loss, fatigue, sallow complexion, constipation, hemorrhoids, endocrine disorders and so on. In this way, it is necessary to remove these wastes that have been stranded in the body for a long time by some means, so as to make the spirit comfortable, increase physical strength and smooth the face, so as to achieve the purpose of regulating endocrine and restoring metabolic function.
Should the human body detoxify by external force or by itself?
The organs that excrete toxins in the human body are mainly the large intestine, skin, lungs, kidneys and other organs. The daily defecation of human body is the action of expelling toxins, such as taking a bath regularly, cleaning and dredging skin pores, which is also conducive to the discharge of toxins in the body. But sometimes the waste in the body accumulates over time, and people tend to be constipated, and the pores are blocked, which affects the discharge of toxins. So people began to explore various ways to help detoxify. Specifically, these methods can be divided into three categories: taking health care drugs, cleaning the large intestine and beauty care.
Among many methods, drug rehabilitation can be regarded as the main way, because compared with other methods, it is more mature and has more obvious effects. It can adsorb, purify, decompose and neutralize toxins in the body, and then excrete wastes through the digestive tract, urinary tract and sweat glands. In contrast, colon cleaning is more direct. It cleans the large intestine, cleans the toxins attached to the intestinal wall, massages the intestine, accelerates the peristalsis of the colon and restores its metabolic function. Beauty detoxification is relatively easy, mainly based on local detoxification. For example, sea bath and mud bath are all for cleaning the skin. For example, Chinese medicine detoxifies the face, the main purpose is to clean the face, so that the toxins gathered on the face can be discharged smoothly, thus making the face rosy and smooth and playing the role of skin care and beauty.
Is detoxification effective?
Whether it is multi-course detoxification or one-off beauty care, it is a temporary solution, which may sometimes make the human body dependent and lose its function. In addition, detoxification is expensive, and the side effects can not be ignored. At present, "human detoxification" is still difficult to enter the homes of ordinary people. Moreover, "the medicine of three poisons", even natural medicine, sometimes brings adverse effects to human body. Cleaning the large intestine directly may also cause some harm to the human body. All kinds of detoxification methods are targeted, and everyone's physical condition is significantly different. Only by adopting more targeted detoxification methods can we achieve better results.
Detoxification must not produce dependence.
In the face of many detoxification methods, whether taking medicine or washing intestines, regardless of the mentality of the detoxifier, its purpose is for health care. However, we should also see that some people-aware that they have the above symptoms-are very scared, because businesses associate constipation, acne, pigmentation, obesity, abdominal distension, bad breath, gastrointestinal discomfort, dizziness, shortness of breath, irritability and other phenomena with toxins in the body. They often rely on external forces to detoxify. If they don't detoxify for a day, they will have a strong sense of crisis and work inefficiently. Psychologists believe that such people have gone into a misunderstanding and should go to the hospital to consult a doctor and receive comprehensive physical and psychological treatment. The director of nephrology in a well-known hospital believes that generally speaking, the human body does not need detoxification. Because the human body has the function of digestion and metabolism, relying on these functions, the human body can completely excrete the waste in the body, and only by making full use of its own functional metabolism can it be safe and lasting. Of course, those who have symptoms of metabolic dysfunction and imbalance due to intense and busy work can adjust and restore their body functions with the help of external forces, but they should avoid dependence. As far as large intestine cleaning is concerned, normal people can only do it twice a year, and excessive use will lead to their own dysfunction.
Detoxification is to help the human body discharge waste. Relying on it completely will not only bring inconvenience to daily life, but also bring psychological pressure. Whether you want health care or beauty, you should develop good eating habits and have a healthy attitude. Only energetic and cheerful people are the healthiest people. Detoxification must not follow the fashion, follow the advertisement.
In recent years, there has been an upsurge of "detoxification" in society, and women are more keen on "detoxification", as if "detoxification" equals beauty. It is true that our bodies and surroundings are full of toxins. Unhealthy diet, polluted air, heavy work pressure and lack of rest are all the reasons why toxins accumulate in body and mind. But how can we achieve the goal of detoxification? Do we really need to use the popular "drug detoxification method" Actually, it's not, because we have a more natural and safer "detoxification" method. As long as we use it properly, you can become a "non-toxic" beautiful girl.
Body and toxin
In the impression of ordinary people, poison is very terrible, because it is often associated with words such as "poison" and "drug", so people often talk about poison. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, all substances that have adverse effects on human body are collectively called poison. This is the latter.
Adult acne is actually a "detoxification" phenomenon of the body. Many people have passed the peak of acne-after puberty, acne on their faces has increased. Some people don't worry about acne at all in adolescence, but in their thirties, their faces are covered with acne, which is more difficult to heal and easier to leave traces. In fact, this is the so-called "adult pox". According to China and Japanese medical theory, skin is connected with body, mind and internal organs. Therefore, when toxins in the body cannot be excreted through urine, sweat and defecation, they will be exposed from the skin.
Toxins pollute the intestines. Now, the food we eat in our stomachs contains food additives, residual pesticides, mercury and so on. And these toxins that are harmful to the body will also reach the intestines with food. Originally, there were many protruding villi on the intestinal wall that would absorb nutrients and isolate toxins, but toxins would do harm to these villi. Under the accumulated toxin pollution, intestinal villi are covered with scars, and nutrients and toxins cannot be absorbed together, thus increasing the toxins in the body.
The accumulation of toxins comes from liver fatigue. Toxins in food are absorbed by the small intestine and transported to the liver. The liver is the detoxification organ of the body, and it will use a lot of enzymes to neutralize chemicals, food additives, residual pesticides and so on in food. In addition, people with constipation will produce a lot of toxins in the intestines, and these toxins will also be sent to the liver for detoxification. However, long-term consumption of food containing a lot of additives and persistent constipation will make the liver in a state of fatigue. If toxins are not completely removed, they will circulate to the duodenum through the intestine and liver, and then be absorbed into the blood. In this way, the blood will become dirty and sticky, affecting the metabolism of the body and skin, and skin problems such as acne, roughness and spots will emerge one by one.
Oil helps to increase toxins. As we all know, greasy food will aggravate the problem of acne. In addition to stimulating the secretion of sebaceous glands and making acne worse, oil is also closely related to toxins. Because oil can dissolve toxins in food, such as preservatives, heavy metals, food additives and so on. , making it easy to penetrate into body tissues, more difficult to excrete, toxins in the body will also increase, and skin problems will be more difficult to heal.
The truth about eating chocolate and getting acne. Many people say that eating too much chocolate will lead to acne, but western medicine says there is no medical basis at all. In fact, the main reason why chocolate grows acne is the sugar wrapped inside. Sugar is an indispensable element for the human body, but when eaten too much, it becomes a toxin. It will consume a lot of vitamin b2 and b 12, and it will also hinder the absorption of vitamin C, which is an important element to maintain skin health. Therefore, sugar will hinder the skin from absorbing the nutrients it needs, disturb the skin's metabolism, and fall into a state of acne.
Psychotoxin-stress. Stress can lead to acne, which sounds incredible. However, it is found that stress can make nerve endings secrete a substance, which makes sebaceous glands active and increases oil secretion. Stress will also increase the androgen that leads to the development of sebaceous glands, and oil will be secreted more. Over time, it will be oxidized into bad oil, blocking pores, and a large number of free radicals produced in the process will damage cell tissue and worsen acne. So stress is also a toxin that affects the body.
Detoxification is not a mistake.
In recent years, the health care products named "Detoxifying Beauty" are extremely hot, and many people are scrambling to buy them. Is the "detoxification" health care product really so magical?
In fact, every normal person has the ability to remove all kinds of poisons, such as the liver, the largest detoxification organ, which can decompose toxic substances in the body through a series of biochemical reactions. Human excretion, sweating, breathing, coughing, vomiting, etc. It can also excrete metabolic waste. There is a famous saying in traditional Chinese medicine that "healthy qi exists inside, and evil cannot be done". With strong healthy qi and strong resistance, the human body will resist all kinds of "poison" and naturally excrete it.
It is worth mentioning that if you want to "detoxify", it depends on where the "poison" is. For example, you just ate a poison by mistake and need to "detoxify" by vomiting or gastric lavage; Those with exogenous fever should sweat and relieve exterior syndrome, and clear away heat and toxic materials; Kidney diseases, even uremia, can be removed from the body through dialysis; If you suffer from infectious diseases, "poison" invades the blood, resulting in toxemia or septicemia, you need to use antibiotics. It can be seen that the way of "detoxification" is not just defecation. How to "detoxify", we must listen to the doctor's guidance and adopt different methods due to illness.
The main components of some "detoxification" health products are mostly laxatives containing rhubarb. For people with frequent constipation, gastrointestinal stagnation and heat syndrome, purgation and catharsis can play the role of "detoxification". But individual differences make different people have different tolerance to laxatives. Some people may not have diarrhea if they eat10g rhubarb, and some people will have severe diarrhea if they eat 3g rhubarb, and there will be side effects such as abdominal pain, nausea and stomach upset. Rhubarb can only be taken for a short time, otherwise it will harm the gastrointestinal tract, affect the digestion and absorption of food, and cause malnutrition and other consequences.
From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, women with deficiency of both qi and blood have sallow complexion, dry skin, dizziness and fatigue, qi deficiency and laziness, palpitation and shortness of breath, and need to replenish qi and blood instead of diarrhea. Otherwise, empty people will be more empty, so how to maintain beauty? Therefore, diarrhea can be "detoxified" and tonic can also be "detoxified".
The "detoxification" of middle-aged and elderly people should distinguish between the physical types of deficiency and excess, cold and heat, and the tonic and diarrhea should be determined according to the physical condition. Don't follow the crowd and step into the misunderstanding of "detoxification".
Some beauticians use a vibrator or manual massage to push up from the soles of their feet. It is said that they can also achieve the function of "lymphatic drainage and detoxification". Some experts believe that the lymphatic system is the third circulatory system of the human body except arterial and venous circulation, and some cancer cells, bacteria and foreign bodies that are not easy to penetrate the capillary wall are easy to enter the capillary lymphatic system circulation. In fact, taking a hot bath, jogging, swimming, etc. It is also beneficial to lymphatic reflux without external force.
Intestinal lavage "detoxification" should also be treated correctly. Intestinal lavage, also known as intestinal lavage therapy, is to inject purified water at about 38℃ into the "intestinal lavage machine" to clean the intestinal surface and expel all kinds of rotten substances that have been stuck in the intestinal tract for a long time. However, experts believe that the failure to excrete toxins in the body in time is indeed related to the occurrence of certain diseases, but these "toxins" are related to the decline of organ function. It can't be said that other diseases won't happen if the intestines are cleaned. Moreover, many times of intestinal lavage "detoxification", once it destroys the ecological balance of normal intestinal flora, is likely to become another health hazard.
In fact, as long as we establish a scientific and healthy concept of nutrition and a reasonable and balanced diet structure, it is more practical than simply pursuing "detoxification" health care products.
"Eat less" can help detoxify
After people consume nutrients and calories from their diet every day, they will produce various toxic substances after metabolism. Only when these toxins are completely excreted can the human body achieve balance and maintain health.
"Eating less" is a natural and safe way to "detoxify". This is because on an empty stomach, the "motilin" in the body-digestive system hormones will be secreted. Its appearance is not to help the digestion of food, but to make the intestinal peristalsis hyperactive and quickly discharge food residues. When we are hungry, the abdomen often makes a "grunt, grunt" cry, which is proof that intestinal peristalsis becomes active. At this time, the excretion function in the body becomes active, the residual toxins in the body will be removed, and the blood in the whole body will be cleaned again.
People usually think that eating a lot of food can promote defecation, but they don't understand that "satiety" is one of the important reasons for constipation. After eating less, the burden on the stomach and intestines is reduced, and the function is fully exerted: it can not only remove excess nutrients and toxins in the body, but also maximize the natural ability of the human body. Specifically, after eating less, the body will mobilize all its strength to fully digest and absorb the food that enters the stomach. This counterattack against hunger has greatly changed the body tissue, and the power of this change has formed the process of physical improvement.
From 15 years ago, the Institute of Aging of the National Health Research Center of the United States began to do research experiments on the relationship between eating less and longevity with monkeys. They divided 60 monkeys into two groups, one group was full and the other group was only seven points full. After 15, the mortality of monkeys in the seven-point full group was only half of that in the full group. The experiment is still going on, but we can believe that this result will also happen to us humans.
Bilubang Village in South America, one of the three longevity towns in the world, is a small village with less than 1000 people, but there are as many as nine elderly people over 100 years old. After investigating the diet of these longevity people, it is found that they actually live a life of eating less coarse grains, and the food is basically wheat, corn, potatoes, bananas, grapes and so on.
Mr Hirota, a famous Japanese doctor, miraculously gave birth to many patients with difficult diseases with his unique fasting and eating less. When summing up his practical career for more than half a century, he repeatedly stressed: "Strictly abide by the principle of' seven points full' and try to make it a lifelong habit-this is the most important way to keep healthy."
How to achieve the goal of "eating less"
The demand for food is our innate instinct, and everyone has his own eating habits, so we should not take a rash attitude towards eating less, let alone rush in. If the goal is seven points full, you can't just eat seven points full at once, otherwise it will not only be difficult to sustain, but also easily cause stress and even harm to body and mind.
Old people or people with weak constitution should pay special attention to the word "slow" when eating less, and it will take several years or longer to gradually reach the ideal goal. Before starting to eat less, we should gradually correct bad eating habits. For example, people who like sweets, meat and eggs should try to be temperate and gradually change their habit of liking food into coarse grains? Brown rice, miscellaneous grains, vegetables, beans, sesame seeds, laver, etc. People whose main diet and digestive function are poor must grind coarse grains such as brown rice into powder, and then add water to the fire to make a paste before eating. At the same time, we should gradually get rid of the habit of eating snacks or supper, learn to enjoy the relaxed pleasure of fasting, and strive to be "not hungry, not omnivorous, not hungry and not in a hurry."
When you start to eat less, you should reduce the weight of your diet bit by bit. In other words, take a small step first, stand firm and then take a small step, and move forward step by step. Doing so will not only not cause a burden to the body and mind, but also will not easily lead to an explosive rebound caused by the suppression of appetite. This is the real stability and quickness. Some women who go on a diet in order to lose weight fail completely because of rash and sharp reduction of food. The word "running water" is very suitable for eating less and needs to be understood carefully.
Now, I'm going to introduce a gradual diet method called "nine-point full and eat less": at the beginning of each year, I will reduce my original diet by110 every day, that is, I used to be very full, but now I am very full and continue to get used to it for one year. Then reduce 10% in the second year? Or can we just reduce the original 1/20? . After years of unremitting efforts, we will easily reach the other side of eating less. At that time, you will be pleasantly surprised to find that your body has become much better, more energetic and radiant than before.
People who are not used to eating less every meal can try to eat less by reducing the amount of a certain meal. If you eat breakfast and lunch as before and gradually reduce the amount of dinner, you can even reach the point of not eating in a few years, that is, two meals a day. If friends and relatives get together and have a full meal, it is best to stop eating breakfast the next day, because emptying the stomach before entering the next meal is the minimum condition for a healthy diet. You can also drink one or two glasses of "carrot apple juice": cut a proper amount of fresh carrots and apples into pieces, then beat them into fruit and vegetable juice with an electric juicer, chew the residue carefully with the juice and swallow them instead of breakfast. This fresh drink not only brings rich nutrition to human body, but also helps to excrete feces and clean blood.
People who may be ready to try to "eat less" will ask: will "eat less" lead to malnutrition? To answer this question, we must first emphasize two points: first, most people consume too much nutrition every day, and our bodies are suffering from it. Therefore, it is necessary to eat less, but it does not mean that it is good to eat less. The premise of eating less is to meet the basic nutritional needs; Second, as long as it is cultivated deliberately, the body can adapt to eating less. When the body slowly adapts to eating less, intestinal peristalsis becomes active, stool is gradually eliminated, and the digestion and absorption function of the stomach is enhanced. Therefore, a small amount of food is completely effective. So eating less correctly will not lead to malnutrition. Clear-headed, relaxed and energetic-this is the voice of many food practitioners.
Need to be reminded: ① Try to eat less in a "slow", "steady" and "lasting" way, and don't be impatient. The habit of eating less should be cultivated from an early age. Even in childhood, parents should let their children develop the good habit of eating moderately.
"Detoxification" should let nature take its course.
Experts suggest that healthy people should not rely too much on health products to detoxify, but should pay attention to changing their lifestyles, establish healthy nutritional concepts, and "detoxify" with the concept of letting nature take its course. In daily life, we might as well start with some details:
1. Hemp seeds are an important medium in the process of removing waste. Sprinkle seed hemp on the fruit to be eaten every morning or add it to porridge, which is very helpful for "detoxification". 2. 100% pure natural aromatherapy oil is much more effective than ordinary aromatherapy oil, which really achieves the effect of beautifying the body and mind. Can help the body "detoxify" to lose weight and dehydrate, such as shrew, geranium, juniper, etc. There are cypress, eucalyptus, frankincense, pine needles, sandalwood and ylang ylang, which can remove negative energy and help meditation.
3. Pure natural mask powder as diy mask is the most economical and effective way to "detoxify". For example, dried tangerine peel powder and angelica powder can help freckle and yellow; Almond powder and coix seed powder can remove corners and increase elasticity; Smilax glabra powder, pearl powder and mung bean powder can diminish inflammation and whiten skin.
4. Read more books that help to detoxify the body and mind, such as Simple Yoga, Determined Happiness, Green Mind, Simple Mind is Beauty, Stress Relief Tips, Introduction to Meditation, etc.
There are many happy things in nature, besides flowers and trees, there are all kinds of beautiful days, which can wash away the fatigue of urbanites. For example, birds singing and wind and waves often bring people a great feeling of comfort and harmony.
Meditation or meditation for ten minutes every day is a good way to clean your mind, and you can also listen to meditation music while burning incense? Pure purple? Fragrant strips and granules can be made of citronella or sandalwood, and burned in a beautiful incense box to slowly release psychotoxins.
7. Busy urbanites often go out to eat, which is easy to lack the absorption of plant fiber and nutrition. Drinking more fruit and vegetable juice on weekdays as a supplement to body sewage can enhance the body's natural "detoxification" function.
8. Eat five different vegetables every day, preferably two of them are raw. In this way, our bodies will increase their resistance to various diseases every day.
9. Seawater contains many minerals that have been proved to be beneficial to health. These minerals are very similar to those contained in our blood, so they are easily absorbed through the skin. Bathing or soaking in natural salt water can promote blood circulation and strengthen your "detoxification" function.
10. Don't lose your temper, or your body will release too much adrenaline and pollute your mind. 1 1. Natural herbal tea not only has various relaxing effects, but also the process of brewing herbal tea is leisurely and elegant, and it is also a process of purifying the body and mind.
12. When taking a bath, gently brush your body with a soft brush in a circular way, which is helpful to accelerate blood circulation and discharge toxins.
13. When taking a bath, you can order some aromatherapy oils with "detoxification" effect, such as rosemary, geranium and lemon. Indoor steam can strengthen the absorption of aromatherapy essence, and at the same time let your body and mind be relieved.
14. Green plants are definitely the backbone of the "detoxification" project. Small potted plants should be placed on desks, dressing tables and even bathrooms to increase the concentration in the air and purify the polluted air.
15. Heat is an important element of "detoxification", which can help you expel water and toxins from your body and achieve the effect of deep cleaning. So hot water bath or steam bath is a good way to "detoxify". Especially after exercise, the effect is more obvious.
16. After soaking in a hot bath, immediately shower with cold water. The contraction of one cold and one hot can increase the circulation of blood and lymph, and also strengthen the effect of excretion.
17. Drinking a cup of warm water brewed with coarse salt every morning is the easiest way to "detoxify".
18. Facial massage is the best way to detoxify and beautify. Before applying skin care products every night, press your thumb under your cheekbones and gently massage with your index finger. If it is used together with appropriate massage products, the effect will be better.
19. Negative thoughts are the most poisonous. When you are depressed, watching a comedy, buying a new dress or even eating a small cake are all emergency ways to detoxify.
20. When washing your hair, before applying shampoo, gently press it with your fingertips from the forehead to the back of your neck, and repeat it several times, which can accelerate the blood circulation of the scalp and help eliminate toxins.
