With the progress of industrial technology, there are more and more toxic elements in the environment! They invade and accumulate in the human body through various channels, which is not only harmful to health, but also leads to aging! How to eliminate the negative effects of heavy metals? Let Hou Rongyuan, an expert from the American Institute of Anti-aging, explain it to you in detail!

Where does "heavy metal" come from?

Dr. Hou Rongyuan said that heavy metals are ubiquitous in the living environment, including air, drinking water, food and direct contact with daily necessities. , may contain heavy metals. For example, people in Taiwan Province Province drank groundwater for a long time in their early years, which led to arsenic poisoning; Large deep-sea fish may contain "mercury" because the marine environment is polluted; The content of "lead" in paint is too high, which will affect hematopoietic function after contact; In addition, the suspended particulate matter "PM2.5" in the air may carry heavy metals, which is not only harmful to the respiratory system, but also may increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Common sources and hazards of heavy metals in Taiwan Province Province are as follows:

Worryingly, most of the heavy metals are cumulative. After being absorbed by the human body, they will accumulate in tissues such as fat, bones, brain and cardiovascular system, and it is difficult to eliminate them naturally. Although the initial symptoms are not obvious, after a long-term accumulation to a certain extent, it will cause "chronic metal poisoning", which will cause depression, fatigue, skin allergy, memory loss and other physical discomfort symptoms. Dr. Hou Rongyuan pointed out that because these symptoms are not specific, they are not easy to be associated with heavy metal pollution at first, so they only go to other specialties for examination, thus delaying the treatment opportunity, which is more likely to lead to "three highs", cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and even irreversible injuries such as intellectual damage, low immunity, hormone imbalance and reproductive difficulties in the later stage.

Accept heavy metal testing and really master your physical condition.

Dr. Hou Rongyuan said that in addition to receiving regular health checks every year, if you always feel unwell at ordinary times, but you can't find the exact reason, you can start with "heavy metal testing". Clinics with functional medicine and anti-aging clinics can receive relevant tests at their own expense. There are three detection methods:

Hair analysis

By measuring the contents of nutrients and toxic elements (heavy metals) in hair, we can know whether there is imbalance of nutrients and excessive exposure of toxic elements. Because the detection process is easy to be polluted, resulting in a large error, so few clinics use this method to detect at present.

Urine analysis

Six toxic elements (mercury, lead, arsenic, nickel, aluminum and cadmium) in urine were analyzed. Chelating agent (DMSA 500mg) can be taken nine hours before urine collection to detect whether the six heavy metals accumulated in the body are too high.

Blood analysis

The concentrations of toxic elements (heavy metals) and nutrient elements in red blood cells are measured, and the analysis results can reflect the short-term (three months) element stock and exposure.

Chelation therapy can restore body function.

If you eat the right food, detoxification will be smoother.

If you find that the content of heavy metals in your body is too high, you can accept "chelation therapy" to detoxify. The method is to let patients take oral chelating agents, such as DMSA or intravenous EDTA, to chelate harmful heavy metals in the body to make them safe chelates, and then excrete them through the gastrointestinal tract or kidneys to help restore the body's function.

In terms of diet, Dr. Hou Rongyuan also has relevant suggestions. The consumption of tuna, swordfish, salmon and shark should be reduced to avoid the accumulation of heavy metals; Eat more cruciferous vegetables rich in phytochemicals (such as broccoli, cabbage, Chinese cabbage, etc.). ) and onions and garlic containing "sulfur compounds" help to strengthen the detoxification function of the liver, thus promoting metabolism, enhancing immunity and detoxifying more smoothly.

Eliminating heavy metals at the root is the biggest key.

Dr. Hou Rongyuan further reminded that contact with heavy metals or exposure to toxic environment of heavy metals should be avoided as far as possible. "Because eliminating the source of heavy metals is the most important key! Reducing the frequency of dyeing hair, avoiding cooking food with aluminum pot, filling teeth with silver powder and not touching volatile liquids are all details that need attention in daily life. If you have to be in a heavy metal environment because of work needs, you should receive relevant detoxification courses in addition to regular testing every year in order to effectively maintain your health.

Want to get better? In addition to regular work and rest, moderate exercise and balanced diet, regular heavy metal analysis and testing can not only help us understand the state of various functions of the body, but also help us find latent diseases at an early stage. It is not an empty talk to delay aging, and it is not a dream to find health again!
