Are the five well-known detoxification methods really effective? Let's take a look at the most popular detoxification methods on the market and see if they are really effective or just gimmicks.
First, large intestine hydrotherapy:
Colon hydrotherapy has many non-medical behaviors that flaunt intestinal cleaning, and also emphasizes the function of intestinal maintenance. Some people who have tried it say that it has the unexpected function of losing weight immediately after intestinal hydrotherapy.
This is completely different from the "* * *" used in medicine to detoxify or relieve intractable constipation. In fact, under normal circumstances, the large intestine does not need to be cleaned at all, because the large intestine itself is responsible for the excretion function and does not need external force. The so-called large intestine hydrotherapy, at best, is to clean up the feces left at the end of your large intestine.
Moreover, if the large intestine hydrotherapy is not handled properly, it is likely to cause the problems of intestinal bacteria imbalance and electrolyte disorder, and even lead to the danger of intestinal bleeding or rupture if the operator is not proper.
Second, the detoxification foot patch:
There are all kinds of foot stickers sold in pharmacies, especially many claiming to be made in Korea or Japan. The advertisements say that they can treat rheumatic leg pain and "absorb moisture and detoxify". The user put it on before going to bed, and when he got up the next morning, the foot pad became wet and black, as if it really sucked up all the water and toxins in the body, but this was not the case.
In fact, the foot patch contains bamboo vinegar, bamboo charcoal, and platycodon grandiflorum, and there are ingredients of "wood vinegar". As long as it encounters moisture, it will produce a "chemical reaction", which will change the mat from white to dark brown or even black. Therefore, the foot patch does not play the role of detoxification at all, but is soaked by the sweat generated by the soles of the feet, and the effect is completely psychological.
Third, detoxification health food:
There are many health foods on the market that claim to detoxify and beautify, saying that they can improve constipation, acne and pigmentation. However, it is circulated on the Internet that eating these health foods will cause symptoms such as rash, itching or swelling, which is a process of detoxification and improvement of physiological functions. But in fact, this is not the case at all. The US Food and Drug Administration of the Ministry of Health has publicly refuted that such health foods are not medicines and have no function of treating, alleviating or preventing diseases.
Fourth, * * * Lymphatic detoxification:
Many beauty and health clubs have the service of "lymphatic detoxification", claiming that lymph can achieve the effect of beauty and even detoxification, but this is also a boring stunt with no medical basis.
In fact, when the virus invades a certain part of the human body, the lymphocytes in the lymph nodes near the part will play an immune role against foreign germs, and the lymph nodes may have symptoms such as swelling, pain and inflammation. But when the bacteria are eliminated, the lymphoid group will naturally shrink. Lymphotoxin cannot be ruled out by simple * * * technology. Moreover, it is easy to damage lymphocytes by casually carrying out * * * on lymph nodes, which will lead to swollen lymph nodes.
Five, steam detoxification:
Many people like to use steam bath to make themselves sweat. I feel that the toxins in my body will be excreted with sweat, but this is not the case. In fact, no matter what method is used to achieve the effect of sweating, in fact, most of it is water, and a small part (less than 1%) is composed of sodium, potassium, calcium and chlorine. Urea nitrogen (BUN) can be slightly contaminated with toxins, but urea nitrogen is mainly excreted through urine, and the amount excreted in sweat is very small.
And staying in the steam bath room for too long may lead to dehydration or dizziness, and some people with low blood sugar are not suitable for steam bath.
How to detoxify yourself healthily? After reading the above five kinds of fake gimmicks for detoxification, we should know that normal people actually don't need to deliberately "detoxify". If they want to maintain normal detoxification, they should cherish the natural detoxification system including liver, kidney, lung and other organs, do not abuse drugs, and do not spend money on useless healthy food. The most important thing is to maintain a balanced and healthy diet and develop regular exercise habits. These are platitudes, but they are the best help to the human body.
