As long as there is no acid, bloating, pain, numbness and itching, and the physiological functions of various organs are normal, you can call it health. Let's look at mental health. Can bad emotions such as bad temper, irritability, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, depression and autism be called mental health? The answer is no! Therefore, more than 95% people in modern times are in the sub-health stage (including babies who may get jaundice at birth).

What causes the sub-health of modern people? The answer is simple. Is the living environment around us polluted? Are there any pesticides, fertilizers, preservatives, pigments, seasonings, lead and mercury toxins in the food we eat? These toxins enter the body with three meals a day, and it is difficult to eliminate various toxins such as viscera and glands, which accumulate over time and pose a great threat to people's health. Therefore, the way to maintain health should avoid producing toxins on the body and regularly eliminate toxins. The best way to get rid of toxins is to stop eating!
