“Our bodies have the function of self-cleaning garbage from the very beginning of being ‘designed’. However, we need to stimulate them in the right way.” American best-selling authors Joe Scarman and Julie Perez emphasized the importance of forming good living habits to detoxify the body in their book self-cleaning co authored last year. Recently, Gaia life.com in the United States summarized their ideas into eight recommendations for readers.
1. Eat more green food to help defecate dark green vegetables are rich in antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and other phytonutrients. Their anti-inflammatory effects can keep the immune system active. Green vegetables are also rich in dietary fiber, which helps promote defecation and ensure the discharge of toxins. Therefore, spinach, kale, lettuce, beet and other vegetables can be mixed with a small amount of sauce and eaten as salad, or these vegetables can be squeezed into juice by adding water. Shen Yanying, a clinical science expert of the health and Family Planning Commission and Affiliated Beijing Chaoyang Hospital of Capital Medical University, pointed out that fruits are also rich in dietary fiber and have a higher vitamin content. Therefore, eating more fruits will have similar benefits. For example, bananas, peaches, pears, mangoes, blueberries, etc. can be mixed and juiced for consumption.
2. Eat less high-energy food to promote metabolism eat less sugar and processed foods, such as high sugar biscuits, bread, or cheese, because these foods will hinder the working speed of various systems of the body and affect metabolism. You can make a little change by eating only a small piece at a time and then filling your stomach with other healthier foods. For example, use celery mixed with chickpeas and spinach mixed with peanut instead of cheese. Try it for two weeks to see what happens to your body.
3. Optimize food mix and balance absorption and metabolism 80% of body energy comes from our daily diet; At the same time, we need to keep our balance by discharging garbage. Combining foods that are easy to absorb and excrete is best for the body to maintain a good working condition. The combination often used by people, such as meat and potatoes, eggs with bacon, chicken with rice, will increase the burden on the body and is not worth recommending; Mainly vegetables, with protein or pure grains is a better choice. Fruit is recommended to be eaten on an empty stomach, especially not just after dessert.
4. Eating only eight percent full is beneficial to digestion. Eat eight minutes full and leave two minutes free in other words, when you feel that your stomach is not full, but your enthusiasm for food has declined, you need to stop. This way of eating is not only beneficial to the health of the intestines and stomach, but also makes the body run like a machine with enough lubricating oil. In addition, this habit can offset some of the adverse effects caused by eating junk food, and provide insurance for your occasional indulgence.
