Doing this several times can eliminate all toxins from your body

In Western medicine, "poison" is considered to be a substance that, after entering the human body, causes chemical changes in the body and destroys body tissues. At the same time, the waste produced during the metabolism of substances such as fat, sugar, protein in the human body and food residues in the intestines are also one of the main sources of toxic substances. In traditional Chinese medicine, the concept of "poison" is broader, and all products metabolized in the body are called poison.

The human body's ways of excreting toxins are nothing more than urination, defecation, sweat, breathing, skin secretions, etc., and the most important are the first three. Especially when people have difficulty urinating and defecating, these "toxins" are most likely to accumulate in the body and affect the health of the body.

The visible impacts include acne on the skin, but the greater impact is on body functions, such as causing lesions in the liver, kidneys, and intestines. Excessive accumulation of triglycerides and cholesterol, which are normal substances in the human body, can also cause cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as arteriosclerosis.

Detoxification may not necessarily improve beauty

The more popular detoxification drugs on the market now include detoxification and beauty capsules, aloe vera capsules, etc. The main ingredients of the former are rhubarb, Glauber's salt, etc., and the latter is mainly aloe vera. In traditional Chinese medicine, these are laxatives and can help with bowel movements. Of course, these medicines not only cause laxative effects, but also contain tonic ingredients such as American ginseng.

Detoxification drugs are not suitable for everyone, and they work differently on different people. Young women with acne, elderly people suffering from constipation (difficult bowel movement), and even people from different regions and genders, take different detoxification drugs and should be treated differently under the guidance of a doctor.

Moreover, even if it is "detoxified", it does not necessarily mean "beauty". It can work for female acne caused by excessive accumulation of "toxins", but for acne caused by endocrine disorders in women, it will not help no matter how smooth the bowel movements are. For women with pale, gray complexion and weak qi, not only should they not have "diarrhea", but they should also replenish qi and blood in order to beautify themselves.

Long-term detoxification damages gastrointestinal function

Any medicine will have side effects if taken for a long time, especially detoxification drugs that mainly have a laxative effect. Long-term use of detoxifying laxatives will reduce intestinal reflex function and sensitivity, weaken intestinal peristalsis, impair digestive function, affect food digestion and absorption, and cause malnutrition and other consequences.

It is understood that if the rhubarb component in some detoxification drugs is taken for a long time, it is easy to cause secondary constipation, that is, it may form dependence, and once the drug is stopped, constipation will reappear.

Exercise is the best way to detox

In fact, people have many natural ways to detoxify, such as maintaining good sleeping habits, living a regular life, not overeating, and eating more vegetables and fruits containing crude fiber. Green vegetables and fruits are mostly alkaline, which can neutralize the excessive acidic substances produced by the intake of sugar, meat, eggs, etc. in the diet, and can also dissolve toxins accumulated in the cells. More importantly, good eating habits are conducive to forming good bowel and bladder excretion patterns, keeping intestinal function in a relatively good state.

There is also moderate exercise, such as walking, jogging, cycling, mountain climbing, swimming, etc., which can accelerate the gastrointestinal motility and increase blood circulation. At the same time, exercise often requires drinking water, which is more conducive to the excretion of "toxins" from the body through urination.
