What foods are best for detoxification?

Abnormal detoxification function directly determines whether the human body can always maintain a healthy state. If the toxins in the body cannot be discharged normally, it may cause a series of problems in the body. Now many people are troubled by this problem and want to improve it through diet, but they don’t know which specific foods can work. Let’s take a look at the editor’s recommendations.

1. Lotus root. Raw lotus root is cold in nature and has the effect of clearing away heat and relieving restlessness. It is especially suitable for patients who develop "acne" due to blood heat. It has the effects of nourishing the stomach and yin, strengthening the spleen, replenishing qi and nourishing blood. The lotus root nodes between the lotus root segments are a good medicine. They have the effects of strengthening the spleen and appetite, nourishing blood, stopping bleeding, and can also improve complexion.

2. Sweet potato. Sweet potato is one of the best foods for detoxification. It contains a lot of antioxidant vitamin C and beta-carotene, and more than twice the amount of vitamin E as brown rice. It also contains more than 40% fiber, which can prevent constipation and eliminate stool.

3. Chinese cabbage. Eating Chinese cabbage properly can nourish the liver and detoxify, and can also clear away heat. The vitamins, minerals and dietary fiber in Chinese cabbage are all good. Chinese cabbage contains a large amount of crude fiber, which, after entering the human body and combining with fat, can prevent the formation of plasma cholesterol and promote the excretion of cholesterol metabolite bile acid from the body to reduce the formation of atherosclerosis and thus maintain blood vessel elasticity.

4. Garlic. The pungent smell of garlic is caused by allicin. Many studies have confirmed that allicin can maintain the activity of macrophages, increase the ability to kill bacteria, promote lymphocyte proliferation, avoid the accumulation of abdominal fat, and enhance the activity of detoxification enzymes in the liver. Special ingredients in garlic can reduce the concentration of lead in the body.

In short, there are many types of foods that can detoxify, and the effects are generally quite significant. The editor would like to remind everyone here that if you are taking a type of detoxification and beauty drug, it is best to stop taking it. Then you can eat more of the foods introduced in the article in your daily life, so as to avoid toxic side effects.
