Smart Dietary Planning After Holidays
During holidays, tables overflow with chicken, duck, fish, meat, and gourmet delicacies, satisfying many palates. However, overindulgence produces harmful toxins that the body cannot metabolize. Consequently, some people experience symptoms like heatiness, bad breath, bloating, indigestion, and constipation. If these toxins remain in the intestines long-term, they get reabsorbed into the body, endangering health. Therefore, after holidays, people should eat more foods that detoxify and lubricate the intestines.
Magic Root (Konjac): Also known as "ghost yam," traditionally called "Snake Six Grain" in Chinese medicine. It’s a renowned "intestinal cleaner" and "blood purifier," effectively removing waste from intestinal walls and preventing constipation.
Black Fungus: The plant gelatin in black fungus has strong adsorption power, capturing impurities left in the digestive system and cleansing the blood.
Seaweed: Alginic acid in seaweed slows the absorption of radioactive strontium in the intestines, promoting its excretion—helping prevent leukemia. Additionally, it aids in expelling toxic cadmium from the body.
Pork Blood: When digested, plasma proteins in pork blood break down into substances that detoxify and lubricate the intestines. These bind with dust and metal particles entering the body, forming insoluble compounds that are expelled directly, offering dust removal, intestinal cleaning, and laxative effects.
Apples: Galacturonic acid in apples aids detoxification; pectin prevents food fermentation in the intestines, avoiding toxin formation; soluble fiber promotes bowel movement.
Strawberries: Help generate saliva, moisten dryness, and aid digestion. Multiple organic acids, fibers, pectin, and minerals clean the intestines and relieve constipation.
Brown Rice: Known as the "intestinal cleaner," brown rice adsorbs toxins in the gut and expels them during elimination.
