[Reprinted] How harmful are toxins in the body to human health?

In fact, there are many kinds of toxins around us, and it is difficult to have a systematic classification. According to China's theory of traditional Chinese medicine, there are the following. Poison of food accumulation: Chinese medicine theory holds that the digestion, absorption and transportation of food are completed by the spleen and stomach. If the spleen and stomach are dysfunctional, food will not be easily digested and utilized by human tissues. After a long time, indigestion will brew into toxins, further damaging the spleen and stomach, leading to poor appetite, chest tightness, belching, pantothenic acid, poor stool, facial acne and other adverse symptoms. Drug poisoning: We have a saying: "The right medicine". Drugs themselves are used to treat diseases, but if the methods of drugs are not used properly, they will not only fail to achieve the expected therapeutic effect, but will become harmful toxins, such as taking some over-the-counter drugs for a long time. Usually taking over-the-counter drugs is to relieve symptoms such as headache, sneezing or runny nose, but almost all over-the-counter drugs will bring great pressure to the liver, and many drugs will be addictive after long-term use, which means that to maintain the same curative effect, it is necessary to continuously increase the dosage of drugs, and even withdrawal symptoms will occur after stopping taking drugs. This is the truth that "three drugs are toxic". Dampness toxin: the pathological product produced by the disorder of water-liquid metabolism in the body is water dampness, which may be harmful to the human body if measures are not taken in time to excrete it. Wet poison is harmful, it will hinder blood circulation, and it is sticky. Once a bad disease is caused, it is easy to relapse and not easy to recover. Common symptoms in our daily life, such as dysuria, diarrhea, acne, eczema, or unexplained physical fatigue, are closely related to dampness toxin. Cold toxin: there are many sources of cold toxin, and various factors lead to excessive deficiency of yin and yang, which will produce more or less cold toxin. The blood in the human body is unobstructed when it is warm and stagnant when it is cold. When there is stagnant cold toxin in the body, the blood circulation in human blood vessels will be blocked, which will seriously cause malignant diseases such as blood stasis or vascular infarction. Heat toxin: Contrary to cold toxin, due to various factors, yin deficiency and yang hyperactivity in the body will produce so-called heat toxin. Chinese medicine says that liver fire and heartburn are all due to the influence of heat toxin. In addition, diseases such as bitter taste, bad breath, sore throat, greasy dirt on the face, acne, nosebleeds, sweaty hands and feet, dry stool, hemorrhoids, bloody stool, etc. are mostly caused by heat toxin. Congestion: Blood in blood vessels stagnates, and normal circulation cannot be formed, which will lead to congestion. When congestion occurs, the blood circulation loses its normal physiological function, which will be toxic to the human body. In fact, the types of toxins are far more than these. In addition to the above, modern medicine also summarizes insect poison, sugar poison, lipid poison, urine poison, dung poison and so on. Where do human toxins come from? Where does the toxin come from? I know what a toxin is, so where does it come from? Generally speaking, toxins can be divided into exogenous toxins and endogenous toxins. Only by knowing the true source of many toxins can we better formulate corresponding detoxification measures and reduce the harm to the body. Toxins from food In order to maintain survival, physical growth, development and normal physiological functions, people must constantly ingest enough food from the environment, and through digestion, absorption and metabolism, the nutrients in it will be transformed into a part of themselves. In today's increasingly pursuit of a healthy life, "illness from the mouth" has been given a deeper meaning. "Illness from the mouth" not only refers to the adverse effects of improper eating habits on health, but also includes infectious diseases or toxins contained in certain foods, such as meat containing hormones, vegetables containing a lot of pesticides, and various additives in soy sauce and vinegar. If this unhealthy food is eaten in the stomach, toxins will accumulate in the body and will definitely cause harm. All kinds of vegetables, fruits, etc. Some chemical pesticides and pesticides may be absorbed during the growth process. In addition, they may be contaminated by many harmful pathogens during fertilization, processing and transportation. When people eat these things, it is easy to eat toxins and pathogens into their stomachs, leading to a series of chronic diseases, such as sores, bad breath and constipation. These are all signals that endotoxin begins to accumulate in large quantities. Moreover, all kinds of high-sugar and high-fat foods and food additives may also lead to different cardiovascular diseases, which seriously endanger human health. Usually, it is best to take some reliable methods to remove residual pesticides before eating all kinds of vegetables and fruits: repeatedly cleaning or soaking for more than half an hour; If you can peel, try to peel before eating; When eating cooked food, there are often residual pathogens in raw food; Try to eat more natural foods and eat less foods containing various additives. In daily life, many things have the effect of detoxification, such as bitter gourd, bitter tea and other bitter foods can detoxify; Tomatoes can clear away heat and toxic materials, induce diuresis and reduce swelling; Luffa has the functions of clearing away heat, cooling blood, detoxifying and promoting blood circulation; Cucumber and bamboo shoots can clear away heat and induce diuresis; Celery can clear away heat and promote diuresis, and cool serum and liver fire. In addition, carrots, garlic, mushrooms, sweet potatoes, taro, potatoes and so on. It also has a significant effect on cleaning the intestines. Nowadays, people's living standards are getting higher and higher, but there are more and more inexplicable diseases, and the demand for drugs is also increasing. However, it is worth noting that all drugs have certain toxicity. Long-term clinical research shows that people who take drugs for a long time or use drugs improperly will accumulate a large number of drugs in their bodies, causing drug-induced malnutrition. In addition, some drugs will seriously interfere with the absorption, synthesis, metabolism and excretion of certain nutrients. Once the human body accumulates too many toxins, these toxins will gradually reduce the normal functions of various tissues and organs, destroy the immunity to diseases, make the body gradually weak, and thus cause diseases. Drugs deposited in the blood circulation system are also very likely to cause various complications, such as extremely fatal cardiovascular diseases, such as blood vessel blockage. If some tonics are taken for a long time or taken in excess, they will also have certain toxicity and adverse side effects, which will endanger health. This is what we often say: "Tonic drugs are toxic, so are drugs". In addition, in recent years, the incidence of diseases caused by drug poisoning is also increasing year by year. There are sulfonamides and some broad-spectrum antibiotics in daily life. Long-term use will obviously inhibit the growth of normal flora in the intestine, which is caused by the reproduction and secondary infection of some other pathogenic bacteria. In order to avoid the accumulation of drugs in the body to the greatest extent, we should accumulate more knowledge about the use of drugs in our daily life and take less medicine as far as possible. After all, only actively enhancing one's immunity is the best way to fight diseases. If you must use drugs, don't refuse to use the corresponding drugs because you are afraid of drug toxicity. At this time, we should adjust our diet and living habits according to the possible side effects of drugs. If necessary, we can take some vitamins or eat some foods rich in minerals. Toxic gases in the air are an important source of oxygen for human survival. If the body wants to maintain normal physiological activities, it must constantly exchange gas with the external environment. The air in nature is extremely important for human survival, but now the air is filled with a large number of harmful gases produced in human life, containing all kinds of toxins harmful to human body. There are three main sources of toxins in the air: first, the pollution caused by human daily life, mainly from various chemical fuels and various service industries burned by urban residents, such as cooking, heating, bathing, etc., which will emit a lot of pollutants into the air when burning; Second, industrial pollution, pollutants discharged into the air by factories and various mines in various production activities; Third, traffic pollution sources, exhaust gas emitted by vehicles such as automobiles during operation is an important source of air pollution. Generally speaking, the main pollutants in the air are carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, sulfur dioxide, lead, ozone and various suspended solid particles. After these pollutants are inhaled by the human body, various toxins will enter the capillary-dense lungs with the respiratory tract and penetrate into the blood circulation system, which will bring great harm to health. Studies have confirmed that after inhaling a lot of harmful gases, the secretion of immunoglobulin in the respiratory tract will be significantly reduced, and the body's ability to kill bacteria and viruses will also be greatly reduced. In addition, various harmful bacteria and viruses will absorb nutrients from the body after invading the respiratory tract, which may cause malignant inflammation of various respiratory systems and even cancer. For women, it is a good choice to often make a mask to help the skin remove a lot of toxins blocked in pores; If you have the habit of smoking, or are often in polluted air, you should supplement some vitamins and water appropriately, which has a significant effect on improving immunity. Toxins from family environment have always been the focus of attention. The frequent childhood leukemia in recent years is said to be related to this. According to authoritative investigation, hundreds of volatile harmful substances can be detected in indoor air at most, which is dozens of times higher than the toxin content in outdoor air. People spend most of their lives indoors, so the quality of home environment is closely related to people's life and health. There are many sources of toxins in the family environment. Household appliances such as TV, washing machine, refrigerator, computer, mobile phone and microwave oven, which are indispensable in our life, will produce a lot of noise and radiation; Interior decoration materials, all kinds of furniture, kitchen utensils, detergents, disinfectants, insecticidal sprays, etc. Will produce a lot of harmful gases; Indoor decorations, carpets, sofas, bedding, clothes, plush toys, as well as domestic squid, cats and dogs will be parasitic with various bacteria and parasites. In the past, people didn't know much about electromagnetic radiation in life, and the adverse effects on it were also in a state of debate. However, recent research shows that the human body's tolerance to radioactive substances is limited, and exceeding the tolerance limit of the human body will be harmful. The high radioactivity of building decoration materials has always been a common problem in interior decoration. Radioactive substances in decoration materials can directly affect the health of consumers, especially children, the elderly and pregnant women, seriously damage their immune system, and can induce chronic radiation sickness similar to leukemia. In addition, people who stay indoors for a long time often have symptoms such as general malaise, stuffy nose, dizziness, headache, fatigue and nausea. These symptoms are also largely caused by various toxins in the room. Comparatively speaking, indoor air circulation is poor, so it is best not to smoke indoors, and the oil temperature should not be too high when cooking. It is necessary to ensure that the range hood is always in normal working condition, so as to ensure that the dirty air in the room can be discharged in time and reduce the harm of toxins in the air to the human body. In addition, frequent window ventilation is also an effective means to remove indoor toxins. Some vegetables and fruits in life also have good detoxification effect. Usually eat more melons, apples, bananas, pears, pineapples, loofahs and other foods, and the detoxification effect is remarkable. Plant some plants that can absorb toxins indoors, such as cactus, cactus, chlorophytum, tiger orchid, aloe, agave and so on. It not only beautifies the home environment, but also benefits the health. Toxic water in water is called the source of life. Water plays an important role as a carrier in the life process of an organism. Through the circulation of body fluids, amino acids, glucose, lipids, vitamins, hormones, enzymes, oxygen and other essential nutrients are distributed throughout the body, supplying various cells and tissues, and taking away many metabolic wastes, which plays a very important role in maintaining human life. Because of this, it also laid a hidden danger for the later health. In recent years, with the development of industry, water pollution has become a worldwide problem, which has a serious negative impact on human health and development. Among them, domestic sewage and industrial wastewater are often discharged into the natural environment without restraint, which always threatens the safety of drinking water. We all use treated tap water in our daily life, but the ultimate source of tap water is reservoirs, rivers or streams, which have been infringed by pollution sources for a long time. The same is true for domestic water. Although after simple treatment, the residual micro pollutants can not be completely removed after simple treatment, and will be polluted by pipelines in the later transportation process. Various toxic substances, pollutants, radioactive substances or harmful microorganisms will also endanger our health. Water is not only an important carrier to maintain the normal physiological function of the body, but also contains a large number of trace elements and minerals needed by the human body. Drinking pure water for a long time will lead to a series of diseases, such as heart disease, hypertension, stroke and so on. The quality of water quality is closely related to people's health and life span. Drinking water polluted by chemical poisons can often cause acute and chronic poisoning; If the drinking water contains low concentrations of phenols, it will also cause dizziness, insomnia, anemia, memory loss, rash and other chronic poisoning symptoms; Drinking cyanide-containing water for a long time will cause delayed changes in nerve cells such as headache, dizziness and palpitation. If the sanitary condition of water source is poor and bacteria and parasites breed, it may cause dysentery, typhoid fever, cholera, infectious hepatitis, ascariasis, schistosomiasis and other diseases. There is a saying in our life: "medicine is better than food, and food is better than water." This shows the importance of water to health. As far as the current technical conditions are concerned, there is no particularly effective method to completely remove toxic and harmful pollutants in water. In order to protect health, it is necessary to know some necessary knowledge to distinguish water quality. So how can we tell whether water is good or bad? Generally speaking, there are several standards for truly clean water: the PH value is weakly alkaline or moderate, and weakly alkaline is the best; Water should contain proper amount of minerals needed by human body; The content of dissolved oxygen and carbon dioxide in water should be moderate; There are no pathogenic bacteria and microorganisms in the water; Not polluted by waste water. Bad habits can produce toxins. As we all know, living habits are very important to a person's health. In fact, it is because bad living habits can lead to organ dysfunction and produce toxins. In the process of metabolism, nutrients such as fat, protein and sugar absorbed from the outside will produce metabolic wastes, that is, endogenous toxins. Eating greasy food such as meat regularly or eating irregularly will weaken the function of the digestive system and make the toxins in the body unable to be discharged normally. In addition, lack of exercise and irregular life will disrupt the normal physiological balance of various organs and greatly reduce the detoxification ability in the body. Furthermore, being in a state of high pressure for a long time, the human body will secrete too many hormone toxins, which will lead to pathological changes, such as the occurrence of cancer, which is often closely related to poor mental state. Several bad habits that may lead to the accumulation of toxins in the body: overeating when you are in a bad mood or out of control; Drink more water after meals, often eat overheated and supercooled food, eat fruit immediately after meals, and have an irregular diet; Unreasonable diet structure, excessive intake of fat, sugar, salt and cholesterol, insufficient intake of plant food and fresh food. In our daily life, "junk food" that fills the dining table is also a way to produce toxins. "Junk food" refers to food that has destroyed at least 90% of the nutrients in natural food through fine processing and high temperature processing, and even completely eliminated enzymes, other active substances and energy in food. Fast food or convenience food often contains a lot of preservatives, additives and some harmful flavors and seasonings, which are not good for health if eaten frequently. Effects of toxins on health 1. Toxins that cannot be excreted in time and are reabsorbed by the body will cause human poisoning and cause many diseases. Once the toxin in the body is formed, it can not only block the qi movement, but also hinder the normal operation of blood, so that the blood in the human body runs slowly, thus forming congestion. Some people in life have dark faces and blue lips, which are all manifestations of blood stasis in the body. Under the influence of these toxins, people may have symptoms such as mental fatigue and shortness of breath, while people with serious diseases may lead to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as arteriosclerosis, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, hyperviscosity, coronary heart disease and cerebral thrombosis. 2, affecting the metabolic balance, a large number of toxin residues can not be discharged from the body, which may lead to energy metabolism imbalance and excessive heat production. You know, if you are too hot, you will get angry and consume yin and body fluid. Under normal circumstances, people will have symptoms such as itchy skin, dryness, dry stool and flour beans due to metabolic imbalance. 3. Toxins that affect the function of viscera enter the body, which will destroy the normal function of human viscera and lead to systemic or local lesions. The essence in the kidney of normal healthy people has the ability to regulate the whole body yin and yang, and once the toxin enters the kidney, it will cause kidney deficiency, lead to the imbalance of yin and yang in the body, and cause the decline or excess of yin and yang. If yin deficiency is flourishing, people will have symptoms such as dry skin, itching, dry stool and dry mouth. Yang deficiency leads to colds, and people will have dull complexion, cold limbs and diarrhea. 4, affecting mental state As the saying goes: "All diseases are poisonous, no matter what kind of virus, no matter whether the toxin is invaded from outside or endogenous, it will cause harm to the human body. Now medicine believes that some poisons act on people's central nervous system and endocrine system, which will not only affect people's mental state, cause insomnia, mental disorder and mental retardation, but also lead to emotional variation, such as indifference, unhappiness, anxiety and irritability. 5, affect beauty beauty facial pigmentation and skin aging will affect beauty, and toxins in the body is one of the important factors leading to skin problems. Various toxins can act on hypothalamus, pituitary gland, adrenal axis and other parts, leading to an increase in corticosteroids, resulting in senile plaques, chloasma and so on. Moreover, toxins can also promote the production of free radicals, which is one of the important reasons for the increase of facial wrinkles, skin aging and beauty. 6. accelerating human aging causes human aging, which is nothing more than qi and blood imbalance, yin and yang imbalance and visceral dysfunction. The function of coordinating yin-yang balance and zang-fu organs will gradually weaken with age. If people are attacked by toxins such as exogenous toxins and endogenous toxins for a long time, the imbalance between yin and yang will accelerate, thus affecting the absorption and transformation of nutrients and the discharge of toxins, damaging viscera and tissues, reducing their functions, and leading to premature aging of the human body. 2- 1 Original address: How harmful are toxins in the body to human health? ) Comments (0)
