"While understanding why organic food is good for the human body, I realize what crisis lurks in the food we usually eat unintentionally. 」
For example, pesticides contain substances suspected of "environmental hormones". If these substances are absorbed by the human body, they will affect the normal hormone operation. It may be the cause of infertility or endometrial lesions, or it may be the cause of abnormal reproductive organs, breast cancer, cervical cancer and so on. In addition, mental diseases such as depression, mental retardation, inattention, overreaction to stress, allergies, etc. , are considered to be related to such substances.
"There is a word called' intergenerational toxicity' in today's society. It refers to the situation that the toxins accumulated by the mother for many years are concentrated and received by the fetus. Therefore, from now on, female friends who may get married, have children and raise children in the future must not only know the ingredients, but also know how to choose the right ingredients. "
Of course, it is best if you can choose the ingredients made or processed by organic food. However, if practical issues such as time, convenience and cost are considered, there is no need to change all diets into organic ingredients.
"When we pay attention to what we eat into our bodies, we also try to understand what we excrete from our bodies. For example, fruits and vegetables contain ingredients that can automatically excrete harmful substances absorbed by the human body. Master the skills of making full use of the characteristics of food, making yourself beautiful without causing physical burden, and building a body and mind that is not easy to get sick. Understanding the characteristics of food and our way of eating is the first step towards our future health and beauty.

Four skills of eliminating body waste through healthy diet;
Tip 1/ excrete harmful metals from the body through "chelating vegetables"
For example, lead or cadmium contained in cigarette smoke, mercury contained in seafood, aluminum baking powder used for bread expansion, chemical additives in processed meat, etc. , will accumulate into various harmful minerals in the body.
At this time, it is necessary to use "chelating vegetables" to make these harmful substances difficult to be absorbed by the human body. For example, vegetables containing sulfur compounds (a phytochemical), such as onions, leeks, garlic and onions, or cauliflower and spinach, have good effects.
Tip 2/ Make good use of "vegetables with detoxification effect" to detoxify harmful substances.
The liver is an organ that decomposes various harmful substances that enter the body, such as alcohol, drugs or food additives. When the liver is efficient, it can quickly and effectively detoxify. We know that the fruits and vegetables with detoxification function are garlic, ginger, onion, cauliflower, cabbage, cabbage or radish, which are rich in ingredients that can enhance the detoxification function of the liver. In addition, things like turmeric, tomatoes or algae also have their effects.
Tip 3/ Eating dietary fiber helps to empty the stomach.
75% of harmful substances in the human body will be excreted with defecation. Once constipation occurs, harmful substances will accumulate in the body, and these toxins are likely to be absorbed by the human body, so it is necessary to eat more dietary fiber foods to prevent constipation. Because dietary fiber contains "water soluble dietary fiber" which can make defecation smooth, "water insoluble dietary fiber" can increase the amount of defecation. Ingredients rich in water-soluble dietary fiber can help relieve constipation, such as avocado, burdock, jute, okra, peas and carrots.
Tip 4: Peel and remove floating impurities before eating.
The most worrying thing about eating non-organic food is pesticide residues. Because pesticides almost exist on the surface of fruits and vegetables, even if they are washed with water before eating, it is safest to eat them without skin. In addition, vegetables such as ferns, spinach or burdock will produce foam impurities when cooking, which will affect nutrient absorption and is the root cause. It is suggested to boil or drain water, and use different methods to remove floating foam according to the characteristics of vegetables before eating.
