If toxins are not eliminated from the body, obesity will result, the most prominent manifestation of which is a protruding lower abdomen. Toxins come from three sources: First, external factors such as viruses, bacteria, air pollution, water pollution, and food contamination. Second, toxins produced internally by the body during metabolism. Third, toxins resulting from the interaction of internal and external factors; adverse external environments interfere with normal physiological functions, causing nervous system disorders and endocrine imbalances, leading to the production of toxins in the body.
When toxins invade the body, people need to learn how to detoxify themselves, just like washing their face and cleaning every day.
1. Go outdoors every morning to breathe fresh air and clear phlegm from your lungs, thus "cleaning" your lungs.
2. Develop the habit of regular bowel movements to eliminate food residue. Constipation causes feces to remain in the large intestine for too long, producing toxins and increasing the risk of colon cancer.
3. Drink plenty of water to flush out toxins through urine. Drinking a glass of water on an empty stomach in the morning dilutes the blood and helps flush out toxins, which can also help prevent cerebral thrombosis in the elderly. Because of their slower physiological responses, older adults should drink plenty of water even when they don't feel thirsty.
4. Engage in regular physical activity and sweat during exercise to expel toxins through sweat.
5. Eat more detoxifying foods, such as cabbage, spinach, leeks, carrots, pumpkin, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, soybeans, garlic, kelp, and mung beans.
Everyone must learn to detoxify themselves, reduce the retention of toxins in the body, thereby reducing disease, improving health, and achieving the goal of longevity.
