How to drink fruit and vegetable juice to detoxify and clear the stomach

If you really want to rely on fruit and vegetable juice to help regulate your gastrointestinal condition, you must first avoid the IQ pitfall of "fasting and only drinking juice". The safest way to drink it is to drink it half an hour after a meal, or to replace high-oil and high-sugar snacks such as milk tea and puffed food in the afternoon. Drink it for up to 3 consecutive days a week. A single serving of 200-300ml is enough. More will put a burden on the body.

Two years ago, I followed the Internet celebrity and tried the 7-day fasting fruit and vegetable juice package. It cost more than 600 yuan. In the first two days, the frequency of bowel movements increased. I seemed to have lost two pounds. On the third day, I started to suffer from acid reflux and nausea. I couldn’t even climb stairs. I went to the hospital and was diagnosed with hypoglycemia and electrolyte imbalance. The doctor scolded me directly and said that there is no such thing as "detoxification" or "defecation" in medicine. The essence of so-called gastrointestinal cleansing is to speed up intestinal peristalsis and reduce the residence time of food residues. The scales lost by fasting and drinking juice are basically water and muscles, and it has nothing to do with detoxification or not.

There has been a lot of debate in the circle about whether to filter the residue and heat the fruit and vegetable juice. Fitness parties all recommend drinking it raw with the residue, saying that it can retain complete dietary fiber and active enzymes, and has the best effect on promoting peristalsis. I tried eating heavy butter hot pot the night before, and the next morning I mixed half a kale, 1/4 apple, and a small half of a sweet potato and made 250ml of juice. I drank it with the residue. I had normal bowel movements at noon and my stomach was not bloated. It really worked. But my mother has a chronic stomach disease, and drinking raw cold fruit and vegetable juices will cause stomach pain. The spleen and stomach doctor suggested that she steam carrots, pumpkins, apples and other ingredients for two or three minutes before beating them, and add less cooling celery and bitter chrysanthemum. Drinking warm ones can also promote metabolism. She drank it for more than half a month, and her constipation was relieved a lot. In fact, there is no standard answer at all. Only what suits her body type will work.

Last time, my colleague wanted to quickly cleanse his intestines and take wedding photos. He drank two kilograms of celery juice on an empty stomach at one time. Within two hours after drinking it, he felt dizzy and panicked. He was sent to the emergency room for a checkup because his blood potassium was high and he almost had an accident. The more "greasy" the food is, and the larger the drink, the better the effect, especially if the kidney function itself is problematic. People, the potassium and oxalic acid in fruits and vegetables cannot be metabolized, which will increase the burden on the body. There are also those that filter the juice cleanly. It tastes sweet when you drink it. In fact, most of it is fructose, which raises blood sugar quickly. Without the blessing of dietary fiber, the effect of promoting peristalsis is greatly reduced. Drinking too much will make you easy to gain weight.

All in all, fruit and vegetable juice is an auxiliary item to help reduce the burden on the gastrointestinal tract. If you really want the gastrointestinal comfort, staying up less late at night and eating two more mouthfuls of fresh vegetables is better than anything else. If you really want to drink it, just follow your own body feeling. If you feel comfortable, drink it two or three times a week. If you drink it and have acid reflux and diarrhea, stop immediately. Don't suffer the consequences of the "detoxification" gimmick promoted by the merchants.
