Detoxify and cleanse the intestines to remove a lot of residue

The flocculent, granular, messy-looking "slag" you pull out after detoxification and bowel cleansing are really not "intestinal toxins" or "stool" that have been accumulated for several years. Most of the time, it is either undigested food residues, dietary fiber clusters, or non-absorbable ingredients in colon cleansing products. In a few cases, it is mucosal tissue shed by normal intestinal metabolism. There is really no need to be excited about the toilet for a long time and feel that you have "detoxified successfully."

A while ago, I was cleaning up my mother’s health locker and found three or four types of intestinal cleansing enzymes from different origins. She even happily showed me a photo of the toilet she took last week and said that after drinking a certain internet-famous enzyme, she passed a lot of dark brown residue the next day. “It cleaned all the stool I had accumulated over the years. No wonder my waist has lost two centimeters recently.” I pulled her through the food records for three days. My dear, during those three days, she ate corn in the morning, celery mixed with fungus at noon, and half a red dragon fruit at night. Most of the residue was undigested corn seed husks, dragon fruit seeds, and gum and dietary fiber wrapped in fungus. Even if she didn't eat the enzyme, what she pulled out was almost the same. The enzyme at most just added some peristaltic ingredients to help it be excreted in advance. Speaking of which, there is a joke. I once had a friend who had to stuff his teeth with enoki mushrooms every time. After eating for three days in a row, he excreted a lot of filamentous residue. He thought he had worms in his stomach, so he went to the hospital to register. After the doctor saw it, he just told him to go back and eat less enoki mushrooms. We laughed for a long time.

Regarding the question of "whether deslagging is detoxification", there are actually quite different opinions in different fields. My friends from the gastroenterology department of Western medicine have complained to me about 800 times. There is no concept of "feces" and "intestinal toxins" in clinical practice. There will be food residues remaining in the intestines of healthy people for 1-3 days, and the intestinal mucosa will naturally renew and fall off every 3-7 days. It is normal metabolism to mix it and excrete it in the feces, and it has nothing to do with "detoxification". On the contrary, if you consume intestinal cleansing products containing anthraquinone laxatives indiscriminately for the purpose of "eliminating slag", it will not only destroy the balance of intestinal flora in the long run, but also lead to colonic melanosis in severe cases, which is not worth the gain.

But this does not mean that the "intestinal cleansing" in traditional health care is a complete IQ tax. An old Chinese medicine doctor I know said that in Chinese medicine, "the six internal organs are used to clear the bowels." If you usually have constipation, bloated stomach, or heavy breath, adjust your diet or use mild laxative methods. Afterwards, a lot of accumulated residue was successfully discharged, which is indeed a sign of "unblocked qi", and the overall condition of the person will become better in the future. However, there is no need to demonize the discharged things and call them "toxins". They are essentially metabolic wastes that you should have discharged.

A young girl born in 2000 came to me to ask about how to lose weight. In order to lose weight quickly, she ate the Internet celebrity's intestinal cleansing jelly for half a month. She could pull out a lot of black residue every day. She was still complacent after losing 6 pounds. As a result, she often suffered from stomachache and bowel borbory. She couldn't hold back after eating something cold. She went to the hospital for a colonoscopy. The doctor said that her intestinal flora was disordered. If she continued to eat the jelly for half a year, she would probably develop melanosis. Later, she stopped those products and took more than two months of conditioning to return to normal. Most of the "toxins" she thought were insoluble colloids added to jelly and intestinal mucosa that had been stimulated and shed by laxatives had nothing to do with detoxification.

If you really want to adjust the condition of your intestines, you don’t have to worry about whether the discharged residue looks good or not. Eat more spinach and celery with tendons, try to nibble the whole fruit without juicing, drink enough 1.5L of warm water every day, and develop the habit of defecation at a fixed time. This is more effective than any sky-high-priced bowel cleansing product. If you really haven't had a bowel movement for three or four days in a row, don't blindly search for tutorials on how to take laxatives. Go to the gastroenterology department of the hospital to see a doctor first. It's much more reliable than studying the composition of feces in front of the toilet.

Harmful, to put it bluntly, your intestines don’t have so many toxins to detoxify. If you can eat and poop regularly, it is the best way to detoxify.
