Nutrition after cleansing the intestines: features, choice of products, indicative menu. Top products that cleanse the body more effectively than drugs

Human body has a natural detoxification system to get rid of toxins it accumulates from food and environment. Doctors and nutritionists debate whether a natural detoxification system is sufficient in an environment where we are exposed to many toxins every day due to poor environmental conditions. The majority still believes that “additional” help to the body in the form of a large amount clean water and certain foods are absolutely necessary. Daily mail published a list of 11 natural products detoxifying supplements that can be used in your daily diet to help cleanse your body.

2. Beetroot. The main “cleanser” of our body from toxins and other “unnecessary” substances is the liver. And beets naturally help detoxify the liver itself. Beets, like apples, contain a lot of pectin. Many doctors recommend constantly eating beets in all forms - boiled, baked, stewed, and using them in the preparation of savory dishes and desserts.

3. Celery. Indispensable for detoxification. It helps cleanse the blood and prevents deposits uric acid in joints, stimulates work thyroid gland and pituitary gland. Celery also acts as a mild diuretic, easing the functioning of the kidneys and bladder.

10. Carrots. Carrots and carrot juice help in the treatment of respiratory, skin diseases. Used in the treatment of anemia and regulate the menstrual cycle.

11. Water. All of our tissues and cells need water in order to function well. Even ours mental health depends on the amount of water we drink. When the body is dehydrated, it negatively affects all body functions. Modern man I lost the habit of drinking clean water, replacing it with coffee, tea, and sweet soda. As a result, in the United States, for example, about 75% of the population is chronically dehydrated. Thus, increasing water consumption (modern nutritionists consider 1.5 - 2 liters per day the norm) is an important task.

Diseases, poor quality nutrition, poor environment and bad habits- all these factors (in fact, there are many more of them) undermine the health of anyone, even a heroic organism. And although any body is capable of self-cleaning, it may happen that at a certain moment it ceases to cope with the flow of toxins and wastes - the body fails.
Then diseases begin, immunity decreases, as a result of which all kinds of viruses and bacteria begin to “take over” the body’s immune system.

Digestion is disrupted, nutrients are not fully absorbed, vitamin deficiency or anemia may develop.

Anemia can be caused by: iron deficiency or vitamin B12 deficiency

As a result of disruption of cell membranes due to damage to them by poisons and carcinogens, chronic diseases and even develop cancer.

• There is only one conclusion– you need to help your body: periodically cleanse it, increase your immunity and saturate it with vitamins and nutrients.

Frequent colds– this is one of the signs of decreased immunity and slagging in the body.

Of course, there are many “miracle pills” for cleansing the body, super-cocktails and youth pills, but let’s not rush. It is no secret that most of these drugs on our market are “dummies”, advertising gimmicks for money laundering, or even just poison that can lead to serious side effects.

Let's better pay attention to some natural food products, which are superior to any chemicals (even expensive ones) in terms of the effectiveness of cleansing and maintaining the body.

• And at the end of the post, an additional bonus is some recommendations on this topic from doctors.

Why are natural products (usually) better than “miracle chemistry”?

• Many tablets contain harmful chemicals and even narcotic substances;
• Even medical drug(dietary supplement) is made from natural products, yet it is inferior to the original in terms of energy.. A freshly picked apple is always healthier than dried, and even more so pharmaceutically processed apple extract;
• There is a high probability of running into a fake (especially in our market)
• Usually chemicals have many limitations and cause many side effects. As they say: “We treat one thing, and cripple another”;
• Unlike chemicals, natural products do not (mostly) have an addictive effect;
• Natural products act more gently on the body, naturally, without disrupting the functioning of the entire body. Even if you need it laxative effect– it’s better to have prunes or pumpkin than pills;
• The economic aspect is also important. Pharmacy drugs nowadays they are very expensive, and many times more expensive than cranberries, calendula or kefir.

This list can be continued indefinitely, but it is already clear that before using the “heavy artillery” of tablets, it is worth trying the no less effective and useful “Natural Products”.

I am not advocating giving up medications altogether. There are such serious problems with health, where you simply cannot do without the same antibiotics. I encourage you to pay attention and adopt some products and tips. P/S: For use, consult with doctors and nutritionists.

The large intestine cannot be classified as a glamorous part of our body, but the health of the entire body depends on it. It is the main one of the key “pipelines” in the waste elimination system and, if the slightest malfunction occurs in its operation, you need to urgently think about how to cleanse the intestines of toxins and protect yourself from diseases.

Infectious diseases of the kidney and urinary systems, constipation, fungal infections genitals and nails, bad smell from oral cavity and surface of the skin, spasmodic phenomena in the abdominal area, as a rule, signal existing problems of the excretory tract. Very often, diseases of the body begin with functional disorders these organs. This is not at all harmless, since colon cancer is one of the top three oncological diseases, and the mortality rate from it is even higher. The large intestine is a real processing “station”, an entire system for managing the removal of waste, unnecessary substances, and toxins. A clean, healthy colon clearly copes with its tasks and effectively cleanses the body, while a colon clogged with waste, on the contrary, pollutes it, as it allows toxins to be absorbed back into the blood and liver. All unnecessary residues must be eliminated from the body as quickly as possible (from 6 to 18 hours), otherwise bacteria and microorganisms will begin to multiply, which will inevitably lead to the development of diseases.

In order for the colon to always be in order, it is necessary to consume well-cleansed the right products. You don't have to choose at all to do this. special diets. Just add to your diet something that helps to constantly increase intestinal motility and perform functions to cleanse the body.

How to cleanse the intestines of toxins using natural products?

1. Fiber

In order for the body to be healthy and function properly, it is necessary to include foods containing a lot of fiber in your diet. It performs the role of a “good broom” perfectly, increasing the number of wave-like movements, thereby reducing the time it takes for waste to pass through. Fiber also helps retain moisture in the intestinal tissues, which significantly softens the excreted masses. Naturally rich in fiber are vegetables and fruits, legumes, seeds and nuts, and whole grain. Cellular fibers are not absorbed by the body and may or may not dissolve in water. The body needs both. Fiber with soluble properties good for preventing constipation. It helps to increase beneficial bacteria of an antibiotic nature, which suppress pathogenic formations and microorganisms in the intestines. In addition, it helps cleanse blood vessels from bad cholesterol and free passage through them nutrients. Healthy intestinal flora can prevent cancer in the colon area.

Natural foods with fiber

Tops this list flax-seed, which contains the largest amount of soluble and insoluble fibers. For an adult, the fiber requirement per day is approximately 25 grams. To get this amount of healthy fiber, it is enough to eat up to four tablespoons of flaxseed per day. You can replace flaxseed in your diet with legumes - beans, peas, as well as barley, strawberries, apples, citrus fruits, rice, which are also found to have a high fiber content.

To increase your intake of soluble and insoluble fiber, you should consume at least five servings of vegetables and fruits or more than six servings of whole grains daily. One serving of grain products is equal to a slice of bread or half a cup of cooked cereal.

To correct the situation, it is recommended to use dairy products like yogurt, kefir, fermented baked milk.

Inadequate drinking regime always leads to disruption of body functions and is the cause of many diseases. You need to drink a lot, up to 10 glasses a day. Preferably between meals or 20-30 minutes before them. Tea and coffee - don't count them. Clean water can only be replaced herbal infusions or undiluted fruit juices. Drink whenever you feel thirsty. Water helps cleanse the intestines, supports tissues in pure form and leads to good health.

5. Aloe

This is one of the few plants that helps to effectively cleanse the body of waste and toxins. By drinking at least 2 tablespoons of juice daily (morning and evening), you can cleanse your entire body, the entire vascular system and all organs.

• Strong acid formation - sweets, fish, meat, baked goods, coffee, cheese, eggs, smoked meats.
• Weak acid formation – fermented milk products, nuts, wholemeal flour.
• Strong alkali formation – fresh vegetables and fruits, green salad, potato.
• Weak alkali formation – dried fruits, mushrooms, milk.

Alkaline food promotes cleansing and produces minimal waste when digested. The ideal balance is 2/3 alkaline and 1/3 acidic foods.
