What are the signs that your body needs to detox?

It is definitely not good to have too many toxins accumulated in the body, because too many toxins will not only affect the body, but also the skin will be affected to a certain extent. People who love beauty definitely don't want this. In this case, detoxification has become something people must do in their lives, but they don’t know when is the best time to detoxify. So, what exactly are the signals that the body needs to detoxify?

"constipate"

Defecation is the most important way for the human body to detoxify, and usually occurs once a day. If you have irregular bowel movements, or are constipated, or even if the interval between bowel movements is more than 3 days, it means that there is old stool in your intestines. When feces remain in the intestines, harmful substances are reabsorbed, which can cause gastrointestinal nerve dysfunction and lead to symptoms such as loss of appetite, gastrointestinal discomfort, abdominal distension, bitter taste in the mouth, and frequent flatus, and can even induce colon cancer. The most important way to remove toxins from the body is to adjust your diet, increase your intake of dietary fiber, and increase your exercise. Do not take laxatives or colon cleansing lightly, otherwise it will easily lead to intestinal dysfunction.

"Bad breath"

Bad breath is mostly caused by heat accumulation in the lungs, spleen, and stomach, or undigested food. These things become toxins when they accumulate in the body over a long period of time. Overeating spicy food or binge eating, excessive fatigue, internal heat stagnation, or certain oral diseases such as oral ulcers, caries and digestive system diseases can all cause bad breath.

To solve the problem of bad breath, you should first pay more attention to oral hygiene and develop the habit of rinsing your mouth after meals; secondly, you should regulate your stomach and intestines, eat more light food, and keep your bowel movements smooth.

"chloasma"

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that chloasma is interrelated with organ dysfunction, disharmony of qi and blood, imbalance of yin and yang, and is inseparable from liver depression, spleen deficiency, and kidney deficiency. These three factors can lead to the accumulation of toxins and the appearance of chloasma.

Pay attention to scientific diet, eat more fruits, a diet mainly composed of fresh vegetables and high-protein, low-fat foods, eat less spicy and other irritating foods, and pay attention to sun protection when going out.

Acne

The most direct cause of acne is clogged pores. The oil in the hair follicles cannot be discharged, so it accumulates more and more and finally forms acne. Western medicine believes that acne is mainly related to endocrine disorders, while traditional Chinese medicine believes that acne is mostly caused by overeating of fatty, greasy, and spicy foods, accumulation of heat in the spleen and stomach, and endogenous dampness and heat.

Therefore, the most important thing to prevent acne is to maintain a regular life, combine work and rest, not smoke, not drink alcohol, not drink strong coffee and strong tea, eat less spicy and stimulating food, eat less sweets and high-fat foods, eat more vegetables and fruits, and keep the bowel movements open.

“Dark complexion”

Every day when we breathe, harmful substances such as bacteria, viruses, dust, etc. floating in the air are brought into our lungs. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the lungs control the skin of the entire body. Whether the skin is moisturized and fair depends on the good function of the lungs. When there are more toxins in the lungs, the toxins will be deposited on the skin through the action of the lungs, making the skin look dull.
