There is a well-known health theory that believes that our daily problems with constipation, acne, and fever are all because there are toxins in the body and need to "detoxify".
Many people believe in this theory and go to eat some detoxification capsules, foot patches, and steam saunas in the hope of detoxification, but are these detoxification methods really effective?
First of all, foot patches generally convey the effects of removing dampness and toxins, treating rheumatic leg pain, shoulder and neck pain, insomnia, etc. After applying the foot patch, it will turn black, and it looks like "toxins" are sucked out of the body.
But in fact, the blackening of the foot patch is not a toxin in the body. The foot patch generally contains extracts such as bamboo vinegar , bamboo charcoal , Platycodon , etc., which will change color after being soaked in water and oxidized. When we sweat when we sleep, we will dye the foot patch black, but these sweats are what we will excrete when we sleep. They are normal metabolism, not so-called moisture.
So foot patch cannot "absorb moisture", moisture is not sweat, and it will not be directly discharged through a certain part. The same is true for
Sweat steaming. After sweat steaming, people will feel thirsty and tired, and a lot of sweat will appear in the sweat steaming room. But as mentioned earlier, sweating is not detoxification. Artificial large amount of sweating can also cause dehydration, and in severe cases, it can also endanger life.
99% of sweat is water. Sodium, potassium, calcium, chlorine and urea nitrogen are all in that 1% ingredient. Many people think that urea nitrogen is a toxic component. In fact, urea nitrogen is a normal product after protein metabolism . It is also more excreted in urine. It contains very little sweat and does not have any detoxification effect.
In addition, it is best not to sweat and steam for people with hypoglycemia, because it is likely to cause hypoglycemia problems and in severe cases it will threaten life and health. The detox capsule is even more outrageous. It is a medicine that is three parts poisonous. People who do not understand pharmacology cannot take medicine casually. Otherwise, not only will they not be able to detoxify, but they will also increase the burden on the liver and kidneys and cause poisoning.
In fact, for normal people, even if they feel a little uncomfortable, they don’t need to detoxify. Our body has a strong immune function and will not store any toxins in the body. Only some metabolic waste will be excreted from the body with daily metabolism.
Moreover, even if these so-called "detoxification" methods are not used, they cannot promote the excretion of metabolic waste, and may harm the body. These detoxification statements are all gimmicks of merchants. For constipation and acne, it is more effective to eat less high-calorie, high-oil and high-sugar foods, eat more foods rich in dietary fiber, and drink more water.
