Staying up late goes against the body's natural metabolism and often brings some side effects the next day. Eating these foods after a late night can help minimize those side effects~
1. Seaweed
The algin in seaweed can treat arteriosclerosis, prevent the human body from absorbing heavy metals such as lead and cadmium, and help expel radioactive toxins from the body. Due to its high water content, algin forms a gel-like substance in the intestines, which helps to expel toxins, and can also prevent constipation and the occurrence of colon cancer.
2. Fungi
Such as black fungus, tremella, mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, etc. These fungi are rich in selenium. Regular consumption can lower blood pressure, lower cholesterol, prevent arteriosclerosis, enhance the body's immune function, increase the content of immunoglobulins in the body, stimulate the hematopoietic function of the bone marrow, and have effects such as promoting bowel movement, cleansing the blood, detoxification, and boosting intelligence.
3. Onion
Onions can promote gastrointestinal motility, strengthen digestion, and are rich in sulfur, which combines best with protein and is especially beneficial to the liver, thus helping with detoxification. Cooking a vegetable soup with onions as the main ingredient, adding various high-fiber fruits and vegetables like broccoli, carrots, and celery, can break down accumulated toxins in the body and aid bowel movements.
4. Mung Bean
Mung beans can counteract the toxicity of alcohol, wild mushrooms, arsenic, organophosphate pesticides, lead, cinnabar, and rat poison. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that mung beans can counteract all kinds of toxins, help the excretion of toxic substances in the body, and promote the body's normal metabolism. However, the cooking time should not be too long, so as not to destroy the organic acids and vitamins and reduce their effectiveness.
5. Pork Blood
The plasma protein in pork blood, after being decomposed by gastric acid and digestive juices, produces a substance that has a laxative and detoxifying effect. This substance can undergo chemical reactions with dust and harmful metal particles adhering to the gastrointestinal wall, thereby expelling these toxic and harmful substances from the body.
6. Lotus Root
The diuretic effect of lotus root can promote the rapid excretion of waste from the body, thereby purifying the blood. Lotus root can be eaten either hot or cold. You can squeeze lotus root into juice, add a little honey for flavor and drink it directly. You can also heat it gently over low heat, add a little sugar, and drink it while it is warm.
