The diseases of our bodies are mostly due to the long-term accumulation of toxins within us. Whether it's diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, or cancer, almost all of them are the result of long-term toxin buildup. If we remove the toxins from our bodies, we can naturally become immune to all poisons and free from all illnesses.
The healthy detox meal introduced here was formulated by Mr. Lin Guangchang, a health education expert from Taiwan, based on his many years of clinical experience.
Detox Breakfast Method
For breakfast, you eat 1 portion of fruit + 2 portions of vegetables + 1 portion of sweet potato + 1 portion of rice. This means we divide each meal into 5 equal parts, with the ratio of fruit, vegetables, sweet potato, and rice being 1:2:1:1. For patients with severe or chronic illnesses, it is recommended to divide the breakfast into 6 equal portions, increasing the sweet potato to 2 portions.
One type of fruit. More suitable fruits include apples, guavas, bananas, oranges, pears, and grapes. However, it must be noted that they should comply with the principles of being local, in-season, and abundant, and should be eaten with the skin on. Fruits consumed by severe and chronic patients must be inspected by professionals before consumption.
Two types of vegetables. Vegetables are alkaline, so our intake should be higher, accounting for about two portions, to easily achieve acid-base balance. The breakdown and absorption of all food depend on enzymes, and almost all vegetables and fruits contain a large amount of enzymes. However, enzymes are destroyed at temperatures above 54°C. Therefore, in every meal, more than 50% of the vegetables must be eaten raw.
Principles for selecting vegetables: Focus on the four main categories: roots, stems, flowers, and fruits. These four types of vegetables have less pesticide and contain high levels of minerals and energy. Leafy greens and sprouts are also very good foods, but they are not suitable for patients in the recovery period (especially for friends living south of the Yangtze River). Additionally, women should not eat raw white radish; it should be cooked with the skin and leaves together.
Sweet potato. Sweet potato (yellow-fleshed sweet potato) is an excellent food because it is rich in minerals and contains almost all the essential amino acids and B vitamins that the human body needs. When steamed, it is especially important to eat it with the skin on. This can help lower cholesterol and regulate gastrointestinal system diseases.
One portion of brown rice (or mixed with other grains like small red beans, black rice, Job's tears, and soybeans).
Barbara Rolls, a professor of food nutrition at Pennsylvania State University, said that the breakfast time "is the best time to nourish the body with little effort," and I believe everyone understands the importance of eating breakfast. But how exactly should one eat a healthy breakfast? Let's take a look. I. The Healthiest Detox Breakfast: Fruit (1) + Vegetables (2) + Sweet Potato + Rice (1:2:1:1) 1. One type of fruit:
Principle for selecting fruit: Choose fruits that are local, in-season, and abundant. Imported fruits and non-seasonal refrigerated products are not suitable.
* Fruits consumed by chronic patients must be inspected by professionals before consumption.
2. Two types of vegetables:
Principle for selecting vegetables: Focus on the four main categories: roots, stems, flowers, and fruits. Sprouts and leafy greens are temporarily not suitable.
Roots: Carrots, white radish, Chinese yam, burdock, etc.
Stems: Celery, Angelica keiskei (Ashitaba), etc.
Flowers: Broccoli (green), cabbage, etc.
Fruits: Cucumbers, bitter gourd, green peppers, large tomatoes, etc.
* For safety and the best results, vegetables consumed by chronic patients must be tested by professionals before consumption.
* Both fruits and vegetables must be eaten raw and whole (with the skin on).
Leafy greens and sprouts are very good foods, but they are temporarily less suitable for patients in the recovery period.
3. Sweet Potato (yellow is better than red):
Chronic patients should eat two portions, while those for general health should eat one portion. It should be steamed and eaten with the skin on (roasting can be done in winter). 4. One portion of brown rice (or mixed with millet, Job's tears, and other grains).
* Both vegetables and grains must be chosen from crops grown without pesticides or chemical fertilizers, otherwise the effects will be compromised. If you are unsure about the food you purchase, you can first treat it with a fruit and vegetable detoxifier that produces more than 200mg of ozone per hour for safety. II. A Breakfast Suitable for Women to Eat and Stay Young
What kind of breakfast do you want most? First, the waiting time cannot be too long; it must be quickly obtainable in a fast-paced morning. Second, it must be easy to digest. Indigestible food will cause stomach discomfort all day and reduce work efficiency. Third, it needs to be paired with a hot meal. Eating warm food in the morning helps the body, which is not fully awake, to recover. If this is the case, you might consider a cup-of-soup breakfast.
1. A cup of fresh yogurt + two slices of whole wheat bread + a tomato. Both yogurt and tomatoes are very high in vitamin A. Vitamin A is great for improving eyesight. Professional women who often use computers or write at a desk should pay the most attention to eye care. At the same time, the main function of vitamin A is also to promote the regeneration of skin cells, increase the renewal rate of deep skin cells, strengthen the connection between cells, make the skin elastic, and regulate the keratinization process of skin cells. 2. A bowl of red date and millet porridge + a chicken sandwich. Millet is very high in carotene and various vitamins. Red dates can nourish the blood and qi, and effectively enhance immunity. Add a chicken sandwich, and this breakfast combination can fully replenish energy, enough to handle a heavy and busy morning's work, making it the first choice for professional women with a high workload.
Perhaps, many working women are still troubled: "I understand all this, but it's really hard to implement."
In the morning when time is tight, spend 15 seconds to brew a quick cup-of-soup. Eight different flavors are made with nutritious and delicious ingredients like corn, mushrooms, pumpkin, tomato, potato, chicken, spinach, etc., mixed with rich milk and crispy bread bits for a mellow and smooth texture. For seven days a week, you can have a new variety every day. Convenient, nutritious, and rich, now you should have no excuse to skip the most important first meal of the day. III. What is the best time to eat breakfast?
Medical experts point out that because dinner is eaten too late, when a person is sleeping, most of the organs get sufficient rest, but the digestive organs are still digesting and absorbing the food left in the gastrointestinal tract from dinner, and only gradually enter a resting state around dawn.
If you eat breakfast too early, it will inevitably interfere with the rest of the gastrointestinal tract, causing the digestive system to be in a state of fatigue and combat for a long time, disrupting the peristaltic rhythm of the stomach and intestines.
Therefore, it is most appropriate to eat breakfast 20 to 30 minutes after waking up around 7 o'clock.
In addition, the interval between breakfast and lunch should be about 4 to 5 hours, which also indicates that it is better to eat breakfast between 7 and 8 o'clock. IV. How to eat a ten-minute breakfast
Sandwich + Burger: Excessive oil. Both of these foods consist of meat, vegetables, and bread. They are nutritionally sufficient, but the biggest problem is the high oil content. Meat, especially fried meat, is high in calories, so it is best not to have this type of breakfast more than 3 times a week. Moreover, after eating such a breakfast, it is best not to eat fried food for lunch and dinner that day. Fried dough sticks + Soy milk: The most filling. In this breakfast, the fried dough sticks belong to the staple food category, and soy milk is a source of plant protein. So, carbohydrates and protein foods are both present, basically meeting the energy consumption for a morning. Fried cakes and dough sticks are both fried foods. Although they provide a strong sense of fullness after eating, they are relatively high in calories and are not recommended for overweight people. For people with a standard body shape, try to limit it to no more than 3 times a week. At the same time, do not add too much sugar to the soy milk.
In addition, soy milk contains a lot of water and low protein content, so it might be a good idea to add an egg, or replace the soy milk with tofu pudding, so that the protein content is basically sufficient.
Porridge + Small dishes: Lack of protein. Porridge is a semi-liquid food that is easy to digest and absorb, and is preferred by the elderly. Among various types of porridge, the Laba porridge is the best. Several grains are cooked together, which is very convenient. More importantly, several grains can "complement each other's strengths," improving the nutritional value of the porridge.
However, this breakfast lacks protein foods. It is recommended to add a glass of milk. Now, many elderly people have started to pay attention to calcium intake. If you are intolerant to milk, you can add an egg, or add minced meat to the porridge to supplement protein. V. 4 Questions About Women's Breakfast 1. Must you eat breakfast?
Breakfast is the most important of the three meals a day. The reason is very simple: every night, the body consumes energy. At this time, the human body has to use its stored energy. Therefore, after waking up in the morning, you naturally need to replenish this stored energy with a breakfast rich in carbohydrates. Without breakfast, you cannot gain new energy to work. In addition, if you want to lose weight, you should especially not skip breakfast. Because by lunchtime, to compensate for the missed breakfast, you will inevitably overeat, which will affect your weight loss results.
2. What kind of breakfast should women usually eat?
Women's breakfasts are increasingly leaning towards low-fat foods. They prefer to eat cereal foods. From a nutritional point of view, this trend should be encouraged. For example, a breakfast of a small bread spread with butter, jam, and cheese, plus an egg, contains about 7 times more fat than a breakfast of whole milk, fruit, and grain-based foods.
3. Why are cereal breakfasts so popular with women?
A good breakfast should include three things: cereal foods (such as whole wheat bread, eight-treasure congee, black rice bread, steamed corn bread, fennel dumplings, etc.), fruit, and dairy products. It is best to drink low-fat milk. Whoever eats such a breakfast kills three birds with one stone: abundant carbohydrates, low fat, and rich vitamins and minerals.
4. Pay attention to the intake of vitamins, folic acid, and iron.
The breakfast of women aged 25-40 should meet at least 50% of their daily needs for vitamins and folic acid, especially vitamin C and iron. Today, most women do not get enough iron and folic acid from food. If possible, this can be supplemented at lunch and dinner. Meat, offal, millet, and fennel can meet the daily requirement of 10 to 18 mg of iron. Vitamin B can be obtained from lean meat, fish, liver, whole wheat bread, potatoes, peanuts, and other foods.
