It's the end of the year again, and after a year of hard work, it's time to relax. However, for those of you who focus on your health, be mindful that the cold weather slows down your body's metabolism, which means more toxins are bound to accumulate in your intestines. To make yourself more beautiful and healthy, it's time for a major intestinal cleanse! 1, Coix Seed
According to the Compendium of Materia Medica: Coix seed is sweet and bland in taste, slightly cool in nature, and has a descending and diuretic effect. Therefore, it can remove dampness and promote urination. Because it targets dampness, it can benefit the joints, eliminate beriberi, treat flaccidity, spasms, and damp impediment, reduce edema and pain, promote urination for strangury, and also kill roundworms. Thus, coix seed can promote blood circulation and water metabolism in the body, has a diuretic and de-swelling effect, and helps improve edema-related obesity. 2, Corn
Recently, a study by the German Nutrition Society found that among all staple foods, corn has the highest nutritional value and health benefits. In this year-long study, experts compared various nutritional and health indicators of staples like corn, rice, and wheat. The results showed that the vitamin content in corn is very high, 5-10 times that of rice and wheat. At the same time, the large amount of nutritional and health-promoting substances in corn also surprised the experts. Corn also contains a large amount of magnesium, which can strengthen intestinal wall peristalsis and promote the excretion of waste from the body. The above ingredients and functions of corn are very beneficial for weight loss. 3, White Radish
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that white radish is pungent and sweet in taste, cool in nature, and enters the lung and stomach meridians. It is an excellent food-medicine that can treat or assist in treating various diseases. The Compendium of Materia Medica calls it "the most beneficial among vegetables." The digestive enzymes in white radish help with food digestion in the stomach, and its rich plant fiber has a great effect on regulating the intestines. It can increase the reproduction of beneficial bacteria in the intestines and accelerate the excretion of toxins from the body, effectively improving constipation. Relatively speaking, it is also beneficial for beauty.
