Clean “Blood Vessels”
There is a saying from ancient people that “humans and blood vessels have the same lifespan”. If the blood vessels are not clean, it will accelerate the “aging” process of the body, causing the system and organs of the whole body to deteriorate.
With the increase of age, the accumulation of “junk” in the blood vessels can easily form blood clots and block the blood vessels, causing various cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and even leading to sudden death.
Eating Method: Eat more than 5 types of vegetables per day
Eating fruits and vegetables is very beneficial for blood vessel health. Eat at least 5 types of vegetables every day to help enhance and strengthen the cleanliness and health of the blood vessels.
Vegetables of different colors contain different nutrients, and the content is also different.
The more types of vegetables you eat, the more comprehensive nutrients you absorb. Vegetables contain vitamin C, anthocyanins, fiber, etc. that the human body cannot synthesize, which is beneficial for antioxidant, waste removal, and maintaining the elasticity of blood vessels.
Clean “Intestine”
Old saying: “In order to live longer, we must first make the intestines clean”. A clean intestine will be a good foundation for longevity. We eat unhealthy and overeat, which will definitely lead to the accumulation of toxins in the intestine and cause “uncleanliness”.
In addition, as we age, digestive function decreases, and the decrease in intestinal flora will also lead to an unclean intestine. Experts point out that 90% of human diseases are related to an unclean intestine.
Food: The first step to keep the intestines clean is to eat shepherd’s purse/chayote.
Chayote can cool the body, remove toxins from the stomach, improve constipation, and make your skin look more radiant. This vegetable is known as the “sanitary worker of the intestine” and can help remove heat and toxins from the stomach and intestines.
There are many ways to eat chayote, such as boiling it in boiling water and mixing it with spices to make a cold salad, a special mixed vegetable dish that is good for healing when combined with beans.
Drinks: Regular boiled water should be used. Water is one of the important factors in keeping the intestines clean and effectively lubricating them. Drinking more water can reduce the production and excretion of harmful gases in the intestines, thereby benefiting intestinal health.
Boiled water should be cooled to around 35-40°C is the best choice. Actively drinking water and supplementing enough water to keep the intestines clean, prevent the occurrence of colorectal cancer.
Exercise: Pat and massage the area around the waist. Massage the abdomen around the navel. The area around the waist is where the meridians pass, and regularly patting gently can improve the detoxification ability and improve constipation. Clasp your hands like making a fist and gently pat and massage the area around the waist, 300 times a day.
By doing these simple things every day, you will have a clean body from the inside and become healthier over time, thereby improving physical fitness and longevity.
Clean “Lungs”
