cleansing diets. Recovery and rejuvenation of the body. Yulia Vladimirovna Bebneva

Introduction
The problem of proper nutrition is currently particularly relevant. It is not easy for a modern person to maintain a balanced regimen. Most of the townspeople snack on the run, sometimes heavy and simply harmful to the body food. As a result, extra pounds and all kinds of diseases appear, the cause of which is malnutrition.

Meanwhile, people knew about food that cleanses the body many centuries ago. The priests of Indian temples used wild rice, mountain barley, and some vegetable crops (cucumbers, pumpkins, carrots) for this purpose. They prescribed a special diet for sick people. In Babylon, Assyria and Canaan, fermented milk products were used to cleanse the body.

In South America, the Incas revered maize (corn) very much, since this culture was considered not only a healthy food product, but also healing food. On the eve of the battle, the warriors ate only ground corn, washed down with water. It was believed that maize cleanses the body and mind.

Regular cleansing diets contribute to the preservation of youth and beauty. It is known that the last Empress of China, Ci Xi, paid great attention to proper nutrition. In her palace there was a whole staff of dieticians who developed various healing diets for their mistress. Diets that help cleanse the body were in the first place on this list. The care of the empress about her health brought results, since Ci Xi ruled the Celestial Empire for almost half a century and, until the last days, maintained the freshness of her face and the beauty of her body.

Difficulties associated with cleansing nutrition
Often in an eventful life, a person does not have enough time to have lunch or breakfast. But it is known that you should not skip meals to detoxify. Nutritionists advise carrying certain foods with you, such as nuts, dried fruits, rice cookies, diet breads, etc. If you suddenly feel hungry, you can always have a bite to eat this food while in the office, car or institute. But often people confuse thirst with hunger, so sometimes a cup of green or herbal tea is enough to feel full and energized.

If during the cleansing period a visit or a cafe is planned, then you should warn in advance those present that this evening you will be extremely moderate in food and they should not persistently offer you this or that dish (especially if the food is fatty and high-calorie). It is recommended to refuse alcohol at this time. It is better to prefer hot water with lemon or herbal tea. Fresh fruits and vegetables will not be superfluous either.

In some cases, it can be quite problematic to refuse dinner, for example, if you need to go to a restaurant with partners or work colleagues. But you can get out of a difficult situation by ordering a vegetable side dish or a baked potato as a main dish. You can also choose steamed vegetables (cabbage, carrots, tomatoes, etc.). Polished rice (in a small amount) with soy sauce is also suitable. Shrimps, squid and lean fish are also acceptable as a dinner during the cleansing period. However, it should be remembered that after visiting a restaurant, you should limit yourself to food, including only raw vegetables in the diet of the next day. With a proper combination of food, slagging of the body and the accumulation of harmful substances and toxins do not occur. It is on this principle that nutritionists compose cleansing diets for their patients. People who periodically adhere to such diets, as a rule, are satisfied with the result.

Cleansing Products
Since ancient times, cereals have been used for a cleansing diet. Rice, oats, corn grains, buckwheat, millet, rye are best suited for this purpose. From these products during the cleansing period, you can cook cereals, light puddings and muesli.

For preventive purposes, it is recommended to eat bran (1-2 teaspoons per day are enough). The fiber they contain helps cleanse the intestines.

Studies have shown that the digestive system cannot digest fiber. Thus, the foods eaten containing it fill the stomach, giving a feeling of satiety, but without being converted into extra pounds. With the help of fiber, toxic substances are actively removed from the body.

Fermented milk products (especially kefir, curdled milk, yogurt, acidophilic drinks) have important dietary and cleansing properties. They have a healing effect on the intestines and are an effective means of normalizing digestion. This is due to the fact that they contain living lactic acid bacteria and highly active lactic acid. Sour-milk drinks reduce the intensity of putrefactive processes in the digestive tract, optimize the function of beneficial intestinal microflora, and reduce the amount of autointoxication. The activity of such drinks depends on the amount of lactic acid in them. In curdled milk it contains 0.8%, in kefir - 0.9%, in cottage cheese - 1%, in sour cream - 0.7%. Sour-milk drinks are digested more easily and faster than milk (an hour after consumption, it is digested by 32%, and yogurt - by 91%).

Buttermilk also has cleansing properties and can be recommended for mature and elderly people and those suffering from obesity.

You should eat more fresh vegetables and fruits to prevent slagging of the body. These products contribute to the release of enzymes necessary for the good digestion of proteins.

Vegetables and fruits are essential in regulating metabolism. The best way to normalize fat metabolism and fight slagging is to switch to eating mainly plant foods as part of a dairy-vegetable diet.

One of the reasons for the accumulation of toxins and harmful substances is the systematic autointoxication of putrefactive products absorbed from the intestines.

The best way to normalize the intestinal microflora and prevent the intensification of putrefactive processes in the intestines is to include fresh vegetables and fruits, sauerkraut, sour-milk drinks in the daily diet.

All types of cabbage have high cleansing and dietary properties.

Cabbage fiber (like the fiber of most vegetables and fruits) helps to remove cholesterol from the body, and also has a normalizing effect on the vital activity of beneficial intestinal microflora.

During the cleansing period, preference should be given to vegetable oils. Vegetable salads are best seasoned with olive, sunflower or corn oil. Some nutritionists also recommend the use of walnut oil. Dishes seasoned with it have a unique taste and a good cleansing effect.
