Detoxification
I have been bothered by what seem to be a small health problem, but its too big of a problem to be ignored. Its one of the underlining causes I have gained weight. Yes!! My constipation problem!
Having sold more than a million copies, “病気にならない生き方: How to live healthy” written by Hiromi Shinya, explains why constipation causes serious problems. He stressed that having a healthy small intestine is one of the keys to a successful life, as it increases metabolism, which is absolutely necessary when trying to reduce weight.
In the small intestine where food is digested, food is broken down into nutrition and waste. This process is promoted by many types of enzymes which exist in the small intestine. Next, the nutrition is absorbed by the blood vessels and sent throughout the body which stimulates metabolism – the mechanism for burning fat-. At the same time, waste products are removed through the passage of stool.
When the small bowel movement is not functioning properly, waste products accumulate on its walls and the build-up of waste products over a long period of time produces a lot of toxic substances. These toxic substances flood the blood vessels and are eventually carried throughout the body. Problems, particularly related to skin, often occur when these toxic substances are excreted through the pores. This hinders metabolism as these toxic substances prevent nutrition from being absorbed in the blood vessels.

I may have accumulated a lot of toxic substances in my small intestine so I want to expel them!!Eating less amounts of food dose not solve the problem. The accumulated waste will not be expelled without stimulating the small intestine -eating food-.
Eating three types of foods are effective for the detoxification of the small intestine.
Foods rich in soluble fiber
Soluble fiber prevents toxic substances from being absorbed by the body by attaching itself to them, which are then eventually removed when stool is passed. Soluble fiber is also effective in curbing the absorption of carbohydrates, fat and cholesterol. It also lowers blood pressure, as it expels natrium.
Konnyaku, seaweed, dried prunes, kidney beans
Foods rich in insoluble fiber
Soluble fiber absorbs water and increases its own bulk, which stimulates the walls of the small intestine and promotes movement
Burdock root, broccoli, mushrooms, whole grain, brown rice
Foods which increase the amount of good bacteria inside the small intestine
They control bad bacteria and activate good bacteria in the small intestine
Yogurt, green tea, kimchi
