The environment, and therefore the food we eat, can be altered by many toxic substances. Plastics, aerosols, tobacco, pesticides ... are all toxins and pollutants that affect our environment and especially our body and our health.
Indeed, the body is regularly confronted with toxins, which accumulate and damage the functioning of certain organs including the intestine, colon, liver or kidneys. Thereafter, it is the whole body that suffers and symptoms such as fatigue, digestive disorders, dermatological problems and / or cognitive disorders are felt. Moreover, exposure to chemicals has been linked to the risk of developing cancers, including breast cancer, and the risk of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's, according to various scientific studies.
Thus, to take care of your health and prevent the appearance of many diseases, it is essential to eliminate the toxins and waste that has accumulated in our body. In this sense, here are two ingredients that promote the elimination of toxins, improve the digestive system and allow you to get back into shape:
Kefir
Kefir is an existing probiotic drink in two forms: milk kefir and fruit kefir. This is the fermentation of kefir grains (those of milk are more opaque and swollen than those of fruit, which are transparent and friable) in milk or fruit juice / sugar water for several hours. This fermentation process allows kefir grains to develop all their benefits through their composition of bacteria and yeasts, beneficial to health.
Indeed, probiotics are particularly recommended to rebalance the intestinal flora, improve the immune system, reduce anxiety and depression and prevent digestive disorders. Moreover, since kefir is rich in calcium, potassium, magnesium, retinol, vitamin B9 and has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-allergenic, antibacterial and anti-carcinogenic properties; the regular consumption of kefir (especially that of milk) has been associated with a reduction of digestive disorders, a better tolerance to lactose, a decrease in cholesterol and blood pressure. In the same way, this makes it possible to fight against the oxidative stress of the cells caused by free radicals, that is to say unstable molecules maintained by the toxins, and thus to reduce the cellular alterations responsible for early aging and diseases.
Flax seeds
Recognized for their beneficial effects on the digestive system and their laxative effects, flaxseeds are particularly effective against bloating, abdominal pain and constipation. In fact, they are soluble sources of omega-3, omega-6, vegetable protein, iron, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, selenium and antioxidants. Thus, they protect the body from cardiovascular disease, diabetes, osteoporosis, digestive diseases and strengthen the immune system, while promoting the elimination of toxins.
Kefir-flaxseed combination
To benefit from the virtues of these ingredients, consume them together by mixing a tablespoon of ground flaxseed with a glass of kefir. Just take this mix at breakfast time. Note that this preparation is to keep cool, including ground flaxseed. When they become unfit for consumption, they give off a strong and bad smell.
Similarly, to effectively eliminate toxins from the body, be sure to hydrate throughout the day by drinking 1.5 to 2 liters of water / day, to exercise by exercising regularly and to have a healthy diet and varied.
WARNINGS :
Flaxseed consumption is contraindicated in intestinal obstruction, intestinal diverticula, narrowing of the esophagus, irritable bowel syndrome and increased sensitivity to laxative foods and foods. They are also discouraged for breast and ovarian cancer and for thyroid disorders because they contain thiocyanate, a compound that inhibits the use of iodine by the thyroid gland.
Similarly, kefir is not recommended for anticoagulant therapy and may interact with certain drugs. Ask a health professional before using.
