SAEDNEWS: Cleanse your gut and support weight management with these natural mixtures and vegetables.
According to SaedNews’ Nutrition Service, cleansing the intestines is a natural and effective method to improve digestion, relieve constipation, and support weight management. Consuming herbs like chives and garlic, vegetables such as spinach, and mixtures like plum and date paste can help eliminate toxins from the body, strengthen intestinal function, and enhance overall digestive health. Maintaining a balanced diet, staying well-hydrated, and including legumes and fresh fruits with their skin can provide energy and vitality while supporting ideal weight and preventing digestive disorders.
Chives are effective for blood purification, relieving constipation, treating acne, cleansing the liver, and reducing blood pressure and sugar levels. As a natural diuretic, chives help remove toxins that impair digestive function, particularly in the liver. They are also beneficial for intestinal issues. To prepare: add two teaspoons of dried chive flowers to a cup of boiling water, steep for ten minutes, and drink about 30 minutes before meals.
Garlic is another powerful food for detoxifying the body and maintaining intestinal health. It offers multiple health benefits for the heart, circulation, and immune system and possesses antibacterial and antiviral properties that support gut health. Garlic is a strong antioxidant that can reduce inflammation in the intestinal walls, improve digestion, and help eliminate waste and toxins.
Regular consumption of spinach offers numerous benefits:
Reduces inflammation in the small intestine
Supports lung health
Acts as a natural laxative to relieve constipation
Assists in weight management
Spinach contains a compound called spinacin, which stimulates the stomach and promotes digestive secretions. Spinach soup with coriander can help alleviate headaches caused by indigestion or digestive disorders. Studies have shown spinach may help prevent cancers of the colon, stomach, prostate, larynx, and uterus. Its fiber content cleanses the large intestine, stimulates pancreatic secretions, and supports nerve health. Spinach seeds act as a gentle laxative and cooling agent.
⚠️ Note: Due to oxalate content, spinach is not recommended for individuals with arthritis, kidney stones, or bladder stones. People with a cold constitution should consume it with warming spices such as ginger or cardamom.
To prepare: bring 5 cups of water to a boil, blend plums and dates, add to the boiling water, and simmer for 15 minutes. Cool and store the mixture in the refrigerator.
Consumption: Take one tablespoon of this mixture on an empty stomach each morning. Within a few days, digestive function improves, toxins are gradually eliminated, and overall wellbeing increases.
A balanced diet is essential for intestinal health. For effective cleansing, drink plenty of fluids daily (water, homemade juices, herbal teas) and consume:
Fresh fruits with skin
Raw vegetables
Brewer’s yeast
Wheat and wheat products
Sprouts
Seaweed
Spinach
Almonds
Broccoli
Watercress
Legumes
Sour cherries and sweet cherries
Flax seeds
Beets
Legumes, especially beans and lentils, are rich in iron, zinc, potassium, calcium, B vitamins, and protein, making them useful for intestinal cleansing. Experts advise consuming them in moderation, as excessive intake may cause digestive discomfort, bloating, or indigestion.
Intestinal cleansing can improve digestion and prevent constipation, regulating bowel movements. Low-fiber diets slow food passage, so cleansing the large intestine is sometimes used as part of a weight-loss program. Maintaining results depends largely on healthy eating. Nutrition specialists recommend a fiber-rich diet to support weight management.
⚠️ Caution: Complete removal of waste from the large intestine can also eliminate beneficial bacteria essential for digestion and immunity. Therefore, experts suggest taking probiotics after colon cleansing to restore healthy gut flora.
