Nine signs that the body's endotoxins are excessive

1. Constipation: If the interval between bowel movements is more than 3 days or more, you may be suffering from constipation. Depending on the symptoms, constipation can be divided into two types: habitual constipation and occasional constipation. The large intestine forms feces and controls defecation, and is one of the main channels for the body to excrete toxins. If the poison remains in the body, it will affect the functioning of the spleen and stomach, causing abnormal conduction of the large intestine, leading to intestinal obstruction and constipation. Long-term constipation will cause feces to not be excreted in time, which will cause a large amount of toxins to accumulate. These toxins will be absorbed by the human body and will cause other symptoms such as gastrointestinal discomfort, bad breath, pigmentation, etc., leading to weakened organ function and decreased resistance.

2. Obesity: If your weight exceeds the standard weight by 20%, or your body mass index [weight (kg)/body surface area (square meters)] is greater than 24, you are considered obese. Obesity is a disease of overnutrition. If you consume excessive amounts of high-fat, high-calorie foods for a long time, toxins will grow in your body, causing an imbalance and leading to obesity. In addition to symptoms such as weakness, difficulty in movement, shortness of breath when moving, palpitations, heat intolerance, sweating, or low back pain and pain in lower limb joints, most patients also have abnormalities in the metabolism of substances such as sugar, fat, and water, as well as endocrine abnormalities.

3. Chloasma: Endocrine changes, long-term oral contraceptives, liver disease, tumors, chronic alcoholism, and sunlight exposure are all causes of chloasma. Everyone hopes to have a beautiful face, but you don’t know since when, yellow-brown or light black spots appear on your face. Those map-shaped or butterfly-shaped spots make your skin lose its original tender luster.

4. Acne: Acne is a chronic inflammatory skin disease of hair follicles and sebaceous glands. Under the action of bacteria, various toxins produce a large amount of toxic substances, which endanger the whole body through blood circulation; and when the excretion is blocked, they will seep out through the skin, making the skin rough and causing acne. In addition, trace element deficiency, mental stress, and high-fat or high-carbohydrate diets are all triggers of acne. Therefore, we cannot only pay attention to the "face" but ignore the "environmental protection" in the body.

5. Bad breath: Bad breath refers to a symptom of foul breath, which is mostly caused by heat accumulation in the lungs, spleen, and stomach or undigested food. These things accumulate in the body for a long time and cannot be discharged, and become toxins. Eating too much spicy food or overeating, excessive fatigue, heat from the evil spirits, stagnation of internal fire, or certain oral diseases such as oral ulcers, caries and digestive system diseases can all cause bad breath.

6. Skin itching: The skin is the largest detoxification organ of the human body. The sweat glands and sebaceous glands on the skin can excrete toxins that other organs cannot eliminate through sweating and other means. External stimuli, irregular lifestyle, mental stress, and endocrine disorders weaken this function of the skin and cause itching. Chronic gastritis: It is a variety of chronic inflammatory lesions of the gastric mucosa caused by lack of restraint in diet, weak spleen and stomach, and excessive work and rest, resulting in symptoms of toxins remaining in the body and poor circulation of qi and blood.

7. Duodenal ulcer: Endogenous toxins caused by worry, depression, anger, liver depression and qi stagnation, irregular diet, excessive hunger or fullness, excessive consumption of spicy food, and exogenous toxins brought by addiction to tobacco and alcohol can all cause duodenal ulcer.

8. Irritable bowel syndrome: refers to the excessive reaction of the intestines to stimulation or abnormal phenomena, which causes blood flow stagnation, blockage of detoxification channels, and retention of various toxins in the body. The main symptoms are abdominal discomfort or pain, bloating, diarrhea, and constipation.

9. Eczema: It is mostly an inflammatory reactive skin disease caused by digestive system diseases, gastrointestinal dysfunction, mental stress, or various physical and chemical stimulations in the environment. It is also caused by excessive waste produced during metabolism that cannot be discharged from the body in time.
