Autumn, the season of the year, brings with it both cool weather and golden leaves, as well as the possibility of toxin accumulation in the body. Due to the heat of summer and the dryness of autumn, our body may have accumulated a lot of toxins, so autumn detoxification is even more important. Detoxification is not only a means to help us stay healthy, but also an important way to prevent diseases and prolong our lives.
So, how do you do an effective detox in the fall? In addition to drinking plenty of water, maintaining a good routine and exercising, we should also pay attention to dietary conditioning. Here are four of the "4 Detox Treasures" for autumn, which have excellent detoxifying effects and can regulate the stomach and make you feel relaxed.
