Natural Detox Drink🍹😋😁🙏🌺❤️

Sometimes I got carried away and ate bad pizza and spaghetti so it’s time for my body realigned 😅

I usually make this drink Malva nut juice as a dietary beverage because of its cooling properties and as a febrifuge. I let the malva nuts soaked over night and then remove skin and seeds. I love to have with basil seeds and a little bit of rock sugar. That’s my all day tasty drink 😋🤗❤️

FYI: According to traditional Chinese medicine, Malva nut is used as a coolant, for gastrointestinal disorders, and for soothing the throat. It can remove heat from the lung, cure sore throats, counteract toxicity, and moisten the bowels. Also, it is used as the prevention of pharyngitis, treatment of tussis and constipation. In Malaysia for treating fevers, phlegm, coughs and sore throats, respiratory conditions, and to improve general health.

⚠️Disclaimer: Please consult with a physician or other healthcare professional before considering any detox plan.

That's really cool. How does it taste?

[Hidden in reply to Kainan]

🤔 It tastes like jello no flavor actually. When you add natural rock sugar will give sweetness. Or honey can be good too. 👍

[Kainan in reply to Hidden]

it looks like tea. That's good to give it a little sweetness

[Hidden in reply to Kainan]

You just gave me great idea. If I add green tea to it instead of water, it can be extra detox. 😁👍

[Kainan in reply to Hidden]

Yess add more of the good stuff. and you get extra good benefits 👍🤣🤣

[Hidden in reply to Kainan]

Always think outside of the box Kainan 😂🤣😁👌

[Kainan in reply to Hidden]

Thank you, that is what I do 😎

[Hidden in reply to Kainan]

Koko is proud of you always. 😂😂😂 You know what, I’m going to think what else we could add on for extras detox 🤔🤔🤔 Stay tuned.....

[Kainan in reply to Hidden]

They say kale is one of the best 🤢lol

[Hidden in reply to Kainan]

But it won’t mix well with this. I think it will be hard to drink it up. Hmmmm... Aloe Vera juice 💡💡💡yes?😁

[Hidden in reply to Kainan]

I do make juice out of kale and cucumber and celery and mixed with pineapple juice. It is delicious 😋 👍

[Kainan in reply to Hidden]

still sounds like I wouldn't like it lol.

[Hidden in reply to Kainan]

Don’t knock it till you try it 😂

[Kainan in reply to Hidden]

that pineapple juice is not enough to overpower all those veggies 🤣🤣

[Hidden in reply to Kainan]

Actually pineapple juice is very strong flavor in my opinion and it helps your digestive system like whenever you feel bloated, eat pineapple or orange, it has digestive enzyme bromelain. 😁👍

[Kainan in reply to Hidden]

good point. Though I wouldn't have it on an empty stomach cause it's mad acidic

[Hidden in reply to Kainan]

Well you can have cucumber and celery all blended in so it won’t make your stomach too empty. Wait... are we talking about pineapple after a meal? How could your stomach be empty? 😂😂😂

[Kainan in reply to Hidden]

no. yeah but people still might have acid reflux. I know I would particularly not having had anything to eat

[Hidden in reply to Kainan]

Well if you have acid reflux, you have to be careful ofc. Oh tomatoes are bad for acid reflux too, so as dairies, fatty n spicy stuffs

[Kainan in reply to Hidden]

yeah just not for me in the morning which is I think the best time to have those health drinks to flush all that gunk out

[Hidden in reply to Kainan]

Well, my habit is when I wake up, I would drink lemon water to flush my system and then making my breakfast/brunch if I have time or just a power bar and go. 😅 I wouldn’t consume strong acidic stuffs for breakfast if you have a history of acid reflux/heartburn. It is better to be consumed throughout the day.

[Kainan in reply to Hidden]

most mornings I just have some milk and I'm good to go.

[Hidden in reply to Kainan]

What kind of milk? I strongly recommend almond milk, plant based milk as it is healthy for you.

[Kainan in reply to Hidden]

I drink lactaid. I had almond milk and I didn't like it at all. It's like I had to force myself to finish it off so I wouldn't have to look at it anymore

[Hidden in reply to Kainan]

Lactaid is just for lactose intolerant. Cow’s milk has more saturated fat and calories. If you look at almond milk, calcium is added also. It’s a matter of taste for you I see. However, they have different flavor for almond milk also and once you get used to it, you should be fine. 😁

👍

[Kainan in reply to Hidden]

I'm not lactose intolerant though. I'm just used to the taste. I always get the 1% and it's not that much. Some calories and fat is fine and is helpful

[Hidden in reply to Kainan]

Look at the chart again Kainan see how much sugar in 1 percent milk. Sugar addiction is bad for your brain 😂😂😂

[Kainan in reply to Hidden]

I think my brain is doing just fine thank you 🤣🤣

[Hidden in reply to Kainan]

Well Kainan, you make your own judgement, you already know how sugar addiction effects on your health as well as slowing cognitive function and deficits in memory and attention.

[Kainan in reply to Hidden]

I could say the same about you but with something else 😂😉

[Hidden in reply to Kainan]

That’s when I’ll say, good day sir 😂🤣😂

[Kainan in reply to Hidden]

that's good night to you madam

[Hidden in reply to Kainan]

Good night and sweet dreams Kainan. 😊🙏

Hi Koko, cows milk molecules are 200 times larger than human milk molecules so have to be broken down before it can be absorbed by our gut. Goats and sheep milk molecules are the same size as human milk and therefore much easier to digest as some people can’t tolerate cows milk but are fine with goat or sheep milk.

My concern with commercial nut milk is the additives, like they add malt to rice milk.

As for added calcium this is usually calcium carbonate (chalk) whose molecules are 100,000 times larger than calcium from food and our bodies absorb very little so our kidneys have to work harder to remove the excess chalk.

It’s like everything we have be aware of what we are really consuming.

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Hi Jerry, what you said are facts. Yes, goat and sheep milk is much easier to digest; however, my concern is saturated fat. There’s 7g of saturated fat in 1 cup of goat milk and it can raise your LDL cholesterol which is a risk for heart disease and stroke. Calcium: we get from many sources such as: milk, cheese, bread, green leafy vegetables, seafood (with bones and shells). We need 700 mg per day. Yes it is true calcium carbonate added of which molecules are 100k times larger than calcium from food; however studies showed that all calcium salts absorb a few percentage around only 30 percents. It doesn’t make any difference from whether calcium sources are calcium carbonate, calcium citrate, or calcium malate.

Your concern is what happened to the excess chalk that our kidneys have to filter those, it is true therefore we need to drink plenty of water throughout the day. Our body still needs the calcium that is Not absorbed for many other essential biological functions such as fighting toxins and lowering our blood pressure. It is not calcium absorption that we concern, the bone density is what we want to increase. Hence, we need other essential minerals and vitamins with calcium such as: vitD, K2, and magnesium.

We need to be aware of all plant based products also because they involve the soil quality, water quality and the air quality also. There’s so many factors for us to be concern and we raise our awareness of food intakes, everything has to be in moderation and knowing all risks factors for our health.

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Hey this is very interesting Koko as you are so right we should look at all aspects of things.

What we have ro do is find what works for us and I'm a coeliac and my body doesn't absorb fat very well so I tend to be lean, so I drink organic whole cows milk as I want the nutrients from whole milk. My body fat is 25% less than the minimum for my age group and my cholesterol levels are low with the LDL being less than half of HDL my Dr was impressed. 😇

You are so right because at the end of the day we both agree that we need to be aware of what we are really eating and we should eat a healthy balanced diet for us and our needs so thank you for this information its well thought out.😊

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Yes Jerry, we have to raise our awareness in every aspects. Coeliac is something you have to cope with but I can see you are very conscious about health information. 👌😁 Your LDL level is less than half of HDL is amazing, I’m impressed too. There are so many patients with high cholesterol these days that is like the norms which is scary to me. I’m glad I can contribute some of my knowledge to the community. 😊🙏

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Hey me too Koko.😊

[Northlondongirl in reply to Hidden]

Hi Hidden this sounds like a very nice and healthy juice to try. I have never juiced celery do you have to peel it (remove the stringy bit)to get a smooth juice?

[Hidden in reply to Northlondongirl]

Hi Northlondongirl, you don’t have to peel celeries, you can blend them all in as we can get more fibers drinking that way. 😁

[Northlondongirl in reply to Hidden]

Thank you I am going to try it this week 😁

[Hidden in reply to Northlondongirl]

Yes, and please let me know how it goes. You can also use drainer to separate the pulp from the juice and can add some back in for fibers. 😁👍

[ZazenRiver345]

Mmmm looks refreshing 😋. Do you feel realigned now?

[Hidden in reply to ZazenRiver345]

It’s refreshing on a summer day for sure. 😅 Hmmm.. 🤔 I feel very light and calm after drinking it all day 😁👍

[Hidden]

Hi Koko, it’s great to see you posting on Healthy Eating. 👍This is really interesting to me as I’ve never heard of Malvasia nuts and they do seem to have health benefits especially for our throat and gut so if you can make it taste real nice with rock sugar or honey even better.

As for needing to detox that’s the joy of youth and occasional over indulgence.

Jerry 😁

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Hi Jerry, yes Heathy Eating is such an interesting room that we can post food awareness and nature also. 😁👍Thanx to Leah, she informed me about this community. Yes Malvasia nuts are amazing, I wonder if you can get from the UK 🤔 they are one of our natural remedies approach in healing our bodies in holistic way. I realized we need to detox very often, not only from food intakes but even the air, the water, everything all around us. Occasional indulgence is nice 😂. I try to do everything in moderation as possible. Thank you for having me in this community and have a good rest of the day Jerry 😊🙏

[Hidden]

Hi Celine yes I try probiotic, one product I like is Kefir probiotic yogurt drink which can heal stomach ulcer also in many cases.

[Hidden]

Yes I’m here also Celine. We do need detoxification for our livers, our kidneys, our lungs too. Many things we have to be aware and taking into consideration. 😅 Have a wonderful day in France Celine. 😊🙏🌈☀️

[Hidden]

Yes Celine that is a profound statement I always love, we need to detox our mind, our emotions, our body. Meditation is the solution for it. 😊🙏

[Hidden]

Yes, gastric reflux, heartburns, all major concerns.

[Hidden]

That’s awesome.

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]
