Nowadays, toxins are everywhere, so "detoxification" is a very important defense mechanism in terms of healthcare. The concept of detoxification is, however, not very common. Without a good understanding of the source of toxins and their harm to our body, it is not easy to employ the appropriate detoxification through diet or drugs. If used improperly, it may lead to addition burdens. A medical professional should be consulted prior to use of drugs or undertaking of dietary programs. The food magazine Vita invited Chinese medicine practitioners, nutritionists and other experts to select the top 10 detoxifying food suitable to Asians.
Many people would think "no sickness is good health". However, this is not an accurate concept of health. Bad diet habits and lifestyle can make your health deteriorate unconsciously.

With the advancement of medicine, many rely heavily on drugs and are less conscious about the fundamentals of diet. Detoxification is to make use of the healthy food to remove the toxins from the body. Pesticides on food are common and when they enter and aggregate in our body, it is not hard to image how harmful are they. To maintain a healthy body, we need to eliminate toxins from inside. Many kinds of food have detoxifying effects in general. There are many ways in detoxification. The high fiber, low fat, low sugar, low salt approach is most popular.

This is to maximize intestinal absorption of sweet potatoes. This is particularly necessary for patients with serious illness wanting to use sweet potatoes for cure.
