Empty your stomach! Burdock can help you lose weight and treat constipation, and it can also help you maintain smooth and beautiful skin.

The secret to a diet that makes you look younger the more you eat is to “keep your intestines clean”. As long as the intestines are clean, skin moisturizing ingredients and nutrients needed for rejuvenation can be actively synthesized. When the skin is moisturized and elastic, wrinkles will disappear without a trace.

The reason why wrinkles are more likely to appear after the age of 40 is because the skin's moisturizing components decrease. The reduction in moisturizing ingredients alone can easily cause wrinkles on the skin. If the intestines are not clean, it would be incredible not to get wrinkles. If you are over 40 years old, please consume burdock, which is rich in dietary fiber, to keep your intestines clean at all times!

Burdock can also eliminate and improve constipation and flatten the abdomen. The reason why it is important to keep the intestines clean is because some vitamins are synthesized in the intestines.

What is particularly worth noting is that it includes vitamin B6, which is an indispensable vitamin for the synthesis of female hormones. Because female hormones have the function of enhancing moisturizing ingredients.

When the intestines are kept clean, vitamin B6 can be produced in sufficient quantities, making it relatively easy to synthesize female hormones. If there is an adequate source of female hormones, they will be able to increase the moisturizing ingredients after full operation, forming the most ideal "rejuvenation cycle mechanism".

But what happens when the intestines are not clean?

Since vitamins cannot be synthesized smoothly, the synthesis of female hormones will stagnate. Naturally, this will result in insufficient moisturizing ingredients, leading to dry skin and causing wrinkles and rough skin, thus falling into the so-called most tragic "aging vicious cycle".

Keeping your intestines clean is the secret to maintaining a youthful physique. To create a clean intestinal environment, an indispensable nutrient is dietary fiber.

There are two types of dietary fiber: water-soluble dietary fiber that is soluble in water, and insoluble dietary fiber that is insoluble in water. What is more important here is non-water-soluble dietary fiber, because it can increase the useful bacteria in the intestines and improve the intestinal environment.

In fact, burdock contains sufficient insoluble dietary fiber. If the insoluble dietary fiber content is high, bowel movements will become smoother.

Insoluble dietary fiber will expand several to dozens of times after absorbing water. The insoluble dietary fiber that swells after absorbing water can promote intestinal peristalsis, coat unnecessary substances in the intestines, and help them be excreted smoothly out of the body.

After eating burdock, drinking water or tea can eliminate and improve constipation. As constipation is relieved, your protruding belly will become flat, and your figure will gradually improve day by day. Moreover, when the intestines are freed from burden, vitamins can be synthesized smoothly, accelerating the circulation mechanism for the rejuvenation effect to proceed smoothly.

There is a secret to eating burdock. It is recommended that you cook it into burdock salad. To make burdock salad, you only need to mix it with mayonnaise. Although mayonnaise contains fat, this cooking method can allow you to intake a large amount of dietary fiber, so the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.

Dishes that use burdock as an ingredient also include Kinpei burdock, which is commonly known as Japanese fried burdock. However, its disadvantage is that it has a strong taste and it is easy for people to eat a few more mouthfuls of rice without realizing it.

The recommended time to eat burdock is during dinner. After dinner, it’s time to go to bed, which means that there is less activity during this period, so we don’t want the portion of our meals to increase too much.

In this regard, since burdock is rich in dietary fiber, people will naturally chew it several times when eating it. The more you chew, the more you feel full after a meal, thus preventing overeating. Even if you just eat a lot of burdock, you can see the weight loss effect, so please give it a try!
