Due to the effects of yellow dust and residual dust, the weather continues with severe fine dust. If you have a sore throat, phlegm, and a dry cough, it is likely due to fine dust. It is known that fine dust that enters the respiratory tract takes more than a week to be expelled. At times like this, it is good to eat foods that help with throat health. We introduce foods that help expel fine dust and are good for throat health.
Doraji = Doraji, which is rich in saponin and inulin, helps strengthen the bronchial mucosa. It also helps with secretion of mucus and is excellent for expelling phlegm. In particular, the saponin component moisturizes the bronchial mucosa, protecting the lungs that are easily damaged by fine dust, and is effective in enhancing immunity.
Drinking doraji tea can also be expected to have the effect of expelling fine dust. Doraji can be used in various dishes such as stir-fried vegetables, stir-fried vegetables, gangjeong, and fried foods. Drinking doraji tea can also be expected to have the effect of expelling fine dust.
Seaweed = Seaweed, which is loved as a postpartum nutritious food, is also effective in expelling fine dust. The alginic acid component of seaweed absorbs heavy metals and toxins in fine dust and expells them from the body. It is also effective in purifying the blood by expelling cholesterol and salt. Alginic acid is also abundant in seaweed such as kelp and laver. If you do not have seaweed, try consuming kelp and laver as a substitute. However, avoid soaking in water for too long or boiling it. The loss of vitamin K and alginic acid may increase during the cooking process.
Water parsley = Water parsley is an alkaline vegetable rich in various vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber. It purifies the blood and expells toxins, heavy metals, etc. from the body. To increase the effect of expelling heavy metals, it is good to consume it with plenty of water to increase intestinal movement.
