Detoxification: How to Protect Your Body From Heavy Metals and Chemicals Toxicity, Effectively

By Kyle J. Norton, Master of Nutrition

Carrots may have a profound and positive effect in expelling heavy mental and chemical toxins from our body through the gastrointestinal tract, some scientists suggested.

The digestive system, including the salivary glands, mouth, esophagus, stomach, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, small intestine, colon, and rectum. is a system responsible for extracting the nutrients and fluids from the foods intake to provide energy for the body needs and expelling the feces from the body.

Some people with the digestive problem may experience symptoms of acid reflux and GERD with burning sensation, gas, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, indigestion. In serious cases, the condition can also cause gallstone, irritable bowel syndrome, hemorrhoids,…

Some researchers suggested that eating 7 or more serving of fruits and vegetable daily, replacing refined grain product with whole grain products, reducing intake of processed food and red meat and engaging in daily physical activity are the best to optimize the digestive health.

Including vitamin D  and calcium in the diet are also helpful.

Carrot, a root vegetable with an orange color is sub-species of Daucus carota, belonging to the family Apiaceae, native to Asian and Europe.

In the concerns of the damage of heavy metal damage to the body, researchers at the Northwest A&F University, launched an investigation to examine whether insoluble dietary fiber from carrot pomace effect in exerting the protection of the digestive tract, 

Researchers found that using the ultra-micro grinding process, the insoluble dietary fiber exerts far better potential in inhibited levels of glucose-, nitrite-, and lead ion- compared to the raw insoluble dietary fiber. 

Truly, the ultra-micro grinding process could significantly decrease the particle size of carrot insoluble dietary fiber and increase its Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area from 0.374 to 1.835 m(2) g(-1).

The method also improved the water-holding capacity, swelling capacity, and oil-holding capacity increased by 62.09%, 49.25%, and 45.45%, respectively.

These may be the reasons the insoluble dietary fiber from carrot pomace treated with an ultra-micro grinding process displays a significant effect in the protection of the digestive system through absorption of the far greater level of heavy and toxic metals.

The processed application also effectively protect Caco-2 cells from lead ion damage, according to the apoptosis assessment by AO/EB, compared to the raw contents

At the concentration of 10.0 mg, carrot insoluble dietary fiber has no toxicity for Caco-2 cells, the MTT assay showed.

The results of this study highlighted the potential of the ultra-micro grinding process to produce a high added-value fiber ingredient from carrot residue with function in protecting the gastrointestinal tract against heavy and toxic chemicals.

Taken all together, carrot’s insoluble dietary fiber may be used as a  functional food in improving the digestive function in absorbing heavy and toxic chemicals before causing harm to the body tissue and organs.
