As the saying goes, "Food is the most important thing for the people". With the development of agriculture, pesticides are widely used, diseases and insect pests cannot be treated without spraying pesticides, and all kinds of diseases caused by pesticide residues are becoming more and more serious, which poses an unprecedented threat to human health.

Studies have shown that long-term consumption of fruits and vegetables with pesticide residues, the human body will deposit a certain amount of pesticides can not be excreted, and through the blood circulation to all parts of the body, leading to the outbreak of disease!

Do you know the harm caused by pesticide residues in the body? In fact, it can be divided into three types: acute poisoning, chronic poisoning and "three causes" harm.

1. Acute poisoning

After the body suddenly ingests too much pesticide, it will cause acute poisoning reaction, and acute poisoning will often cause a large number of casualties, which is the most obvious, the most common and the highest lethal pesticide hazard.

2. Chronic poisoning

Long-term contact or consumption of food containing pesticide residues will make pesticide residues accumulate in the body, resulting in a potential threat to the body. Although it will not cause obvious poisoning symptoms of the body in a short period of time, it will gradually cause chronic damage, such as destroying the normal function of the body's nervous system, causing babies to have immune deficiencies, affecting male fertility, and so on. Although the chronic harm of pesticides can not directly endanger human life, but it can reduce human immunity, thus affecting human health, resulting in an increase in the prevalence and mortality of other diseases.

3. "three causes" harm (carcinogenic, malformed, mutagenic)

In fact, the harm of pesticide residues is not only poisoning, but also the "three causes", that is, carcinogenicity, malformation and mutagenesis. Research shows that. More than 85% of cancers are related to pesticide residues; relevant epidemiological investigations show that the incidence of malignant tumors is increasing year by year, which has something to do with pesticide residues in vegetables. Pesticide residues, as toxic substances, have the power to change genetic genes and cause fetal deformities, which is far more harmful than alcohol and tobacco.

So, how to avoid the intake of pesticide residues?

The most thorough way to avoid human intake of pesticide residues is, of course, to control the source, reduce the use of pesticides or use pesticides within a safe range, but this is also the most difficult. For us ordinary people, the most effective thing is to reduce the "disease from the mouth", that is, to reduce the intake of pesticide residues, import things should be cleaned.

Here are some cleaning methods for removing pesticide residues in fruits and vegetables:

For those that can be peeled, such as white radish, wax gourd, pumpkin and towel gourd, it is best to wash the skin and peel it off.

For those that are not peeled but with a slightly smooth skin (such as apples that are not recommended for peeling), you can use a toothbrush and rinse with warm water

If the skin is not easy to clean, you can wash it with salt or even flour (such as grapes).

For all fruits and vegetables, it is best to soak for a while and add some salt.

For cabbage and other leafy vegetables, the outer leaves can be removed, and the internal leaves can be simply washed.
