      can drinks

      Researchers surveyed 22 types of beverages and found that canned beverages have the highest aluminum content, which is 3 to 6 times that of bottled beverages. The best way to avoid this hazard is to drink less canned drinks.

      seafood

      In recent years, ocean pollution has become serious, and the bodies of shellfish and marine fish have become "inhabitants" of heavy metals such as mercury and arsenic. Especially fish cultured offshore are even worse, such as hairtail, yellow croaker, etc. It is recommended that you try to eat pelagic deep-sea fish, such as Spanish mackerel, sardines, etc. American nutritionists suggest that fish should be small, no more than one kind per day, and less than 100 grams. Avoid or eat less fish heads, skins, offal, eggs and fins, as these can easily harbor heavy metals.

      Songhua eggs

      Preserved eggs made by traditional crafts are contaminated by lead. There are now lead-free preserved eggs on the market, and everyone should read the labels clearly when purchasing. In addition, you can dip some vinegar when eating preserved eggs to reduce the body's absorption of toxic substances.

      animal offal

      Despite their unique nutritional content, animal offal is highly prone to heavy metal deposition. The monitoring of food contaminants in the province announced by the Hubei Provincial Department of Health shows that the metal cadmium content in animal kidneys exceeds the national standard value by 100 times. It is recommended to eat offal only once or twice a week, with no more than 50 grams each time.

      In addition, some foods can help the body detoxify. For example, eating more foods rich in minerals, such as nuts, and foods high in dietary fiber, such as oats and celery, can reduce the absorption rate of heavy metals. Vegetables and fruits rich in vitamin C can promote the excretion of heavy metals.
