第247期：你试过master cleanse吗？据说很神奇。

今天我们要讲的这个词跟健康有关，在国外风行过一阵子。不知读者中有没有人尝试过master cleanse。

Master cleanse有好几种汉语译名：净化断食法、清肠禁食、柠檬水减肥法等。

Wikipedia说，Master Cleanse is a modified juice fast that permits no food, substituting tea and lemonade made with maple syrup and cayenne pepper. Proponents claim that the diet detoxifies（排毒） the body and removes excess fat. There is no scientific evidence that
the diet removes any toxins, or that it achieves anything beyond
temporary weight loss.

据说可以清肠排毒和减肥，佛老没试过，不过接受这个理念。

这种健康理念和方法的发明人叫Stanley Burroughs，1940年首次提出，曾经颇风靡过一阵子。但没有科学实验证明过其宣称的疗效。

其实这种方法的关键在早晨的淡盐水和柠檬水，下面我们来看一下具体怎么做。

How to do The Master Cleanse

1. Start each morning with a “Salt Water Flush”

Salt Water Flush Directions

• Add 2 level teaspoons of non-iodized sea salt（不加碘的海盐） to a full quart of lukewarm water（温水）. Drink the entire quart of salt and water first thing in the morning. NOTE: This must be taken on an empty stomach.

重点：空腹温开水中加两平勺盐

2. Drink 6 or more glasses of the Master Cleanse organic lemonade mixture throughout the day.

3. Optional: Drink an occasional cup of organic peppermint tea
4. End each day with a cup of Smooth Move® or other senna-based tea.

有兴趣的朋友可以搜索一下master cleanse，美国有几个健康网站有详细的方法介绍和指导。
