Detoxing your body

What is detoxification?

Our bodies do it naturally every day. Detoxification is a normal body process of eliminating or neutralizing toxins through the colon, liver, kidneys, lungs, lymph and skin. But in our world today, body systems and organs that were once capable of cleaning out unwanted substances are now completely overloaded; thus many unwanted substances stay in our tissues. Our bodies try to protect us from harmful material by setting it aside, surrounding it with mucus or fat so it won't cause imbalance or trigger an immune reaction. (Your body stores foreign substances in its aftty deposits - a siginificant reason to keep your body fat low. Some people carry up to 15 extra pounds of mucous that harbours this waste!)
Ideally, we should live in a pollution free environment, eat untainted foods and drink pure water. This isn't practical, so the next nest thing is to keep pollutants to a minimum and to periodically get rid of them through a detoxification programme

Why should I detoxify?

Our chemicalized-food diet, with too much animal protein, too much fat, too much caffeine and alcohol radically alters our internal ecosystems. Even if your diet is good , a cleanse can restor

Take two weeks out of your life to detox.The programme is a holistic one, that is, covers many parts of the way you live. Diet is very important. Try to drink at least 8 glasses of water per day in addition to fruit or vegetable juices to ease the likely hood of headaches and bad breath. Eat only fresh and simply prepared foods. Your diet should be low in fat with little dairy and no fried foods.

Many people cannot cut out alcohol, so just try and reduce this as much as possible. A few glasses of quality wine or natural beer - it's only for a few weeks, tell your self and see how it goes on a daily basis. If that seems to long, try it just for today. Make "having a drink" a very special occasion rather than an everyday one.
