Much has been written about the detox diet (detoxification) over the decades. It seems the past ten years, roughly, have seen an explosion of these diets. The basic principle is the same across all of them, and that is to use foods (or liquids) to help your body get rid of toxins. First, we must caution you and suggest you talk to your doctor before embarking on any kind of detox diet. Many people turn to this overall approach when they want to lose weight. While it is possible to achieve that, we feel the loss will be temporary for a variety of reasons. We will talk more about the detox diet in the rest of this article.
There are two basic approaches with many types of detox diets. First, the diet calls for avoiding foods that are known to introduce toxins in your body. Naturally, that is probably something every person should do, anyway. Secondly, the particular diet will recommend you eat foods, or drink liquids, that support the body's ability to process and eliminate toxins. There is a fairly large variety of detox diets, and frequently they also require that your intake of calories is reduced, as well. You will find some that have you eat much smaller portions or even go on liquid fasting such as with juices, only.
When you find a detox diet you are drawn to, make sure you get all the information that is available. The reason for this is some are more difficult and severe than others. There are some diets that detoxify that are manageable and won't strain the body too much. There is a range of suggested durations for many diets of this kind such as three, five or seven days. You should be in decent to good physical condition if attempting a longer period of time. When you only drink juice or water for a long amount of time, it has the reputation of getting rid of the poison in your system. However, a lot of the public attain this in an environment that is controlled where skilled supervision can watch you.
The liver is one of the primary organs involved with detoxification. Since plants have been used for healing, it is not a surprise that herbs can be found that give optimal support to the liver. Chlorella, Burdock root, Milk Thistle and quite a few others are known to have this effect. Many support preparations help to keep the liver healthy and creating antioxidants and enzymes that are required for detox activity. The largest organ in the body is the skin, and it has an important part in keeping the body detoxed. Brushing the skin regularly will help keep the pores open, so poisons can be released from the body. Dry brushing helps remove dead skin cells, thus keeping the skin pores open and stimulating blood flow.
Probably every adult could use a reliable and safe form of detox diet after a certain number of years. Cultures that eat highly processed foods, such as America, would definitely benefit from an annual detoxification. Unfortunately, maybe the resistance of social elements opposed to alternative methods contribute to detox diets being less recognized and accepted.
