Are There Different Ways To Detoxify
The Body?
When it comes to
detoxification, you have many choices. Even eating fruit
in the morning will have a detoxifying effect. I
recommend juice fasting but there are many alternatives
that can suit your lifestyle and personal preferences.
Juice Fasting
The best choice for detoxification,
because it supplies an abundance of nutrients, including
enzymes and calories to reduce the cleansing intensity
to a more comfortable level.

Fasting on
Lemon Juice and Honey
This is easier than water fasting. The
honey and lemon supply nutrients that assist in
detoxification and the honey reduces the rate of
cleansing to a more comfortable level.
Juice Fasting with a Blender
If you do not have a juicer, you can
fast by blending fruit and filtering it. You can add
some Sucanat or Panela for sweetness (dehydrated cane
sugar). An enema is not required as there is enough pulp
to keep the digestive system moving.
Water Fasting
Water fasting demands the most calories
therefore the cleansing is more intense.
Raw Food Diet
Similar cleansing reactions experienced
on a juice fast will also be experienced on a raw food
or fruit diet, but the process is slower. Raw nuts,
fish, or baked chicken are a good source of protein. The
diet does not have to be totally raw to work. Dairy
products, cooked starches or greasy food will halt the
detoxification for several hours. Eating
Less
This is a good way to start the
detoxification process but can require the greatest
discipline. It is hard to change a lifetime habit. Chew
food 30 times and eat smaller amounts. If you leave the
table a little hungry, the hunger subsides in a few
minutes but our emotions make this difficult to do.
Vegetarian Eating
A light, vegetarian diet will also aid
detoxification. For example, fruit for breakfast, a
salad for lunch and a meal of cooked vegetables with
some raw nuts for dinner. For best results, sparingly
eat cooked starches. Exercise
During exercise, the lymphatic system is
being flushed and the cells are being flooded with
health-giving oxygen. Walking, aerobics, sports,
stretching and light exercise can assist detoxification.
Colonic Irrigation and Enemas
An enema or colonic irrigation gently
flushes the colon with water and provides an avenue for
toxic bile to leave the body. The use of enemas should
be limited to fasting time. Misuse of enemas can affect
the normal bacterial flora of the intestine and cause a
dependency on the enema for regular elimination. A colon
flush can also greatly assist recovery from food
poisoning, stomach flues and diarrhea.
Detoxification Procedures
This includes homeopathic remedies,
ozone therapy and acupuncture, massage, thermal chambers
(sauna), herbal liver and kidney cleansing formulas,
antioxidants, mega vitamin/mineral supplements. Each
have benefits but fasting and a diet high in raw food is
always the most effective way to detoxify.
Detoxification Aids
To assist the cleansing process, drink
fresh juice made with a juice extractor once a day.
Daily take a high-quality, multi-vitamin supplement and
antioxidants such as E and Q10, and one to two
tablespoons of mixed essential oils daily such as Udo's
Choice (found in a health food store). |
