What is a Detox?

A Detox program is nothing more than providing support for the body’s natural cleansing functions
A healthy and responsible Detox program helps the body Detox naturally by:
1)       Resting the digestive organs through fasting or eating of whole foods in small amounts
2)       Improving circulation of the blood and lymph systems
3)       Stimulating the liver to filter toxins from the body
4)       Moving the bowels and cleansing the colon
5)       Nourishing the body with essential nutrients

Detox Tip #1 Understand Why a Detox Regimen is important: With the lifestyle most of us lead on a day to day basis, we are surrounded by toxins. Eliminating these from our bodies is like a tune up.

Why do a Detox?

1. It reduces the amount of chemicals that your body is actually absorbing through the food that you eat as well as those absorbed from the environment.
2. It places a great deal of emphasis on the person to increase the amount of nutrients, vitamins and minerals that their body digests as well as increasing the amount of antioxidants as well.  All of which are suitable for helping in the detoxification process.
3. A good detox diet plan is one that will ensure that the user eats plenty of foods that contain high levels of fiber and also ensures that they consume sufficient amounts of water as well.  It is through the use of these foods and drinking plenty of water that the body can easily and effectively remove unwanted toxins and waste from the body.

The main detoxification organs/pathways are the Kidneys, Liver, Colon and Lymph and the secondary detoxification pathways are the skin and lungs. Each is just as important as the other, all working in unison to keep the body healthy and toxin-free.
Kidneys: Filter the Blood and Make Urine
Liver: Process Toxins for Elimination via Bile
Colon: Separate Toxins from Nutrients and Pass Toxins on for Elimination
Skin: A Pathway for the Release of Internal Toxins
Lungs: Bring Oxygen to the Heart and Remove Toxins through Exhale
Lymph: Transports White Blood Cells for Immunity and Removes Toxins, Wastes and Pathogens for Elimination

Detox Tip #2 Figure out what’s right for YOU:  Different people are at different stages of bodily malfunction. Determine where you fit in, and find a detox plan that will work for you.
