Or have you decided to follow a detox plan but could not face a monotonous diet of brown rice and steamed vegetables? Perhaps you want to start a detox but simply cannot find the time to prepare complicated dishes or locate unusual ingredients? Did you start to follow a plan but fell off the wagon because you got fed-up munching raw carrots while the rest of your family tucked in to a tasty steak dinner? Do you live in a cold climate and find that raw vegetable salads chill you to the bone? You know you need to detox and understand the benefits but can’t face starving yourself and feeling hungry all the time. What if you could detox and cleanse your body * without having to starve yourself * without eating all raw food * without seeking out unusual ingredients * without sprouting beans or seeds * without spending hours in your kitchen preparing complicated dishes While fresh fruit, raw vegetable juices and raw foods are often claimed to be the ultimate for detox not all health systems agree. Different Detox Approaches Ayurveda, the ancient system of medicine of India, aims to cleanse the body of substances that cause disease. It favors vegetarian foods that are light, warm, cooked and easily digestible. Freshly made light soups, dhal and organic vegetables cooked with spices are used for cleansing. The Macrobiotic diet that originated from Japan is often recommended for cancer and other chronic diseases because it encourages detoxification. Their guidelines recommend that only one third of your vegetable intake should be raw. The Chinese system finds that many conditions result from cold and damp and advise the use of cooked, warm foods to help balance the body’s energies to rekindle the digestive fire. So how come all these health systems work? Researchers have discovered that certain foods support liver detoxification, the body’s main detox organ. But why do you need to detox? Many doctors argue that your body detoxifies every day so detox diets are not necessary. It’s perfectly true that your body has a very sophisticated detox system but they overlook the fact that everyone from newborn babies to elderly folk carry a surprising number of toxic chemicals in their bodies. These toxic chemicals come from the food you eat, water you drink, air that you breathe, things that you put on your skin and products you use for cleaning your home. These foreign chemicals have overwhelmed your detox system. They clog up your body affecting your cells and joints. This leads to altered and decreased function of: * your nervous system * your immune system * your heart and circulation system * your glandular system Many practitioners of Natural Medicine believe that the wide range of chronic symptoms and diseases suffered by so many people today stem from underlying toxicity. If you suffer from tiredness, headaches, constipation, digestive problems, frequent colds, flu and other infections, allergies, joint and muscular problems and even the inability to loose weight you could benefit from a detox. It is becoming increasingly difficult to remain healthy in today’s world, but a regular detox can play a significant part in keeping healthy and in overcoming long standing health problems. Also, although the purpose of a detox is not weight-loss, many detoxers do experience just that. How would you like to have * much more energy and feel invigorated * increased stamina * clear glowing skin * improved digestion – no gas or bloating * better immune system – no more colds and infections * no joint or muscle pain * enhanced mental alertness * restful sleep and wake refreshed * decreased cravings for unhealthy food Well you can experience all this with regular cleansing and detox. You don’t have to starve yourself or feel hungry all the time to detox. Detox is about giving your body the right nutrition so that your cells have enough energy and the right nutrients for the detox system to work. Throw out the Junk Food Practitioners of natural medicine have shown that by giving your body a rest from heavy, hard to digest and nutrient deficient, processed foods and by increasing easily digested highly nutritious food and juices many of your ailments and chronic symptoms can simply vanish. When the quality of the food coming into your body is of higher quality than the tissues which your body is made of remarkable things start to happen. Your body starts to spring clean, removing the toxins stored in the tissues to make room for the superior materials which it uses to make new and healthier tissue.
