The 411
on Detox Diets
A healthy diet makes you live longer and
better. Detox diets promote long-term health and well-being.
Our body is constantly exposed to undefined toxins from
environment, food adulterated by chemical pesticides and
un-eliminated body waste. They keep on building up in the body
over the years, eventually leading to a number of illnesses
like weight gain, diabetes, heart problems, skin eruptions,
cancer, aches and pains, lower immunity and other diseases.
Occasional purging the body off these accumulated toxins and
chemicals through balanced natural diet helps maintaining a
healthy body.
What is Detox?
Our internal organs
eliminate waste by-products daily through sweat, faeces and
urine. Despite this, processed foods and environmental
pollutants build up toxic matter in the body, which keeps on
accumulating gradually. A simple detox diet clears the
digestive system of all harmful toxic matter. Regular
detoxification of the digestive system results in increased
stamina, energy, mental clarity, weight loss and elimination of
diseases.
Detox diets
The main idea of a detox diet is to eliminate processed foods,
meat, fish, alcohol, cigarette, tea and coffee from your diet
for a few days. Consuming natural foods, fruits and vegetables
with plenty of water helps destroying the built up chemical
wastes from the body. Fasting once a week keeps the body light
and rested. It rests the internal organs like liver, colon and
stomach. Gradually re-introduce the body to other foods, after
5 to 6 days of a detoxifying diet.
Detox diets consist of low-fat milk, yogurt, apples, orange,
peach, grapes, lemon, tomato, broccoli, beets, cauliflower,
beans, legumes, rice, barley, wheat, nuts, seeds, red and green
vegetables, etc. The diet provides up to 750 calories per day.
Drink at least 2 liters of water to keep the body hydrated.
Water also helps in flushing out toxins from the body. Staying
off meat, processed food and stimulants for a few days at
regular intervals helps keep the body energized and
lighter.
Regular body detoxification with the planned detox diet
prevents ailments and diseases, reduces weight and promotes
health. It makes for pleasurable eating while curbing the toxic
build-up of harmful chemicals in the body.
A healthy diet makes you live longer and
better. Detox diets promote long-term health and well-being.
