The Biggest Obstacles to Any Full Body Detox

The Biggest Obstacles to Any Full Body Detox
Obstacles are bound to crop up during any full body detox.
In order to allow your program to work, you must deal with
these right away. There is no point in going through with
a natural body detox if you are not willing to cut those
things out of your life as they will continue to allow
toxins in your system. This is a lifetime process.

1. Nicotine: If you're a smoker, don't even bother with a
body detox program unless you are committed to quit.
Besides being deadly, there are hundreds of carcinogens and
tons of other chemicals that will hinder your ability to
follow a body detox program. Slowly wean yourself off of
smoking or go to your doctor for help.

2. Stress: Even if you think you are doing everything
right, your whole body detox will never work if you're
constantly stressed out. Stress triggers hormones that
slow the process, and can keep a full body detox form
working. Be sure you deal with stress as soon as it comes
up through meditation, exercise or whatever works.

3. UV Rays: Frying on a tanning bed wreaks havoc on any
body detox diet, so does spending hours in the sun leaving
your skin unprotected. UV damages your body and piles the
toxins on. Be sure to wear a sunscreen with an SPF of at
least 15, and reapply after a couple of hours in the sun.

4. Not getting enough nutrients in your diet: Certain
B-vitamins, beta-carotene, and other nutrients are vital to
any body detox diet. Be sure to eat plenty of leafy
greens, including seaweed. Bulk up on fiber and eat plenty
of brown rice. Take a multivitamin daily. Omega 3s and/or
fish oil is also a good thing to add.

5. Ingesting chemicals: A total body detox includes
shunning all toxins. Try to eat as many organic foods as
possible, keeping away from foods that may have pesticides,
BGH, and other chemicals. Try shopping at farmer's market
or your local produce stand to avoid paying the higher
prices in specialty markets.

6. Staying dehydrated: Eight glasses a day is no longer the
recommended amount of water you should drink. Divide by
your weight in lbs by two, and drink that many ounces of
water daily. Hydration will help you feel refreshed and
move those toxins out of your pores.

7. Cut back on prescriptions: While some medications are
necessary, cut back on any painkillers or other medications
that are not for chronic or life threatening conditions.
Some of these medications are actually bad for your liver
and will hinder the whole body detox.

Remember that there is no way you can cut all this out at
once. Easy does it. Gradually cut back on the harmful
things and work in the good stuff. Don't think of this as
punishment or some kind of restriction. These are
lifestyle changes, an essential to making any body detox
program work.
