The first thing to do in order to begin a body detox
program is to get rid of all the chemical based toiletries
and household products you have been using. So, it is time
for all those cleansers, shampoos and deodorants to go.
Replace them with nature based products instead. Also
strictly abstain from the temptations of alcohol, caffeine,
cigarettes, unsaturated fat and refined sugars.
Stress is another silent enemy. A temporary pumping up of
adrenaline is very good to meet that extra deadline, but
regular stress causes your liver to slow down the
detoxifying process.
Before embarking on any body detox program it is best to
know which one is best for you. The duration of the program
may vary from 7 days to more than 2 weeks.
There are quite a few other popular and useful detox
methods from which to choose. Here are a couple of body
detox plans and the benefits they have to offer:
1) Body Detox Program #1: Cleaning supplement packages,
which are easily available in the market. They usually
contain fiber, vitamins and minerals, and are good for
cleansing.
2) Body Detox Program #2: There was an ancient practice in
many cultures of following the regimen of drinking only
water one day of the week. Needless to say, it is extremely
effective as a body detox program.
It is, however, important to remember that after a detox
program is over, you have to follow it up with an overall
healthy lifestyle. Here are some post body detox program
diets that you should follow:-
a) Eat brown rice and organically grown fruits and veggies
with plenty of fibers. Also include cabbage, broccoli,
radishes, seaweed etc in your diet.
b) Drink green tea and eat dandelion roots, burdock and
milk thistle to cleanse your liver.
c) Remember to take plenty of Vitamin C to produce
glutathione to maintain your liver.
d) It is advisable to drink 2 quarts of water everyday and
inhale deeply to cleanse and regulate oxygen in your body.
Also, think positive thoughts. It helps reduce stress
levels.
e) For Hydrotherapy, take a very hot shower for 5 minutes,
and follow it up with a cold shower for 30 seconds. Then,
lie down for 30 minutes, and you will be fresh and cleansed.
f) In order to remove toxins through your pores, you can
dry brush your skin or try detoxifying patches and foot
baths. Perspiring in a sauna to get rid of toxins through
sweat is another great idea.
g) Exercise regularly. Go for daily walks and practice yoga
or qigong.
A word of warning though; There may, however, be certain
side-effects to all this. Some of these include:-
i) Bad breath
ii) Headaches
iii) Body odor
iv) Fatigue
v) Skin rashes
vi) Mucous discharge
vii) Abdominal gas and rumbling.
viii) Cold feet and hands
ix) Joint pains
x) Sleeplessness
But remember that not everyone suffers like this. In my
first body detox program, I had terrible headaches and body
pains for the first two days. But I did not give up. And
now, I am extremely proud of myself.
After my first body detox program, which continued for 6
weeks, I have continued living a healthy lifestyle. I
exercise regularly, and try to detox at least twice a year,
you should too; it really works!
