I have never really understood why people make a fuss about detox, and at some point it almost became a trend or fashion accessory to undergo some sort of a detox programme. The perception is that people use detox as a quick diet fix without really understanding the implications or benefits it offers for the body. So I made it my mission to understand why I should at least once or twice a year undergo some sort of detox programme, and hope this will also help you decide if this is something you should consider. Detoxing is meant to help you cleanse and clear unwanted toxins and waste from your body. It leaves your skin looking healthy, vibrant and rejuvinates the body.
You should consider detox if:
• You are forever feeling tired
• You are experiencing skin problems, aches or digestive problems
• Have been straying from your healthier habits
• Having problems dropping that bit of access weight
Detox methods available:
• 3 day eating plan involving only vegetables, fresh fruit and loads of water
• Using a sauna or steam bath – this helps open pores and assists toxins to leave your body
• Going on a liquid only fast – drinking water and 100% juice for 2-3 days straight
• Commercial Methods:
- Buying detox tablets from a pharmacy, i.e dischem has BePure Detox Liquid which you use for 3 days, it also comes with a eating plan for the 3 days at a mere R89.95
* Body detoxification methods should always include an abundance of water, because this nutrient is essential to good health and the waste elimination process. Without this life sustaining fluid you will dehydrate and this will also make it harder to flush out any poisons and garbage.
* It is advisable to ensure that your state of health is good before undertaking a detox programme as well as seeking medical advice on which one is best for you to avoid getting sick from it.
* You will be continuously visiting the ladies/gents, so be prepared for this
