We ingest many toxins every day through the food, water and air we breathe. The accumulation of toxins and heavy metals in the body leads to damage to a number of systems in the body, slow metabolism, fatigue and tiredness, poor skin, hair and difficulty cooling the body (sweating), bloating and malaise and irritability.
Detoxification may be compatible with diet, but I personally recommend doing it in preparation for entering a diet.
Gradual entry and exit from the diet gives much better results, prolongs the realization time, but the results are lasting and our body does not fall into deficit and we reduce appetite.
This means that if you purify your body, you can not only expect to feel better, but you will also maximise the results of your diet.
Detoxification is not a diet or a regime. It is important to know that detoxification is done a maximum of twice a year, when the body's metabolic processes are at their peak, namely in spring and autumn.
We will not make a mistake if we do it at another time of the year, but it is important not to overdo it, because in addition to the bad ones, we expel some of the good bacteria from the body, and they support the proper functioning of peristalsis.
There are different ways to cleanse our body from the inside with natural products that do not act aggressively on the body.
Consuming moderate amounts of plant juices may be the best way to help clear impurities in your body without resorting to consuming whole liquid foods or medications that would stress our body and lead to unwanted results after completion of cleansing therapy.
The purpose of the detoxification program described below is to help clear toxins and toxins from our bodies, restore the health and integrity of cells and supply enough nutrients to them so that we eliminate any deficiencies in our body and normalize our hormones.
The main mistake that a large percentage of people make is that they confuse detoxification with weight loss. They start following a purification regimen that aims to clear out the waste accumulated in the intestines and all the toxins in the rest of the body, but they don't follow it within three to ten days, but continue for a much longer period.
Losing weight, of course, there is, but deficiencies that arise in the body become so dangerous that, firstly, our health is threatened, and secondly, the moment we start eating normally, the body will absorb the missing substances and hold on as long as possible and this will lead to weight gain.
Speaking of weight loss and purification we can't help, but mention the mistake number two - fasting. And yes, I am not talking about well-known Fasting, but about the conscious consumption of a small amount of food to “better”clear toxins. Stop, please! Do you really think eating two large, nutritious, high-fiber, high-nutrient apples per day is good for you?
An insufficient amount of food can create serious health problems, so we must strictly follow the principles of detoxification at home and in no case significantly limit portions. If you experience nausea, vomiting, fatigue or dizziness during detox, stop the regimen immediately.
There are detoxification methods that are administered under clinical supervision. In this case, there is a restriction of portions to a minimum amount. But it is applied individually to each patient and applies to people with diseases.
We choose some random product in the form of a detox supplement without caring about its origin and quality because of the promised quick result.
There are more than 40 million detoxification products in the market and on the Internet, many of them promising incredible results such as weight loss, complete recovery from a serious illness, a surge of energy and a number of other great, but incredible effects and in a minimal period.
A very common mistake is buying a detox product without researching it beforehand and making the purchase based on an advertisement.
Detoxification is a means of maintaining health. As a result of our lifestyle and especially after consuming foods with unnatural fats, sugar, enhancers and preservatives, toxins and free radicals accumulate in our body, which destroy cells.
An increase in the number of free radicals in the body can increase the risk of diseases such as cancer, sclerosis, inflammatory processes in the body and many others.
Through detoxification, we support our body efforts neutralize toxins and radicals by first eliminating sell-polluting foods such as convenience foods and fast foods and replacing them with fiber-rich foods.
Supports memory, concentration and supports brain health. And recent research suggests that our mood and our ability to communicate are affected by brain health.
No other organ in the human body needs detoxification as much as the brain. The accumulated radicals in it lead to a delay in cognitive abilities or co-called “brain fog”, as well as to the death of brain cells for which there is still no evidence whether they can be restored.
To get the most out of detoxification we need to include foods rich in B and K vitamins.
Losing a kilos is a benefit that attracts a large number of people. Since fiber-rich foods such as vegetables, fruits, nuts and seeds are consumed during purification, at the expense of high-calorie foods excluded from the menu, the fat around our abdomen decreases.
During detoxification, the body also gets rid of retained fluids, which further effects weight loss, reduces puffiness at the face and limbs and the skin becomes hydrated and radiant.
Now that you’ve taken the necessary steps to purify your body, let’s start with the first day: detoxing the liver.
