Cleanse Yourself and do Body Detox for better Health

There's fast food and processed food and practically a deluge of preservatives in the food we take in these days. Our awareness on healthy lifestyle, particularly healthy eating started at the height of the uproar over the use of genetically-modified organisms of fast food chains like Mc Donalds.

People are starting to be more aware of their food intake, starting a new hype over the need for detoxification. Detoxification is the process of removing toxic substances from the body. Primarily referred to as a treatment for alcohol and drug dependence, body detox can also refer to the use of diets, herbs and other methods to remove toxins from the body for general health.

So, are you thinking of cleansing your body? Here are a few tips for healthy and wise and effective detoxification.

Go for a non-toxic lifestyle. This means going for natural food, drinking lots of fluids, especially water, exercising regularly and avoiding toxic food like junkfood, canned good, and other processed food. At the same time, you can try out a Detox Diet that will cleanse your body and give relief to body aches, allergies, digestive problems and other related concerns.

If you"re on a detox program, take as much fresh fruits and vegetables as possible, nuts, beans, rice and grains. On the other hand, take note not to indulge in sugar, caffeine, yeast, alcohol, chocolates and other food rich in additives and preservatives.

Plan your detox program. You can do a weekend fast. It is good to start on a Friday, with the weekend giving you the transition in and out of your detox program. Likewise, make sure that your detox plan is something that you can follow. Detoxifying does not mean starving yourself.

Appreciate nature. Exercise outdoors. The fresh air can do wonders for your lungs and circulation. If you live near the beach, it's always good to take a walk or sprint early morning by the seashore. Have a balanced schedule of activity that will give you time for work and fun at the same time. Try yoga or palates. Skip rope or walk in your neighborhood. Do anything to keep that body of yours up and running and always on the go.

Go for the spa. Take a shower and do skin brushing to help you detoxify. Rubbing your skin improves circulation and helps you shed off those dead skin layer.

Make sure that you have a regular bowel movement. Eat food rich in fiber. There's also tea and other herbs which can help aid bowel movement. When you"re detoxifying, bowel movement is important as it lessens the possibility of toxins being absorbed into the body.

Be positive. A healthy mind means a healthy body. Rid yourself of all negative thoughts. They"re added toxins to the body. Smile and have the will and the commitment to your detox plan.

It's never too late to start cleansing yourself, especially your body. With our hurried lifestyle in this up and busy and polluted world, we"re all entitled to some personal pleasures as simple as taking care of our health. Body detox may be as simple as ridding yourself of your negative thoughts by taking a walk in the park and letting the fresh air wash over your thoughts. Or it can be as complicated as following a strict detox diet to eliminate toxins in our digestive system. Whatever it is, the important thing is, you find a way to cleanse yourself.

I did try a little detox this past weekend. I did not eat anything but some fruit. I drank water and fruit juices. The ones that had no added sugar. I felt pretty good about it. I will see how it goes when I do it again the last weekend of October.

I need to do something like this. I usually will fast one day a month. Sometimes I will just eat fruit and juice for a day. I think it would be beneficial if I did it more often. I know I feel much better after a day of cleansing.

I did a program that was 2 weeks when I first started Weight Watchers. I wanted to get a jump start on getting that crud out of my system. I did one again about June. I am getting ready to do a new one tomorrow that is a different one that lasts for 4 weeks. I think they really help and the ones I use are just over the counter at Wal-mart. I know there are even better ones out there.

Bring me a copy of it to the meeting tomorrow. I just think I need to do something like this to get all the toxins out of my body. With all the crud I have had it can't hurt.

Detox 101

I do a colon cleanse and full body cleanse now. I do it every 4 to 6 months. The ones I do usually last about 4 weeks. I feel great afterward. They work.

People don't really like to talk about colon cleanses. I love talking about them for just that reason.

The first time I did one this strange skin like stuff came out. I wish I would have taken pictures of it. I would love to share that with you all.
