How To Detox With A Healthy Detox Diet
When looking into starting a body detox plan the first time, time spent learning how to detox the right way will pay off in droves when you eventually start your detox diet. Here's some healthy detox tips to get you started:
Cut out bad habits
Some detox diet program would have you cutting down overnight to a diet of raw vegetable juices accompanied by their recommended vitamin and herbal supplements. They require you to go cold turkey on caffeine, alcohol, wheat, dairy, salt, sugar, processed foods and many other toxin-laden or difficult-to-digest substances.
It's bad detox tips like these that have given detoxification a bad name in certain medical circles, because they would make you feel very ill if you tried them. A lifetime's worth of pesticide residues, drugs and other poisons stored in the fat cells is suddenly broken down and released into the bloodstream, causing all kinds of unpleasant symptoms. These can seriously compromise your immune and nervous systems and interfere with the action of your thyroid gland, and you would have been much better off staying as you were.
A balanced diet
Another criticism that the medical establishment fires at detox diets is that they are lacking in protein and essential nutrients that the liver requires in order to metabolize food. On my site at healthydetoxdiettips.com we look at how to select your detox drinks and foods to keep your diet balanced.
Quick-fix detox diets, like crash diets, are not successful methods of losing weight, because when your body is deprived of food it goes into starvation mode and will retain all the calories it can to supply energy. When you start eating normally again, your metabolism will still be programmed to retain calories and so you could put on weight very rapidly. The first step in this gentle and natural detoxification program is to cut out any bad habits, such as smoking, excessive drinking of alcohol or caffeine, use of street drugs or over-the-counter medications.
WARNING: Don't stop taking any prescription medication without discussing it with your doctor.
