Detox and Your Body's Natural Defenses
All your internal organs work together to create your own natural detox system, which are very well adept at filtering out any materials and substances that would otherwise cause you harm.
Over thousands of years our body detox system has evolved to keep pace with our environment, but over the last few hundred years, technology has greatly increased the rate at which these toxins are produced and pumped into our environment.
The end result is that our body can't cope with the overload of toxins it is being subjected to, so it makes sense to take a few actions to help it along.
Total Body Detox Diet Tips
It is important to eat well when starting a body detox diet and avoid foods that challenge the system, but this is not the whole story. There are lots of other techniques that can support and intensify your detox efforts, helping you to shed more toxins and cleanse your whole system from top to toe. Here I'm going to take a run-down of the many treatments that you can try for yourself, in your own home, using easy-to-find products. Selenium For Natural Detox
It is estimated that the average person's daily intake of selenium was 60 micrograms in 1974 and is now only half of that.
Selenium is an essential nutrient for helping your liver detox carcinogenic chemicals. Make sure your daily supplement contains 100-200mcg.

"Must Know" Detox Facts
Bowel Movements.Ideally, food remains should pass through your digestive system within about 24 hours. However, most adults in the Western World retain waste products within their colon for between 2 and 7 days - and in some cases even longer!
This means that toxin substances have a much better chance of being reabsorbed into the blood stream again.
Another good reason why it's vital to follow a healthy detox diet, on a fairly regular basis, to help your body detox itself.

Selenium is good for lots of other things as well - like attacking viruses, protecting cells from attack by free radicals and it also plays a vital role in protecting against heart disease. Posted May 04, 2008 |
