Cleansing Diet

A cleansing diet is a way to rid your body of any excess. When people speak of a cleansing diet it could mean one of several different types of approaches to the cleanse. Some cleansing diets involve eating only one or two different types of foods. Some cleansing diets involve eating no food at all and drinking only liquids. Some types of cleanses allow the person to eat several types of foods. It is really very personal and individualized on what type of cleansing diet you select.

We are all exposed to chemical toxins in our every day life. We often do not stop to think about this, but it is true. By following a cleansing diet every few months or so it will rid us of these toxins and allow our bodily systems to function more efficiently.

A popular type of cleansing diet is drinking only bottled water and freshly squeezed juices. You would not want to stay on a cleansing diet too long due to its intensity, but a popular length of time for a cleansing diet is approximately 5 to 7 days.

Another common practice in a cleansing diet is a vegan type of diet consisting of uncooked, all natural fruits and vegetables. No meat or carbohydrates are eaten on this type of a diet. Beverages consist of either water or freshly squeezed juices.

It is important to remember that although a cleansing diet is a good practice every so often if you do start to feel ill you should eat a little something more substantial. You do not need to eat a full course meal, but only to nibble on something that is a bit more filling. You should also remember that it is advisable to take a multivitamin every day, drink plenty of water, get an adequate amount of sleep or even a little bit more sleep than usual, and always check with your doctor first to get his approval on participating in a cleansing diet.

When you are nearing the end of your cleansing diet you should gradually introduce any food back in to your body a little bit at a time. You do not want to shock or overload your body all at once. Remember that your body has gone without its normal every day intake now for a few days or more. It will need time to readjust. Light eating is best after your body has readjusted. Your body does not need to be weighed back down with all kinds of heavy caloric intake.

A toxin-free body is an ideal goal to aim for. A toxin-laden body cannot work at peak performance and bodily systems will be prone to upset. Detoxify yourself every so often with a cleansing diet to keep your body machine running at its best.

3-day detox diet

3-day detox diet

The 3-day detox diet is used primarily to rid your body of built up toxins that lurk in your bodily systems. Toxins are all around us, but most people are not aware of the effects that it can have on your body. Due to all types of environmental influences, toxins can build up in your body and make it function at less than an optimum level, making us feel run down.

This 3-day detox diet is accomplished using natural fruit and vegetables that are uncooked. When you first start on this 3-day detox diet you may feel some of the symptoms of the toxins that will leave your body. Some of these signs and symptoms could include things such as diarrhea and headache. These and other signs and symptoms will appear to be typical flu-like reactions. Drinking plenty of water and good oral care will help to combat some of these effects of detoxification.

To put this detox diet into action you will want to eliminate any caffeine products, such as caffeine containing soft drinks, tea, and coffee. You should not eat anything that is cooked and mainly stick to fruits and vegetable sources. You may squeeze your juice and drink it instead if you like, but nothing artificial should be a part of your diet.

Do not give your body a variety and do not eat at your typical breakfast, lunch, and dinner times. Instead let your body decide when it is hungry and then feed it only one type of vegetable at this time. Only eat until your body says that it has had enough. Do not overfill yourself. When you tire of this particular food item, choose another and so on. After eating this particular food item and decide you do not want it anymore it is your body’s way of telling you, “no more.” It will taste differently and will not be as appealing as it had been. Other items like nuts may also be added for variety.

During your 3-day detox diet make sure to get adequate fluid intake and implement a multivitamin into your diet if you have not already been doing that. You should also take care to get an adequate amount, if not increased amounts of sleep.

This 3-day detox diet should only be carried out for the stated 3 days. At the end of this time period introduce new foods back into your diet gradually so as not to shock your body. Your body should feel a renewed strength and increased energy levels.

As with any diet you should first check with your physician and gain his approval on whether or not you can partake in a 3-day detox diet.
