The Detox Diets And Cleansing Programs: Start Small Steps

Author: Bobby Pasat

ten see as treatment for drugs or alcohols dependence, but it is far from that. A detox cure and cleansing program must be followed at least once per year by everyone of us in order to remove dietary and environmental toxins from the body, for better general health.
The main organ involved in the detox (short for detoxification) is the liver. What you can do is to add to your diet some supplements, herbal tea, nutrients or food that are increasing the capacity of this organ to process the toxins. I do not suggest to buy the miracle drugs for liver detoxification, I personally prefer a holistic approach to detox, but in this case some multivitamins and minerals, some chamomile tea (2-3 cups/day) won't do no harm. In pharmacies you might find a complex of vitamins especially designed to increase liver processing capacity. An extra-protection for this organ will help increase your capacity to process and finally eliminate more toxicity from the body.
The detox diet role is to enhance your body organ performances, blood circulation and blood quality. As an end result the toxic substances from what we take in daily will be eliminated successfully and – hopefuly - entirely from our body.
If you prefer a period of transition between your regular diet and the new one, you can give one helpful hand to your body and adding some supplements to your regular meals. Of course, my advice is to also cut little by little the quantities of coffee, alcohol, fried foods or very salty foods. You might replace them with healthier alternatives. Start avoiding extremely processed foods and if you cannot give up on meat, use instead organic, antibiotic free meat. Try to put some fish in your diet that might replace slowly the beef or the chicken. Not any kind of fish, tough: trout or fish from cold water is the one you would want to add to your menu (because of their content in good fats and Omega 3).
If you are not a great fan of long detox cures, that are involving sometimes fastening (more or less) or are involving a program which is a bit more strict from the point of view of what you are eating / drinking during such a cure, than one thing that you can do is to give you a bit of time to adapt.
