If you are trying a detox diet for first time, then you need to start with gentle cleanse that targets the intestines. If you focus on the liver first, the released toxins in your body may become reabsorbed if the bowels are not detoxified first and are not moving adequately enough to expel them.

A typical detox diet program may consist of fasting, specific diet, nutritional supplements, herbs, hydrotherapy, exercise, and sauna.

Fasting

You can either fast by drinking only water, juices or broths or by eating one kind of food exclusively for a period of time.

Fasting is great for detox and obtaining better health. While fasting your body adapts to the lack of incoming protein by drawing upon almost solely fat for energy. Your metabolism will slow, so physical and mental activity should be minimized during a fast.

Water fasting – you can consume only water. Your body doesn’t spend any energy on digestion of foods, resulting in more energy for your body to expel toxins.

Detoxification is a natural process your body performs routinely everyday, releasing stored toxins and expelling them through the elimination organs: the intestines, liver, lungs, kidneys and skin.

Detox Diet is a dietary nutritious plan used for weight loss by cleaning out your body cells from stored toxins.

Detox Diet – why do you need it?

The reason why you need a detox diet is that your daily ingest of toxins is too much for your body to eliminate through its regular daily detox processes.

I can’t list all the symptoms, but I can assure you that toxins are all around you – in food and food additives, drugs, alcohol, tobacco, pesticides etc.

There are toxins formed during the metabolic processes in your body that can harm your body cells and tissues functioning. Usually your body eliminates most toxins and the rest are stored within body fat.
