Detoxing is a natural process your body goes through that gets rid of debris known as toxins.
Under normal conditions, our bodies are designed to eliminate these toxins through the liver,
kidneys, lymphatic system, and skin.
There are many reasons why detoxing is so vital to our body system as far as our environment is concerned.
There is the problem of our chemical environment due to pollutants as a result of industrialization.
And the majority of our food is grown with pesticides in an effort to reduce insect and bacterial infestation in order to produce a higher yield.
One only needs to go down any grocery aisle and read labels to realize just how many dyes and preservatives we eat on a daily basis.
If you take a step back in time, even only 30 to 40 years, you would realize how different we ate back then.
If you didn’t grow your own organic food you would probably have gone to your butcher on a daily basis and purchased fresh hormone-free meat
and then would have gone to the market to purchase fresh organic produce.
The word organic was probably not something you would have associated with food back then.
The very air we breathe constantly is somewhat polluted.
We drink high fructose drinks,
lots of canned goods, and an incredible amount of sodium.
I’m not saying to eat this way because we all like to indulge now and again
but if you eat a normal American diet high in salt, sugar, and preservatives, and canned goods,
then you may be doing a disservice to yourself because you may feel full but be severely lacking in nutrients.
There are various things you can do to undo toxicity.
Liver and kidney cleansers are great but if you are not inclined to do these
then there are other solutions such as taking a hot bath for a half-hour
or sweat out toxins in a sauna.
If you do, then make sure you have eaten well and drink as many as 8 glasses of water
so your blood sugar does not drop and that you stay well hydrated.
Not only do you lose toxins this way but you also lose water, salt, and potassium that can make you feel lightheaded.
There are some great herbal teas that you can drink on a regular basis that also gently cleanse the body,
hydrate you, have antioxidant properties, and help flush out toxins.
It is a warm and refreshing way to relax and do the body good.
Juicing fruits and vegetables is a fantastic way of getting more nutrients in the body because you are maintaining the integrity of the nutrients.
If you are putting vegetables in a pot to boil, then you will have a nutrient loss.
This is called bleaching and all the goodness goes into the water.
If you overcook food and then throw out the water, then your nutrients just went down the drain and you are ingesting the remaining bleached husk.
Raw or juiced is the way to go!
Because we have nutrient deficient soil it is advisable to take supplements
that bolster your immune systems such as Q-10, Vitamins A, D, E, C, and B vitamins.
Trace minerals and electrolytes are necessary to keep our systems in shape.
Avoid sports drinks that are high in sugar but instead get good quality electrolytes from a health food store.
