Detoxification: Is Detoxing good for your body?

Detoxification is the process of removing toxic substances from a person’s body. A detox diet helps take away toxins in the body that are the result of eating, absorbing, and inhaling all sorts of chemicals seen and unseen. These toxins can destroy body tissues and cause serious health problems over time. 

If that doesn't mean anything to you, detoxification basically mean cleaning the blood. It does this mainly by removing impurities from the blood in the liver, where toxins are processed for elimination. The body eliminates toxins through the liver and uses the kidneys, intestines, lungs, lymph and skin to excrete them. However, when this system is compromised, impurities aren't properly filtered and every cell in the body is adversely affected.

My recommendation is that everyone should detox at least twice a year. A short detoxifying program or whole body cleanse is generally safe; in fact, scientific studies show that a detox is beneficial for health. I don't recommend Women that are nursing, children, or people who have chronic degenerative diseases, cancer or tuberculosis to do so by themselves. Be sure to consult your health care practitioner or your doctor if you have questions about whether detoxing is appropriate for you at the time.  

Also, before you begin your detoxing process, you will need to lighten up your toxin load. It will benefit you if you eliminate drinking alcoholic beverages, coffee, cigarettes, refined sugars and saturated fats because they will slow down your body's healing process. Also, minimize use of chemical-based household cleaners and personal health care products (cleansers, shampoos, deodorants and toothpastes), and substitute natural alternatives.
