6-Step Detox Plan

By Ben Coles

While many detoxification programs exist that can help you cleanse your body, many people don't have the time or the means to undertake them. However, here we present an easy detox plan that consists of small changes to your diet and lifestyle that will cleanse your body of toxins and make you feel better.

- Only consume natural foods like fruits, vegetables, fish, nuts, and whole grains. Eat organically as you can, so that no pesticides, hormones, or herbicides enter your body.

- Drink plenty of water; ideally equal to half of your body weight in ounces at least once per week.

- Stay away from alcoholic beverages, refined sugar and caffeine products like coffee and chocolate. Sweeteners like agave nectar, stevia and honey are acceptable, but not artificial sweeteners like Splenda, Equal or NutraSweet, since these contain toxins.

- Take a fiber supplement, such as psyllium or flax (which can both be found in the health food aisle of most grocery stores) in the evening before going to sleep. Each capsule should contain about five to eight grams of fiber and should not have any food colorings or sugar added.

-You need to exercise to see the best results of a detox. When you exercise, your body releases chemicals and toxins through your sweating. Exercise also helps your circulatory system by getting more oxygen into your blood. You should aim for at least 30 minutes of continuous exercise between 3 and 5 times a week.

- Take hot salt baths or saunas to discharge toxins through sweating. Keep in mind that you should drink a lot of extra water so as to avoid the effects of dehydration.

This easy to follow detoxification process is achievable by anybody who is determined to make themselves healthier. On completion it will leave you feeling more energetic and vibrant. Use it 2 or 3 times a year to give yourself a boost after any prolonged feeling of not being at your best. Really, you have no excuse not to. By delaying or making excuses, you're only putting your long term health in danger. So, why not begin now? - 17269
