What You Must Know and Understand About The Detox Diet

By Wilson Resturbee


Much has been written about the detox diet (detoxification) over the decades. It seems the past ten years, roughly, have seen an explosion of these diets. The basic principle is the same across all of them, and that is to use foods (or liquids) to help your body get rid of toxins. First, we must caution you and suggest you talk to your doctor before embarking on any kind of detox diet. Many people turn to this overall approach when they want to lose weight. While it is possible to achieve that, we feel the loss will be temporary for a variety of reasons. We will talk more about the detox diet in the rest of this article.

Traditional Western medicine typically doesn't recognize adrenal weakness while holistic doctors do. Low blood pressure and chronic exhaustion are some of the symptoms of this condition. Alternative medicine attributes this condition to chronically high levels of stress. We mention this only because after treatment for adrenal weakness, holistic doctors typically place the person on a detox diet. This allows the body to eliminate toxins which helps set the stage for higher energy levels and improved health.

It is important to obtain a good amount of information on the specific detox diet you are thinking about. The reason for this is some are more difficult and severe than others. Some detox diets are fairly gentle and will not cause excessive stress on your body. Many detox diets give a suggestion of three days to a week in duration. Your shape should be respectable if you want to endeavor this diet for an extended period of time. A fast in which only water, or juice, is consumed has long been known for its ability to flush toxins from the body. Yet countless members of the public attempt this in a place that is carefully monitored by experienced staff.

There are far too many detox diets to discuss, here, and many of them have origins from around the world. One example are various approaches that draw on the Ayurvedic tradition from India. Pancha Karma - an Ayurvedic cleansing approach that is very popular - has three Phases - Preparation, Cleansing, and Rejuvenation. There are five steps involved with the primary function acting as a purifying therapy. The body, as well as the mind, is treated with Pancha Karma. This is done with specific foods and Ayurvedic herbs and teas, as well as fasting. These processes enhance the metabolic process and aid in the elimination of built-up waste products, poisons, and toxins.

Detox diets have actually been used for thousands of years in various forms and cultures. This is a different route medically and it does stir up arguments within organized Western medicine without a doubt. Be positive that should you decide to search in this area that you do it safely and slowly.
