Detoxification With The 3-day Detox Diet

Today is it hard to avoid having toxins and chemicals in our
system because of our lifestyles and the environment. However,
our bodies are quite remarkable and have been built in such a
way as to protect itself from these harmful intruders. Although
our kidneys, liver, skin, and even the lungs often need to work
a little harder to separate, neutralize, and dispose of these
toxins. When toxins accumulate in our body it causes a release
of some form of chemical. This can gradually mutate into cancers
or other degenerative diseases of the body.

We need to be selective as to what we put into our bodies
because we can never take it back. Sometimes changing your
lifestyle is the only way you can improve the proper functioning
of your body processes. A detox program can be very helpful in
getting rid of body impurities. As with any detoxification
program, they are designed to flush out free radicals, increase
cell renewal, and strengthen your body's immune system. Ridding
your body of toxins will make you feel so much better. Even the
3-day detoxification diet can help in eliminating damaging
toxins.

There are many detox diets our there. One must realize that not
all detox diet programs are suitable for everyone. A 3-day detox
diet just might be wise to start with to test the diet program
and it is also a milder way of detoxifying your body. If you are
interested in a longer detox program you may want to consult
your doctor first before you begin. This is especially important
if you are underweight, malnourished or have a chronic disease
such as cancer, kidney and liver disease, ulcerative colitis,
iron-deficiency, anemia, as well as others. This is always a
good idea when considering any type of diet program.

As mentioned above, there are various detox diets, however, the
3-day detox diet is a good quick start program toward
detoxification. Each morning for the three days drink a cup of
warm water and ½ lemon squeezed in it when you get up. This is
to stimulate your gastric juices. Drink the lemon water instead
of your usual cup of coffee or tea. When planning your meals for
the day you should include one cup of whole grains like brown
rice, buckwheat, amaranth, and at least three servings each of
fruits and vegetables. One of the servings of vegetables, at
least, should be raw vegetables such as carrots, celery, or
cauliflower. Choose the vegetables you enjoy. You could also fix
yourself a salad made of fruits and vegetables. However, for
dressing your salad, use vinegar or any of the natural virgin
oils. Natural oils can include olive, coconut virgin oils, or
fish oil.

In addition to the changes in your meals you will also need to
take two doses of a kidney and liver tonic over the 3-day detox
diet period. Not two doses a day. Just two doses over the three
days you're trying to detoxify your body. You can choose from
the following kidney and liver tonics: two cups of dandelion, a
clove of fresh garlic, chamomile or fennel tea. Other choices
include pure vegetable juice like carrot or beetroot, a medium
bunch of black grapes, or two cups of parsley or yellow tea. On
a daily basis you will need to drink 8 glasses or more of water
as well. It's a good idea to make this a habit anyway. Fresh
fruit juices such as apple and orange can be counted as part of
your water intake. And lastly, before you go to bed drink a cup
of herbal tea. The whole idea is to increase your fluid intake
by ingesting more water, juices, fruits, and vegetables to flush
out harmful toxins and waste.

As part of your 3-day detox diet be sure to include a 30-minute
walk within the program period. Exercise with any diet is ideal
for weight loss and improved health. After the third day, you
will feel rejuvenated and have more energy and should have
dropped a few pounds. You may want to do the 3-day detox diet
again either consecutively or the following month. To have
better health for the rest of your life, a change of lifestyle
is always better than a few days of dieting.
