Making Your Life Better Choosing a Good Detox Diet

By Chris Marex

Tips for choosing a good detox diet can benefit a person who's finally made the choice to attempt to clean his or her body of accumulated potentially-harmful toxins and impurities. The name given to the procedure which has as its aim the excision of all these toxins, chemicals, heavy metals and other substances from the body is "detox," or more formally; detoxification.

Unfortunately, people can sometimes become confused when it comes to a detox diet. This is mainly in the area of thinking a single detox will permanently repair all of the damage done over a lifetime. They're only partially correct, however, because no single treatment can return a person to a feeling of once-lost vigor. A partial restoration is possible, of course, but it'll take a while and maybe a consistent and regular schedule of detox before full cleansing will take place. Still, a little bit is better than nothing at all.

But really, an occasional detox diet is only a semi-serious recovery program. Rather, in order to gain ultimate benefit from the process, it needs to be regular, structured, intelligent and comprehensive. It also should be combined with food and other lifestyle changes, though long term changes in these areas can be a bit more difficult to sustain. However, when done in such a manner, the potential benefits tend to be much greater in the long run.

So, what sorts of components (foods, juices, combinations of both) should go into an effective detox diet? Generally the best of them have two phases which help to bring about complete if temporary - when permanent substitution of good foods isn't done - changes in the body's make-up, or the manner in which it regulates itself.

The first phase is sometimes called a "flush." It can be a way for hitting the body hard, in terms of introducing a blend of natural juice combinations which have other foods - like Cayenne pepper and maple syrup, for example -- in them into the body. All of these juices are drunk down, though there are other ways of introducing flushing agents into the body, depending upon what area or system of the body is being addressed (colonics, for instance).

Detox diets have the benefit of being able to be designed to address specific systems and processes in the body. One popular detox diet revolves around cleansing the blood through the drinking of those juices. Logically enough, the process is known as "blood cleansing." The aim is to help the body force toxins from the bloodstream, which has accumulated as the result of meals eaten in the past.

Blood cleansing by itself, though, isn't considered to be a full detoxification. It also doesn't really do much to help the body expel trace elements and heavy metals like mercury, for instance, from the tissues and organs of the body. What's called for in this circumstance is phase two of a detox, and it's what's known as a "chelating" treatment. This process aims to remove those substances from tissue and vital organs, where they've built up over the years. People should know, though, that they'll probably feel a little bad for a bit after the chelating treatment. The reason is all those substances will first have to be flushed through the kidneys and liver before they're excreted permanently from the body.

Effective detoxification aims to help a person deal with all of the problems created by poor diet and the introduction of others substances into the body which have occurred over a lifetime. To obtain the most effective results, it's always a smart thing to change diet permanently, and well as certain other lifestyle choices, like putting down cigarettes for good. - 17274
