body detoxing

Your body detoxes by itself without any help from quackery or expensive "natural" or "alternative" treatments.
 
You wanna detox???? Maybe I can help you out there... Those diet pills and detox drinks are for the birds... It is really very simple. The body is a food processing plant... it is "designed" for natural foods and not all this chemical laced processed junk so called "food companies" have been marketing to us for years...

All you have to do is eat ONLY natural foods... e.g. nothing processed.

Lots of fresh fruits and vegetables (nothing from a can), fresh fish (sole, halibut, haddock, talapia, salmon, tuna etc...), deli meats are ok (but not processed; e.g. ham, roast beef, turkey, chicken all excellent, but steer clear of sausages, bologna or salami), fresh dairy products, cheese, yohgurt etc, eggs, milk, natural juices, whole wheats, steak is good, chicken and Turkey is also great, but stay away from pasta, white rices and ANYTHING processed. (e.g. anything microwaveable, from a can, or any of those "ready to eat", "just add water and boil" type meals... generally shop on the outside aisles at the grocery store.)

Processed = chemicals/ sugar and salt.

For snacks grab an apple, an orange a banana or some carrot sticks or celery. And for heaven's sake- STAY AWAY from most restaurant foods ESPECIALLY fast foods of ANY kind.

Oh and one last thing... drink LOTS OF WATER!

Also, it is very important to exercise at least 30 minutes a day, longer is better, but if time is an issue, try and do at least 30 minutes a day. It can be something as simple as a brisk walk. Me, I prefer cycling! LOL! :D

That's just my nickels worth anyway.
 
apart from all the crap on the market,


just drink more water and eat a high fruit/veg/fibre diet and your good to go. Add some exercise into your daily life instead (15-20mins) and life gets only better.

I love how people come in asking for scripts for magic diet pills and detox solutions that are costing $$$ when a glass of water and walking/running is virtually free. Nothing substantial will come instantly.
 
Its no coincidence that the doctors and the medical profession don't want to recognize cleansing programs as a value added piece to our health. Its amazing how many knock products without trying them. There are plenty of ways to cleanse. A Vitamin C flush is one way. In previous threads, i mentioned I lost around 3-4 pounds doing cleansing. I use products from the brand www.renewlife.ca
But start with a program like First Cleanse, others will be too intense. And use a quality fiber product at the same time. This is a safe herbal cleanse.
 
those are great,

but for having a diet high in basic foods and abundant in water will do you good. Water will flush out kidneys, keep your skin clean, maintain the osmotic levels you need for many hormonal reactions and so much else...I can prescribe pills to make people happy only for them to come back and complain that shoppers is charing 11.99 to fill it (which isnt my problem) or, understand that dosing on things like Vit C or taking those other products is not good in the long run.

Just to talk about something else, the Vit C detox cannot be advise for everyone, if you are prone to renal stones or any other kidnet problems - have fun increasing your Vit C intake when the pain gets to be too much...nothing on the market is a cure all, fix all, magic eraser or whatever.

To an extent some of the products out there work, but nothing will beat a change in lifestyle and habits.
 
i agree uzo. cleansing and detoxing are individual body specific.

my doctor recommended isagenix as it's been known to slowly deteriorate kidney stone buildup, which I am prone to.

I used to do a high vitamin, optimum nutrition detox and it gave me kidney problems and left me feeling hungry all of the time.

So far, Isagenix works well. I don't use it to lose weight... just to cleanse 1x per month.
