Home Detox: how to cleanse the body without harming the health of

Virtually no person left who has not heard about detox. This buzzword - detox - means nothing as detoxification. In this case - our body.

What is it and what do you eat? How not to get lost in a sea of ​​information and do not hurt yourself promising programs to cleanse the body, which often cost a lot of money? Offer information on who needs it, why and how to detox program at home by yourself.

What's the point

The modern concept of "detox" is based on the medical starvation. When we make a break for food, then several things happen:

• The body has time and opportunity to throw all the forces at his recovery, because he does not need spend enormous energy for processing the food we so diligently to push themselves day in and day. It is unlikely that someone from the modern people in the civilized world knows how to feel real hunger.
• Upon cancellation of the food or its restriction a while emptying the bowel (a process individual depends upon metabolic rate and the presence or absence of digestive system). After all the contents out, and nothing new comes. All the "population" of the intestine, too, begins to starve (under population meant numerous micro-organisms). In this case, the bacteria that inhabit the intestine, unlike us, can not live without food for 30 days. Therefore, they are killed. Not all, of course, but many. If everything is simplified, the good, the needed bacteria feed on fiber, and the bad - the sugar and yeast. If you do not enter nor those of any other substances, then die all. If, however, gentle detox kinds we eat a lot of vegetables, fiber-rich, the good bacteria to survive.

• While limiting caloric intake to burn fat. And fat is known to drive it in the body of toxins. Therefore, a decrease in adipose tissue is reduced and the level of toxins.

It is on these three principles based therapeutic properties of detox courses.

Types of detox programs

1. Fasting on plain water - the most effective but also the most difficult. The maximum period that I met in the professional literature, - 21 days. This kind of detox, not all suffer, and I do not advise to even resort to one day on the water without first consulting your doctor or a nutritionist.
2. Fasting on vegetable broth with the addition of anti seasonings (turmeric, parsley, ginger, lemon). Thus, unlike water fasting, the amount of vegetable broth is strictly regulated by the number of not more than 150 milliliters three times a day. Water and herbal tea can also be drunk in unlimited quantities. I myself took a detox course for four days. A detailed report can be viewed I have a blog. This method, too, I would not advise without prior consultation with a specialist. There are contra-indications, and not all may suffer lack of food.
3. Juice detox. There are varieties: a restriction on the volume without restriction. Also, there are options: only in fruit juices, only vegetable or a mixture of both. I would not recommend detox with only fruit juices: they have too much sugar, which means that such a course Not only it will be difficult to move due to surges in blood sugar, but also it can seriously harm microflora bowel. After all harmful bacteria love sugar! Therefore it is better to choose an option in the vegetable or fruit and vegetable juices.
4. Detox on smoothies. The principle is about the same as that of the juice detox. Only in this case you get more fiber and fruit and vegetables. Smoothies in this case prepared in a blender and diluted with coconut or water to the desired consistency. This is a more gentle version than on the detox juices. The main thing - to choose a smoothie with low acidity. Otherwise, even a healthy stomach will not stand. Ideally, the day should be three different smoothies in three different colors. After all, different color carries a different trace elements. More can be varied smoothies and vegetable soups. For example, the morning drink a serving smoothies for lunch and / or dinner eat soup grated vegetables. Here is also great anti-suit seasoning.
5. Detox on vegetables, heat treated. This is a very gentle kind of purification. In this case, within a few days you eat only cooked vegetables. No cereals, bread, potatoes and corn (because of the high starch content), nuts and legumes. Only that simple to digest and does not load the digestive system. I would recommend in this case, the restriction on the amount of three times a day for 200-300 grams of vegetables. The diverse menu will be better. Plus you can and need to fill the vegetables with oil, cold pressed. Salt allowed in small quantities.
6. Detox "vegan". It provides power for a certain period only plant foods, but without restrictions on volume. Yes, I know that many people are aware of the so-fed life. Yet they are a minority. And most of us eat everything. Although, judging by the photos on social networks, we are all right, always smiling, with lots of money and fans / groupies, the reality is the reality. We want to look better. But let me! If most of us eat right, who buys all these semi-finished products in the supermarket, donut money supplies and tents with grilled chicken? Judging by the prosperity of companies such as Burger King, Starbucks and others like them, the world has something to get sick and fat. Therefore, many of us, even a gentle "vegan" detox will bring huge benefits. Even in just 7-21 days.

It should be noted that the slaughter program, the stronger start cleansing mechanisms. Fasting water and vegetable broth are killed most of the microflora and toxins, as well as the highest amount of fat burned. After such a program must be very well get out of it, and is important to prepare his body to purification using a special diet before (excluded in a certain sequence of coffee, sugar, milk, cereals, meat and fish with chicken).

During detox almost all the different observed adverse reactions (headache, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, poor sleep). But! This is not a rule.

When I took a course of starvation, we were in a group of people who, on the contrary, experienced an unusual burst of energy. They could not even sleep more than 3-4 hours a day!

Someone, on the contrary, it was very bad. Someone was forced to go urgently to the vegetable detox, and somebody simply replaced the vegetable broth with water and protein powder.

Planning to conduct cleansing of the body, be prepared for anything. Including a change of strategy. The main thing - to listen to their feelings.

What kind of detox program, I advise you to try at home

Option 4, 5 and 6 are suitable for everyone. They have no contraindications. The only condition for the purification on a smoothie: be sure to add them plenty of plain water and at least one vegetable to reduce acidity and balance blood sugar.

Who does not recommend experimenting with the cleansing (except versions 5 and 6):

• people taking medications;
• nursing mothers;
• pregnant women;
• minor children;
• too thin people (in this case, there are exceptions to the rule).

During detox, I recommend to minimize the harmful effects on the body and, therefore, limit the use of cosmetics, detergents and cleaning products, perfumes. Also, do not be superfluous to remove at the time of all detox supplements and vitamin complexes. Even those without which you can not live the last 50 years.

At the end of the course you will feel, what you are missing and missing. For example, I was cooking oil, and vitamin C.

Note: detox program - this is not the way to lose weight. All discarded so usually returned with a vengeance after a while after you return to a normal diet. Another question that you can not go back to it and begin to listen to your body. Then come back only part of kilograms.

On the other hand, if you, for example, lost 15 kilos and they then come back for a month or two, it means only one thing: you eat a lot. And, apparently, the wrong foods. After all, the right food in such quantities it is very difficult to eat.

How to get out of detox

This can write a separate article. But in short, it will be like this: give preference to products that are rich in fiber (vegetables, especially rough), to feed the intestinal microflora. Plus, this week at least hang on without cereals, bread, yeast, sugar (in all forms) and alcohol. Otherwise, the good of a detox program is not enough. The program's purpose is to change after cleansing the intestinal microflora for the better.

If you still have chosen one of the first three programs, it is necessary to introduce the food gradually and in small portions. Not recommended gang up on raw vegetables, nuts, meat, legumes, as they are difficult to digest. Enter all this gradually. If you have gone through detox program for vegetable broth, then in the early days it is best to make the basis of the diet are vegetables from which you made the broth.

In other cases one advice: do not throw everything at once. Especially in the type of hazard cakes, burgers and beer chips. Otherwise, what was the point of your detox?

What is the optimal duration of detox

At least one day. And no more than 21. Optimally - 3-7 days. The duration depends on your state of health. If you feel good and full of energy - can continue. If the headache and other unpleasant feelings persist for more than 3-5 days, then I would advise break off and try again after a certain period of time or move to a more lenient option.

Good health to you!
