Detox Preparation - Getting The Most Out Of Detoxing

Now is the time of year to start thinking about detoxing. All the rich creamy and fatty foods eaten during the festive season have left many of us feeling bloated and overweight.  To get your body prepared for the January weight loss we normally go through, it is best to start with a gentle detox first.

Benefits of Detoxing:
1. Cleanses the colon of fatty foods that have stuck to the insides
2. Gets rid of toxins within the body
3. Improves digestion within the gut
4. Energises the body leaving you feeling refreshed
5.Increases blood flow and absorbtion of nutrients into the body
6. Helps to keep you 'regular'.

There are many more benefits too numerous to mention, but above are some really beneficial ones.

So, what does detoxing involve:
Well, first of all the point of detoxing is to get rid of toxins inthe body, therefore in order to aid the expulsion of these toxins, we need to eat foods that do not take long to digest, and foods that the body can digest quicker and easier.  Therefore no process foods, red meats, cakes, biscuits or pastas,rice or takeaways, rich creamy sauces etc.

Cave Man Dieting Method - what to eat!
We are going to take it back to 'cave man diet'.  What is this you may ask, well its about eating fresh fruit, raw vegetables or lightly steamed vegetables, nuts and grains.  Back in the days of the cave man, it was a simple diet, and meat was rarely eaten, if they did, they had to hunt for possibly days to find the meat and this would have involved a chase so plenty of exercise!

By cleansing the body of complex processed foods can help to get your digestive system running at its optimum best. Think of your body as a Ferrari, it needs the highest grade fuel in order for it to run at its optimum best, if you but diesel oil into a Ferrari, it will run sluggishly and slow and possibly blow up the engine!  So, having fresh fruit, vegetables, grains and nuts are the high grade fuel our body needs to run at its optimised best.  However, the way in which are foods are grown today do not give us as much vitamins and nutrients as they did say 20 or 30 years ago.  Food is grown amongst pesticides, chemicals and pollution,along with the fact that they are then 'processed' in some what to preserve their longevity in the stores from the place where they are harvested.  That is why it is important that we also supplement our diet with vitamins.

I will go into supplementation in another blog post, but for now the main vitamins we will need for our detox is as follows:
Aloe Vera Drink- this is good for cleansing and aiding digestion inthe gut
Flora Fibre - this contains good bacteria that the gut needs, because when we detox good and bad bacteria can be depleted from the body.
Fibre & Herbs - Fibre & Herb is high in soluble fibre which helps to optimise your digestive health by supporting the body’s natural elimination of waste and toxins.
