5 Day Body Detox Plan

In the present state of the world's environment, you can no longer pass a single day without encountering pollution of some kind.

At work, you may not be sure of the cleanliness of the water you drink, the air you breathe, or of the food you eat.

When dealing with people, you can hardly get away from air pollution, be it from smokers, all sorts of sprays or from the exhaust of vehicles. This greatly affects the health in one way or another. Don’t be so sure that when your body does not visibly react that it is NOT really a problem.

A growing number of health facilities have decided not to hire anyone who smoked, whether they smoked at work or not, because even the residue on their skin and clothing could adversely affect people with weakened respiratory systems.

Even so, pollution is still around us, and, as a result, body detoxification may occasionally be necessary in order to maintain health. A healthy body contributes to a healthy mind, a longer life in a healthier body, and a healthy relationship with people.

Normally, a health body has its own means of healing and detoxifying itself.

However, when it happens, and it does happen, that pollutants which have entered our body accumulate to a level which is more than the capacity of our self cleansing mechanism, the health of our bodies and our minds are at stake. All tissues, organs, glands and processes are stressed and, as we know, stress leads to malfunction.

If all of these become weakened and compromised, the natural cleansing process is also affected further.

For good health and a long life, we definitely want a clean body...inside and out.

But, we cannot depend simply for our body's own cleansing system to take its course. We really need to assist our body's systems in regulating all body processes...especially as we age.

However, It is not a good idea just to wait for your body organs to become stressed and overworked before doing something. You should be proactive, but in instances when the body lacks the power to keep systems working at peak levels, you must be prepared to supplement and support.

The 5-day detox plan outlined here will go a long way to helping the body systems perform their tasks.

The 5-day detox plan will rejuvenate the body as well as the spirit, keeping you clean and toned...mentally, physically, and even emotionally.

An effective detoxification diet is an integreal part of the 5-day detox plan. During the actual period of detoxification, certain foods should be avoided.

Your meals will consist mostly of fresh fruits and green, leafy vegetables...good choices even if you are NOT doing a body detox.

Fats, oil, preservatives and food additives are a big no-no when pursuing detoxification. Also, meat should be limited because it can be hard to digest.

In fact, it is a good idea just to drop meat from your diet for a day or two during the detox.

Ideal foods to include in your detox diet are as follow: garlic, broccoli, beets, and beans or nuts. Only fresh fruit extracts can be taken as beverages except for grapefruit.

Since water is a universal solvent and is so beneficial for removing toxins from the body, six to eight glasses of water should be consumed daily. While many foods and juices obviously contain water, for health, it is best to actually drink the water.

Although you seem to eat less when detoxifying, you are assured that you will not starve, and ironically, you will even boost your stamina. It is because your intake is limited only to foods which are healthy and are good to the digestive system.

This detoxification program should be done at least once every three or four months.

To ensure that your detox is an efficient one, it is best to consult with a nutritionist or other health professional. You should also seek your doctor’s advice to ensure that what you do is actually going to be a body detoxification and not increase toxins in your body.

Through this process of detoxification, toxins are flushed from your body and a new level of energy is achieved, providing you both physical health and mental alertness.

We all know that for health, cleanliness on the outside is important, but, it can be even more important to maintain the cleanliness of the inside.
