How to Detox

In the book ‘The Tao of Detox’ by Daniel Reid, he writes that fasting is not new. Hindu Yogis and Buddhist Monks have been fasting for thousands of years to enhance their vitality and extend their lifespan. There are many detox diets available and it’s important to realize that not all detox diet programs are suitable for everyone.

Fasting is the fastest and most effective way to deal with toxicity. Until these toxins are eliminated there’s no way the body can repair and rebalance itself. The ideal duration for a therapeutic fast is 7 – 10 days because it takes 7 days to completely purify the blood stream and cleanse the lymphatic system of all residual wastes.

For those who have never tried a 7 day fast, a 3-day mini fast is a good way to begin your detox, it is also a milder way of detoxifying your body.

How Does Detoxification Work?

Basically, detoxification means cleaning the body. Detox works mainly by removing impurities from the blood in the liver, where toxins are processed for elimination. The body also eliminates toxins through the kidneys, intestines, lungs, lymph and skin. However, when this system is compromised, impurities aren’t properly filtered and every cell in the body is adversely affected.

Your personalized Detox Program will work by:

1)  Resting the organs
2)  Stimulating the liver to drive toxins from the body
3)  Promoting elimination through the intestines, kidneys and skin
4)  Improving circulation of the blood and lymph
5)  Refueling the body with healthy nutrients
