Forget fasting and colonic irrigation. A detox should be a pleasurable experience, and this is the perfect time of year to 'spring clean' your system. Your detox should include a gentle health routine, involving eating or drinking only organic products. Things to include in your diet: fresh/dried fruit, raw or lightly steamed veggies, freshly prepared fruit/veg juice, thin home-made soups, cooked pulses, oatmeal, brown rice, cottage cheese, bio-live yoghurt, fish, chicken. You can eat as much, or as little, of these foods as your want, along with around 3 litres of pure water daily. Things to cut out of your diet: caffeine, table salt (sodium chloride), artificial sweeteners, white sugar, food additives, alcohol, drugs. If you have previously had a high caffeine intake (more than 4 a day), then it is a good idea to gradually cut down before embarking on your detox, to avoid withdrawal symptoms such as headaches, jitters and irritablity. How long for? Most people find that 10 days is a good time length before reintroducing other foods. Obviously, you will maintain continued benefit from keeping to a diet that is organic and free from toxins/additives, and this detox can be a healthy start to a long term beneficial nutrition lifestyle. Who should NOT detox? Do not follow a detox programme if you are: pregnant, breastfeeding, unwell or convalescing, receiving treatment for any medical condition without your doctor's agreement. Should I take supplements? During a classic detox it is a good idea to cleanse first, and fortify second, so only anti-oxidants and probiotics supplements are taken for the first 5-day cleansing programme. Then you can add in the nutritional supplements. Cleansing Supplements Higher Nature Super Antioxidant (Vitamins A, C, E, B2, Selenium, Zinc, Manganese, Cysteine, Glutathione, Chicory Root and Bilberry); Grapeseed extract; Higher Nature Milk Thistle & Artichoke (to cleanse the liver); Higher Nature Super Strength Cranberry (to cleanse the urinary system); Higher Nature Probiogest, FOS or Acidobifidus (for those who cannot stomach FOS), Supergest. You should continue these supplements throughout the detox process. Fortifying Supplements Start taking these 5 - 7 days into your programme. Higher Nature True Man or Wise Woman Multi; Higher Nature Essental Omegas; and an Adaptogen like Korean Ginseng to help your body adapt to the detox process. All Higher Nature supplements can be purchased online by clicking on the Higher Nature button on my home page.
