A Body Detox Diet: A Healthier, More Vibrant You in 5 Steps

By: Cindy Soto Going through a body detox or even changing to a detox diet lifestyle was much more rare in the past. Now, people are learning for themselves what they can do to heal their bodies after their doctor tells them there is no cure.

Having learned about the self-healing power of the body, getting out of the way and allowing it to cleanse becomes a priority.

In doing a body detox diet, would a longer one be better?

You want to consider planning for at least 3 weeks. This will give your body time to complete the all-important first cleansing cycle. It will also help you to form a new habit that will help continue to help you in months to come.

5 simple steps to a healthier you:

1 -- Drink half your weight in water every day. Did you know that most people are dehydrated? Sodas and other drinks containing sugar or caffeine won't do it, you need filtered water.

2 -- Consume alkaline foods rather than acidic ones. Organic green vegetables are alkaline and they will nourish you during your body detox diet as well. Processed foods, on the other hand, add acid to your body.

3 -- Maximize raw organic food. Multiple studies have shown the number of white blood cells rise when cooked food is eaten. This is the same reaction the body has to disease. Help yourself through the cleanse with a body detox diet of raw and organic vegetables.

4 -- You can deepen your cleanse with juice fasting, though it's better if you're in it for the long haul. It's much easier on your body to do the juice fasting once a week than for extended periods. And no sugary juices; use cucumber, celery, and sprouts in the juice.

5 -- Moving beyond a detox diet, well, you need to move. Resistance training with weights is one of the best ways to move your muscles, build strength and eliminate the toxins. But even getting out and walking is great. Get hot and sweaty and help your body eliminate the toxins.

Have you heard that toxins can be stored in the body for many years? It is time to get them out. So how does the body do this?

The body eliminates through all the exits it can find, including the all the skin and the nose. When we define a runny nose as being "sick", we try hard to stop it and in fact hamper the body from completing the process

Make it easy for yourself through the body detox diet. The more you help by moving and sweating, and drinking lots of water, the more comfortable you will feel throughout the process. And the quicker you will start to feel wonderful.
