Using Detox Diets

March 28th, 2008

Detox diets are a very popular way that people use in order to get rid of the harmful toxins that we ingest every day. These diets encourage you to eat natural foods and also encourage you to ingest lots of water and veggies which is all stuff you know is good for you. You hear about celebrities going on detox diets all of the time, and people who go into drug or alcohol rehabs are said to be detoxing as well, so you may wonder if it would be safe and ok for you to do as well.

Herbal Body Wraps

March 28th, 2008

The Herbal body wrap produces both therapeutic and cosmetic benefits by cleansing the body of toxins and reducing inches off of your body. Body wraps are great for anyone who wants to improve their body’s tone and tighten the look and texture of their skin, including people with loose skin from weight loss or pregnancy. Also those people that suffer through joint pain and inflammation will benefit from the therapeutic effects of body wraps.

Epsom salts baths

March 29th, 2008

Another simple way to draw many of the daily harmful toxins out of the body is to take a hot epsom salt bath. Hot water draws toxins out of the body and brings it to the skin’s surface, and while the water cools it pulls toxins from the skin. When magnesium sulfate (epsom salt) is absorbed through the skin in a bath, it helps to draw toxins from the body, keep down any swelling you have and relax muscles.

Epsom salts get their name from the mineral rich waters of Epsom, England. For some reason I felt like I had to tell you that. Below os the actual Epsom salt bath recipe.

Herbal Detox Pills

March 29th, 2008

Whole foods also contain other substances that are important for good health and a healthy detox program. Fresh fruits and vegetables, for example, contain naturally occurring food substances called phytochemicals, which might just help protect you against cancer, heart disease, diabetes and high blood pressure that you ingest into your system everyday as mentioned in the first section.

Many of them are also good sources of the antioxidants that you need which slow down your body’s oxidation, which is a natural process that can leads to cell and tissue damage. If you depend on supplements rather than eating actual foods, you miss the potential benefits of these substances. That is why you must exercise caution when choosing pills as a your detox formula.

Choosing and Using Herbal Supplements

March 30th, 2008

Supplements can be a great addition to your regular diet, but they aren’t meant to be taken as food substitutes. They can’t replace the hundreds of nutrients found in whole foods. But if you do decide to take a vitamin or mineral supplement, you really need to consider these factors first when starting a detox program with supplements and pills:

· Check the labels before you buy them because you need to read all of the labels carefully before taking any pills. Product labels can tell you what the active ingredient or ingredients are, which nutrients are included in the supplement, the amount that should be taken, and the amount of nutrients that each serving offers. The label also gives you the right directions for safe use and tips for storage. Follow them all.

“Detoxification” with Pills and Fasting

March 30th, 2008

Frances M. Berg, M.S.

I have decided to include an article that was written by Frances M. Berg so that you can best decide how to better understand what I have been saying about the process. That article is below.

It’s an irrational concept, yet an intriguing idea, that modern life so fills us with poisons from polluted air and food additives that we need to be periodically “cleaned out” (”detoxified”). Never mind that natural chemicals in our foods are thousands of times more potent than additives, or that most Americans are healthier, live longer, and can choose from the most healthful food supply ever available.

Benefits and Dangers of Using Vitamin Supplements when detox has been used

March 31st, 2008

Generally when you partake in a herbal cleansing and vitamin plan for detoxing the body, there are some risks involved. Although vitamins are safe to use in supplement form, you can harm yourself in using them. This section is here to help you understand that herbal and vitamin…doesn’t necessarily mean safe!
