Other cleansing diet that can help me detox and lose weight at the same time?

April 4th, 2011 : Category: Cleansing Detox

except for the MASTER CLEANSE diet.. are there any other cleansing diet? like just eating fruits?

There is no build up of bad plaque, toxins, or sludge in a normal, reasonably healthy system.
If this was the case we would have people dying left and right from malnutrition since their small intestines couldn’t absorb nutrients.
The majority of the water from food and what we drink is reabsorbed through the colon, if our colons were clogged we would all be walking around looking like sponges right?
Detoxing is ridding the system – liver, kidneys, and intestines of toxins both internal and environmental. Additionally, many toxins are stored in our fat cells so in order to truly "detox", you need to lose excess body fat as well to fully detox.
Our liver and kidneys aren’t clogged with toxins. Otherwise we would be dead.
The liver does in fact get layered with fat when we become overweight.
We "cleanse and detox" naturally 24 hours a day through respiration, sweat, liver, and kidneys.
We can help by eating a healthy diet with minimal added sugar and salt. Lots of fresh fruit, vegetables, whole grain foods, beans, peas, and brown rice keep a system as healthy as it can be.
Minimal alcohol, caffeine, soda.
Read food labels. If you can’t pronounce it, don’t put it in your body.
A healthy high fiber diet works every time.
Increases the speed and efficiency of the digestive system and helps the body rid itself of both internal and environmental toxins.
Cleanses actually flush out the beneficial bacteria and enzymes in the digestive system.
Search gut flora to learn about the beneficial bacteria we need in our colon.
We have more beneficial bacteria in our digestive systems than all the cells in our bodies!
Did you know the digestive system is one of the largest contributors to our immune system?
They don’t tell you about the gas, cramping, and bloating you will experience when you start eating again and the body has to rebuild this bacteria population.
Spend your money in the produce department.
Good luck.

Benefits of acai berry supplements?

April 4th, 2011 : Category: Benefits of Acai Berry

I went to Whole Foods today and decided to try out Acai berry supplements (vegetarian vcaps). I would like to know exactly what this is good for other than having up to 30 times more antioxidant activity than red wine. I also purchased a colon cleanse that I am planning on using this week while I am off from work and school.

Thanks in advance.

What are normal side-effects of detox/cleansing?

April 2nd, 2011 : Category: Cleansing Detox

My body feels warmer than usual (especially my feet). Almost having flu-like symptoms-headache, nausea, fatigue and sweating. My body may not be used to being toxin-free. Been using SP Cleanse and Livaplex (with other vitamins) Thoughts?

What you can do is go to a health food store that sells hydrated bentonite (it’s cheap). Stir a tablespoon of this into a glass of water along a with a heaping teaspoon of sugar-free metamucil and a tablespoon of olive oil (or some kind of edible oil product). Let it gel for about 2 minutes. Down a glass of this 1 hour BEFORE you take your cleanse products and meal.

This mixture will act like a sponge and will keep your body from pumping the toxins back into your bloodstream through the lower intestine, thereby eliminating most of your symptoms (you’re basically re-poisoning yourself right now; they don’t tell that when you buy those cleansing products).

Make sure you drink plenty of water when detoxing.

How early before event should I do 7 day full-body cleanse?

April 2nd, 2011 : Category: Body Cleanse

I have a special event coming up in late July that I need to look great for. Should I do a full body cleanse this coming week and workout really hard for a month or should I do it vise versa by working out really hard for a month and then cleansing the week before my event?! Thanks.

Cleansing is a waste of time and an unhealthy thing to do according the health experts.

Detox dieting is a myth. There is no diet which will cause your body to get rid of toxins, heavy metals, poisonous by-products from smoking, drugs, etc. And cleanses for the purpose of weight loss don’t work because they can only eliminate water and small amounts of waste which the body will be replaced very quickly.

Check out the following references because you’ve probably been getting your information from unreliable sources.

"’Cleansing’ diets may be worthless"

http://www.webmd.com/diet/features/detox-diets-purging-myths

"A day on a detox diet program probably won’t hurt you, but there’s little point in following these restrictive diets – and they can do far more harm than good, says Michelle May, MD,"

http://www.medicinenet.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=64306

"Detox diets are a waste of time and money, say scientists"

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/article784402.ece

"The human body can defend itself very
well against most environmental insults and the effects of
occasional indulgence. If you’re generally healthy, stick to
giving your body what it needs to maintain its own detox
system— a healthful diet, adequate fluid intake, regular
exercise, sufficient sleep, and all recommended medical
check-ups. Don’t waste your money…follow a healthy,
balanced lifestyle instead."
Ref: http://www.lee-county.com/gov/dept/HumanResources/Wellness_Newsletters/Aug%2008.pdf

You can find your own links debunking the detox diets, master cleanses, and other such nonsense by Googling "detox diet myth" or searching USA.gov for your appropriate key words.

The way to detox is to stop ingesting toxins and let your body cleanse itself naturally. If you have, for example, THC in your blood from smoking pot, there is no food, no flush, no purge, no cleanse that will make it go away. Your body will catabolize or excrete it naturally given sufficient time. The best diet for all normal adults hasn’t changed. It is still a varied, balanced, nutritious, and properly apportioned diet of high quality foods.

Good luck and good health!!

March 30th, 2011 : Category: Natural Health

I have had a bad experience with vitamins and prescription drugs for just minor ailments and every day health.I have been introduced to several herbal products and they are o.k. but i would like a product developed in its more natural form,without additives or gluten,it must be fda approved and have no side effects does this product exist

If you are really serious about a great product go to their site you will have to look no further. I hope this really helps you,have a great day.
