Your Body’s Natural Detox Process

People start detox diets because they think it will help fight infections, be healthier, and have more energy. This is true but one thing many people may not sufficiently consider is the healing power your body already has.

To begin with your body has built in defenses to fight disease. Your immune system is strengthened by healthy eating, getting enough rest and relaxation, exercise.

To maximize any benefit of a detox diet it is essential that beyond the detox activities you practice good health daily. Good health it a lifetime activity. Not a pill or magical potion. Too often after a liftime of unhealthy living we turn to radical and extreme solutions. Simply choosing more healthy ways can by itself reverse many health problems.

Eat less of the stuff you know is bad. Eat more of the stuff that is good. Get enough rest and relaxation. Resting and slowing down when you are using a detox recipe will multiply the effect but it is important always. A 58 year ol friend who rides in bicycle “Centurys” (that is a 100 mile bicycle race) said “excercise is 75%” of staying healthy. That is his subjective opinion and many people’s idea of the right percentage will differ, but nobody can be healthy without enough exercise. To me 30 to 60 min a day aerobic is the bare minimum.
