Fast Detox

A Fast Detox or a Body Cleansing Detoxification is not a modern idea. Way back, John Harvey Kellogg (1852-1943) of the famous Kellog family, set up his own clinic for body detoxification. He followed his own recommendations and you can see he lived to a really old age, especially for that time. He had many famous visitors to his clinic, including Sarah Bernhardt, Bernard Shaw and Henry Ford, to name a few.

It’s true; anyone really can benefit from a Fast Detox, however fit or unfit you are! Do you know that saying, “My body is a Temple?” Well, I am not sure if that is how we all feel about our bodies, but we do owe them a little tender loving care once in a while.

I’m sure many of you go to the hairdresser, have a manicure, pedicure, massages, facials and even take exercise classes. That’s the outside of your body taken care of, but what about the inside of your body?

Think of your body as a machine: the outside can look nice and shiny, while the inside can need care and maintenance and the filters cleaned, to allow it to work efficiently, and for you to feel well.

Do you look wonderful outside, but feel sluggish inside, and want to change that feeling? Set yourself aside a free weekend or a couple of days that fit in with your busy schedule for a Fast Detox. Look at it as a body cleansing detoxification treat for your digestive system. There are other detox plans such as a Colon Cleanse or a Liver Cleanse, but I think a Fast Detox is a good one to begin with, to see how you feel after you have completed it.

A couple of days will not be too disruptive to your lifestyle and you will not have a craving for all the foods, etc. you cannot have, because the detox is over before you know it!

What not to do in your Fast Detox

• No caffeine products
• No sugar
• No fast foods
• No dairy products
• No meat
• No alcohol
• No smoking

I can hear you saying, “what’s left?” Well, I can assure you, plenty!

Brown Rice And Vegetables

What you can have in your Fast Detox

• Drink lots of water
• You can also drink fresh fruit and vegetable juices
• Herbal Teas are very good for your body detoxification
• Lots of raw foods: carrots, celery, lettuce, apples, cranberries and any other fruits you like.
• Brown rice, as it is not only good for your digestion, it is also a stress reducer because it contains lots of vitamin B.

This may not sound like a lot but you are only doing this for a couple of days, and your stomach will get smaller and demand less. Along with this regime, it really helps if you can do a little gentle exercise. Yoga , swimming, or even brisk walking will help your Body Detox, especially walking because it can create a little sweat, which is another way for your body to rid itself of toxins.

Also, if you enjoy them, take yourself a Sauna or Steam Bath. These are both great ways to help expel toxins from your body through sweat. But please, do not stay in longer than 15 minutes, and always follow them with a shower using a body scrub. You will probably find that you will want to go to the toilet more frequently while you are doing your body cleansing detoxification.

This just means that your body is working efficiently to rid itself of unwanted toxins through your colon. Try and get lots of relaxation and sleep as there is no point eating and drinking all the correct t foods and then staying up too late and getting exhausted. Really indulge yourself with soothing music, reading a great book, or watching a fun film.

When you have finished your Fast Detox, you should find you have lost a little weight (a great bonus), have more energy, and your skin is glowing. If you have enjoyed your Fast Detox weekend, then try and repeat it 3-4 times a year. It is especially good for your body if you have had an excessive period of partying such as Christmas and New Year!
