Dois-je me désintoxiquer ?

This guide isn’t about a médicaments or alcohol detox; it’s all about detoxifying our bodies from all of the harmful toxins we’ve absorbed through time, through poor les habitudes alimentaires and living in a polluted atmosphere. We are living in an environment filled with chemicals which are found in food, water and the air we breathe, with the consequence that our bodies suffer from chronic diseases, allergies and poor health.

Processed foods, have been stripped of their nutrients, contain refined sugars, compounds and artificial food additives not initially intended for human consumption, which add to the already heavy burden on our systems which are attempting to maintain a healthy balance. We can help the body to detoxify itself naturally, by eating nutritious meals, and drinking plenty of clean water. When we avoid toxic food, our liver and kidneys can remove harmful toxins, and restore a natural balance and health to the body so that we can work better, and live a healthier life.

If you answered “YES” to any of the above, then continue reading! Our bodies are attempting to detox all day long, but we do not help by adding to the load daily. It’s hard work for the body to get rid of harmful toxins. When we stop overburdening our body with poisonous foodwe allow our system to detox naturally. Reclaim your health with a 30-day detox.

Souvenez-vous de

This isn’t a régime alimentaire – you will find no weighing of parts or calorie counting – it’s a health programme, a lifestyle. It’s not an intense weight loss program, nor is it a low-carb and régime alimentaire fad diet. In 30 days you’ll have the ability to change your mindset and change your eating habits; to train your body to want to eat”clean” food – vegetables, fruit, legumes, fish, and nuts, and not to want sugar, meat, milk, wheat, coffee or processed foods. In these 30 days you’ll also learn how to distinguish between when you’re really hungry, when you THINK you’re hungry, or if you need to eat for emotional reasons, and introduce yourself to smaller portions and no second helpings.

Before beginning your detox, you want to prepare yourself both mentally and physically. The mental preparation is perhaps the hardest. You must take that choice, and make the commitment to give it you best for 30 days. Just 30 days. Set a starting date. Tell you spouse, best friend, someone who will encourage you and hopefully join you, and discuss the journey towards better health.

The first 3 days are the toughest, so plan to start when you know you can have complete control of what you eat – preferably not when you’re going to parties or eating outside. Clear out “poisonous” foods from the refrigerator and kitchen cabinets – e.g. wheat products (bread, pasta, cookies), sugar, meat, poultry, milk products, processed foods. Essential shopping – meals you will need to have in the home before beginning. A serving of goat cheese is a valuable source of protein and contains fewer dangerous substances while providing similar if not more vitamin and mineral content. E, contains vitamines A and K, fer, magnesium, calcium, potassium, amino acids. Source of medium-chain fatty acids. Dry brush body scrub.

Prendre en compte

Take your body brush, and brush your legs, arms, tummy and back with firm, even strokes towards your heart – not away from the heart, as you may faint. Take a hot shower, and then stand for a few moments under the cold water. This helps remove toxins from the skin, and stimulates an overall feeling of well-being. Moisturise your skin. Use up all those half-finished bottles which are lying around in your toilet. Eat three meals per day at regular intervals. Always eat breakfast within 90 minutes of getting up. Your have been fasting all night, and your body needs to replenish its energy.

It’s better to eat your evening meal as soon as possible, to enable the digestion process to work before going to bed. For a wholesome snack in case you actually need it – a bit of celery, half an apple, a carrot. Don’t just eat thoughtlessly, automatically, since it is there – be consciously aware of what you put into your mouth. Drink a lot of water – at least 1.5 litres every day. To keep down portion sizes, try drinking a glass of water 15 minutes before your meal. It’ll fill you up, and you’ll eat less.

Include at least one of these “super-foods” daily – beet, broccoli, cabbage, carrots, garlic, grapes, miel, onions, spinach, tomatoes – have one part of whole grain rice, three portions each of veggies, raw fruit, and salad, at least one part of olive oil, and non-dairy cheese or yogurt, and 2 portions of some of the following – fish, nuts, legumes. This way you’re covered – with adequate nutrients, vitamins and minerals to keep your healthy, luminous body. Walk into the local market as opposed to push to the super – more fun anyway, and avoids the temptation of all of the processed junk foods.
