A Quick Detox for Weight Loss

by Sandra Essexin Health / Weight Loss (submitted 2012-01-26)

Detoxification is all about resting the body's internal organs, and then cleaning and nourishing them from the inside out. By eliminating toxins from your body, and then feeding it with wholesome, healthy nutrients, the body is thus helped to get rejuvenated and better able to ward off common diseases and maintain optimal health.

We live in an age when chemical pesticides, chemical fertilizers, food preservatives and many more have become a part of life. In addition, plastics and other materials used for food packaging also constitute health risks. So very often, these substances leak into and contaminate the food we consume.

The process is usually slow and imperceptible. But overtime, they cause our body to become overwhelmed, leaving us tired, weakening the immune system as well as slowing down metabolism. You must know by now that sluggish metabolism is one of the chief causes of overweight and obesity.

So if you must lose weight, then you must also increase the rate at which your body burns calories--your metabolism. And to achieve that, dietitians recommended that everyone should do a detox at least once each year.

Fortunately, internal body cleansing (detoxification) isn't a procedure that needs to be administered at a hospital. Although individuals under special medication and breastfeeding mothers need to see their doctors before embarking on a detox program, generally body cleansing is a Do It Yyourself procedure.

It begins with little changes in the food you typically consume each day. The food you eat can either help your body cleanse or they can clog your body. Foods can contribute to the build-up of waste in the form of excess weight and fat, or they can contribute to the process of losing weight.

The right food provides the body with lots of energy while the wrong types of food leave you feeling sluggish, listless and depressed.

Though the body possesses amazing self-healing abilities, each of us still has part to play. For instance, don't you agree that the person who limits their consumption of foods rich in fats and carbohydrates have a better chance of staying thin than those who binge on these sorts of food? Similarly, you need the right foods to nourish your body and help your immune system stay strong. Also, you need to eat the type of foods that help metabolism and waste removal.

As far as cleansing your body is concerned, the best foods are those that are easily digested. The reason is that digestion is a process that tasks the body a lot. If you constantly burden your body down with foods hard to digest, little energy will be left for cleansing your system.

The best foods in this regard include fresh, organic fruits and vegetables. They are rich in vitamin water which helps in flushing out waste. They are also easily digested, especially when eaten alone and preferably raw. For best results, this should be eaten first thing in the morning.

This way, they stimulate your body's natural enzymes for the day's work. Of course, it is also beneficial if you could add generous servings of fruits and vegetables to your other meals since they are known to quicken the process of digesting other foods. They work in two ways.

So if you're working on losing weight, do not overlook the need to detox your internal system. It just may mean the difference between seeing quick results or toiling in vain.

Diet is a very important factor for the survival of a People. A good diet is based upon the organic elements that give and sustain life. Daily Nutritional Cleansing is the key to your good health and WEIGHT LOSS. Many people take the human body and its functions lightly. They do not consider what they consume as having a direct and permanent effect on the quality of their overall health. Remember you are what you eat.
