If you want to be of optimum health then you should detox your body every once and awhile. Just the way you wash bathe everyday on the outside, it is essential that you do the same to the inside of your body. And that is what detox is all about.
Learning how to detox your body and for how long is very important.
As the toxins build up in your body, your internal organs begin to feel the strain, and they will communicate that to the rest of your body. So the first thing you will begin to feel is tired, or sluggish. The energy you had will begin to diminish along with the clarity of your mind.
These are the first signals the body will give you to let you know it is time to detoxify. If you listen to them and take care of yourself, then you will be good as new again, but if you ignore those signs and continue with your daily routine you could end up with serious illnesses.
By leaving these toxins in your body you risk health problems. Many serious illnesses are caused by a back-up of dangerous toxins that have been lingering in the body for far too long. By ridding your system of these nasty toxins then you greatly reduce your risk of many serious disorders and diseases.
If you have never gone through a detoxification then now is the time to do so. Then after your first detox, you should aim to do it several times per year, any time when you have been putting any toxic foods into your body. Toxic foods are processed foods and even some cooked foods can become toxic. Meat and dairy products should be avoided whenever possible as they will pollute your body.
As you are detoxifying your body will let you know when it is ready to stop.If you begin to feel too tired or weak then you need to stop. Remember that detoxifying does not happen in one step, but rather it takes several detoxification periods. The first time you do it, you may only last a day or two, but then the next time will be easier and youl be able to it for a longer period time.
Simply listen to your body, when you are not feeling your very best, then you know it is time for a detox. Follow your chosen detox diet carefully, as stated above you will need to take it slowly. It is better to stop too soon on a detox diet than to go to far and risk upsetting your system before it is ready for a total detox. You will learn how to read your body during the detoxifying and will know when to slow down or even kick it up a notch. No matter which system you decide to use, it will undoubtably change your health and life for the better. Good Luck.
