There are many reports doing the rounds that state that both detox diets and products can do you no harm or no good either.

But what is detox? It relates to the cleansing of the kidneys, liver, bowel and stomach and is usually a combination of a number of factors, namely eating, a good exercise program and the taking of herbal supplements, which allow your body to purge itself of all toxins. Although there is no scientific proof, but it is said that by detoxing you are preventing as well as curing some diseases and it gives you more energy.

There are a number of short term detox diets that you can use, which are not aimed at helping you to lose weight, but rather to cleanse the body. But these are not recommended for people who suffer from diabetes, or those with low blood pressure, or those who suffer some form of eating disorder or teenagers, as they will not provide them with enough fuel for them to take part in either sports or physical activities. Also be warned that these can become addictive! A lot of people usually do a detox programme as they find that there is not functioning properly due to the unhealthy life styles that they may lead. The human liver cleanses approximately 3 litres of blood through it every minute and under normal circumstances it can clear about 99% of the bacteria and toxins from the blood in our bodies before it re-enters the bloodstream. Some of the normal symptoms that you will notice if your liver has become overloaded or is not working correctly are fatigue, low grade infections, flatulence, nausea, migraines, constipation, skin irritations and bags under the eyes.

Below are a number of detox plans which are available.

1. Lemonade Diet. This is where you have nothing much more than a concoction of lemon juice, cayenne pepper and maple syrup for a minimum period of 10 days.

2. 15 Day “Quick Cleanse” Program. This is made up of 24 natural herbs and 7 additional ingredients which you take for 15 days.

3. Dual Action Cleanse. This is a natural herbal formula tonic which acts as a purifier for your whole body as well as a way of unclogging the colon.

You will find that there are many more programs out there and they usually all have a number of things in common such a several days of a liquid diet which is followed then by eating organic raw fruit and vegetables, and then the gradual inclusion of other foods to the diet but you must not include red meat, wheat, sugar, eggs or packaged foods.

Also to assist the detox effects of the diet you will also find that you may need to take laxatives, drink salt water, take some form of digestive aid and drink tonics which will assist with bowel movements. These are intended to help you regain your vitality and help with the lost of weight.

If you wish you can now purchase a detox kit from any health food store, chemists or supermarket. So follow the diet, take the supplements and you should be cleansed.

* Eat food that contains Omega 3 such as salmon, mackerel and sardines.

* Take in plenty of nuts and seeds.

* Include herbs within your healthy lifestyle diet such as milk thistle, tumeric, lecithin, dandelion and globe artichoke as they all produce a protective and curative effect on liver damage.

* If you smoke, then quit.

* If at all possible avoid drugs and medicines and exposure to other chemicals.

* You must ensure that you drink 8 glasses of water a day (approximately 2 litres).

* Carry out a routine every day of deep breathing exercises.

But a good and effective detoxifier for you to take each day is simply drink freshly squeezed fruit juices first thing in the morning on an empty stomach.
